About Digitanks!
We know you stay up at night wishing you could build electronic tank fleets and lob digital artillery shells at your hapless victims. We know you trod through the day dreaming of crushing your enemy under your merciless hover-treads. We’re not sure how being crushed under a hover-tread would work, but what you may not know is that your computer dreams of the same things. Fortunately, we’re here to help.
Digitanks brings classic artillery-style gameplay to 3D, and transforms the concept with strategy elements. Traditional artillery games locked players into a 2D environment, but Digitanks kicks it up a notch by opening the game up with resources, base-building, and turn-based strategy, all in three dimensions. You command a fleet of digital tanks and work to conquer your foes. Expanding your base, defending your supply lines, and controlling Electronodes - the source of power - allows you to build ever increasing fleets of battle tanks.
Digitanks raises the bar for artillery games. Tanks are no longer automatons firing blindly in a desperate attempt to kill the enemy before he kills you. In Digitanks, you must manage your resources intelligently and effectively if you expect to succeed. Four specialized units each have distinct advantages and drawbacks. Will you allocate your resources to constructing an artillery battery, at the risk of allowing your enemy time to build his defenses? If you advance to capture more resources, will you leave your supply lines undefended? Will you focus on increasing production capacity or will you construct your fleet and go for an early victory? Artillery games used to be about having sharp aim, now they’re about having sharp brains.

Really short: the campaign is two short tutorial missions showing you the basics and nothing more than that (what is the third resource after energy and command cap? figure it out by yourself lol), then there's two skirmish maps, expect to see everything in 1-2 hours at most. Also the visuals are cool but drowned under an absurd amount of bloom and screenshake every time any unit fires: it took me a while to figure out shot trajectories are actually important because I literally couldn't see it happen, I only noticed when I tried firing through another unit and notice it had died after the SFX spam faded away.2 found this helpful
Digitanks is a labor of love, made by a good friend of mine. It feels very much like a 3d version of the old popular artillery/strategy games of the late 90's/early 00's - think Scorched Earth, Worms, Death Tank etc. Designed, developed, and created entirely by a single person as immersed himself in what he loved to do, (programming video games,) Digitanks delivers a blast of nostalgia for older gamers, and a window into the past for younger ones; reminding us of a simpler time of LAN parties, midnight releases, gaming magazines, and 733t 5p34k. Pick it up and enjoy it for the gameplay, or pick it up and enjoy it for the memories.2 found this helpful
Surprisingly funny for the genre, I wasn't expecting it. The UI and tutorial did a good job guiding me through the experience! Was able to play on my Steam Deck with no troubles. I'm not normally an RTS player but I did really enjoy this one.2 found this helpful
Short but sweet, 8/10 +Weapons +maps +graphics +intro -controls, auto-move is a blessing and a curse1 found this helpful
Digitanks is a fun turn based strategy game with old school PC gaming feels. The soundtrack and visuals have a cyberpunk style, kind of reminiscent of System Shock, but in a way that’s super relaxing instead of super terrifying. The gameplay is like Civ meets StarCraft, but with a “the world is a computer” theme, something like Introversion’s classic indie title “Darwinia”, though drawing less heavily from Tron. It’s all the kind of thing that I would have stayed up late every night playing with my old college roommates while eating Chinese fast food and donuts. Speaking of which, that sounds like a good time. What are you all doing wasting time with your clickbaits and your mukbangs? Pick up a copy of Digitanks and enjoy it as God intended, with a side of orange chicken, and an apple fritter.1 found this helpful
Good evening. It is I, TANKGAMEGUY! After twelve long years, Digitanks has finally arrived on Steam, which means that so have I! For how could I not revisit my old friend Digitanks, when I have such fond memories of playing it back in those long cold days of 2011? Its charming mix of classic trajectory-based warplay and flippant metahumor is truly what got me through my troubled sojourn as an itinerant lineman in Gothenburg. I just had to recommend it to every polycule in my hostel, and before you knew it, I had found my niche as TANKGAMEGUY, creator of content and recommender of products. I'm sure no scant few of you out there in Steamland have similar stories, and you don't need my recommendation to replay Digitanks. What new experiences will it yield, now that the clangorous stupefaction of youth has been swept from your pristine intellect? And for all of you who have never had the pleasure of playing Digitanks, I can say only one thing: you have never experienced a truer TANKGAME.1 found this helpful
