Tanks are rolling into the Marketplace

Windows Telephone games such as Alphajax and Words by Post are turn by plow word games that you lot play online. Just what if you desire a piddling more activity in your online gaming? Say, a need to blow things upwards? Tanks might do the trick.

Tanks is a plow by turn gainsay game that you play online with the goal of capturing cities and wiping out your opponent. You'll need to register your email accost with the game's server and once that's washed, you lot're off to boxing.

More after the pause.

Tanks follows a similar set-up as other online, competitive games. Yous can select a partner by inviting a contact to a game or have the app choose an opponent at random from the registered users. You besides have vii unlike playing fields to choose from or you lot can allow the game choose ane at random.

Tanks Main Menu

Yous brainstorm the game with $150 which you will utilise to purchase tanks and weapons upgrades. Your games are summarize on the Play page where games that it's your move are displayed in blue and your opponents motion in cherry-red. Your turn consists of movements (tap the tank and drag to the highlighted square yous desire to motility to) and purchasing vehicles or upgrades.

When you lot're through with movements and purchases, tap play and any enemy tanks adjacent to yours will exist fired upon. As the enemy takes damage or you lot capture cities, you earn cash. From there, you sit back and await for your opponent to move.

Tanks Game Screens

Tanks has Alive Tile support to evidence you lot how many pending moves you take and toast notifications when your opponent moves. Tanks does require a bit of patience because information technology is more than of a strategy game than an action game. I would have liked to take seen a "you lot vs. the computer" selection as an alternative for a quicker paced game.

The game ran stable and button notifications for your turn at play were prompt. I have to admit the game grew on me the more than I played. Tanks is best experienced when you find an opponent who is readily available, which might be the only knock on the game. Tanks seems to loose some of its appeal if you have to await hours in betwixt turns.

Tanks is a free, ad supported game that might be worth a try if you like turn-based combat games. You lot tin can download Tanks hither (opens Zune) at the Marketplace.
