Armored Fist 3

It was my first tank game ever. It is still fun, but there is no in-game control explanation, so you need this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825400157

Prime late-90s tank jank. I love it. It may be difficult for some people to get running on modern systems, but there are safe fixes to download. Gameplay is what you expect, with lots of missions with a decent variety of objectives and enemies to fight. I recommend waiting for a sale before you buy.

I dont know why this game has a tiger tank on my Steam banner. This may also be the only game ever that actually uses the windows extended keyboard "pause" key to actually pause. I played Armored Fist 2 when I was a kid. Never had the third game so consider this "nostalgia that never was" for me. The fake camos for everything just kinda rock. This is an old game that doesn't support modern resolutions and the highest it can go is 640x480 and as far as I know there aren't any accessible community fixes for this game. However it did run on my computer just fine. The controls are clunky and floaty and old. And you CANT rebind them. And while it has the controls of a "nuanced sim" the actual gameplay is much more arcady and you will be taking out hundreds of nearly braindead tanks (both NATO and Pact) by yourself (many enemies don't even move and the ones that do mostly go through scripted routes). But I appreciate the fact that the enemies pop smoke when being fired upon and NATO symbology is used on the tactical map. And the missions can be easily sequence broken and you have to restart them everytime you do because objectives need to be completed in a very specific order. So…

grew up on this game, now i play war thunder but this will always be the start for me. Graphics are old but this is a good one

Somebody please fix the thumbnail that shows up in the game library.

I like the game for the first few campaigns but then it gets extremely boring and repetitive. Not just that the level design in the latter half is also poor. Couple that with lack of support for modern resolutions its an easy no.
