About Sprocket

✦ AI summary

Design and build tanks from scratch with intuitive shape and component editors, then test them in realistic combat where armor angles matter, internals can be destroyed independently, and your design choices directly impact performance. It's a deep simulation that rewards understanding tank design principles across different eras, but newcomers without tank knowledge may want to wait for better tutorials.

Design tanks in a dedicated and intuitive designer, allowing the realistic armour mechanics that make tank combat so unique. Explore tank design's challenges through WW1, the interwar period and the early, mid and late stages of WW2.

Please note: There is currently no dedicated tutorial. If you don't enjoy figuring things out or you don't know much about tanks, it may be worth holding off until better guidance is in place.

Hull & Turret Shape Design


Easy to use and flexible enough to give you endless design starting points. Drag on a face or edge to move it. Bigger compartments create more internal space but have more surface to armour. Well angled shapes may bounce incoming shells off entirely, leaving only a scratch and several ringing ears.

Armour Design


Set the thickness of each armour plate, allowing you to block shots from your foes. Though the weight and space used adds up!

Cannon Design


Build a gun capable of piercing enemy armour. You'll need enough space and force to rotate it. Make sure you save enough room for ammo!

Crew Design


Humans are light but large and quite essential, squeeze them in and assign them one or more roles. Cramped and overworked crew perform poorly.

Attached Parts


Add functional and decorative parts to the exterior of your vehicle. These can define where internals are e.g. the engine is positioned where you place your exhausts and vents, then gets hit if a shell pierces your armour in that area. Place a fuel port in front of the driver and the fuel tank just might absorb a projectile, saving their life - if it doesn't ignite...

Track Design


Focus your tracks and suspension on trench crossing, mountain climbing, going fast or just looking cool.

Engine Design


Design anything from ship engines to lawnmower engines in a basic powerplant designer.

Fuel Tank Design


Set your fuel capacity and tank locations. Even bring them outside of the vehicle - if you don't mind them being shot off every now and then.

Transmission Design


Design your ratios - make it faster backwards than forwards or give it a 1st gear that can climb any mountain. One of these on each track will let one side drive while the other reverses, turning on the spot.

Internal Component Health


No hit-points. Vehicles carry on the fight as long as their critical internals are still functioning.

Full Powertrain Simulation


Engines, transmissions & tracks work together to move your tank with a realistic simulation, making vehicles feel like the real thing.

Scenarios


Battle in a range of environments with a team of your custom tanks, although make your design too expensive and you might be on your own. If your vehicle is destroyed, you carry on the fight in control of an ally - sometimes watching your previous self go up in flames.

✦ AI summary

Sprocket is a deeply creative tank-building game with extensive customization options and impressive visual design that rewards players willing to invest time in learning its complex mechanics, but it suffers from significant save-file corruption issues and lacks proper tutorials, making the steep learning curve even more frustrating. Players praise the responsive developer and frequent updates, though some report game-breaking bugs that have caused them to lose progress.

I genuinely love this game. It gives you so many tools and options to create whatever tank you like if you learn how to use these tools, which can take some time, but it's worth it. Updates are frequent and improves the game for better. Visuals of the game are quite nice and sound design is good too and of course it keeps improving. I would definitely recommend this game for everyone who wants to build their own tanks or recreate real one.
Not recommended Sep 7, 2026
This would be a fun game if it worked. Every time, and I'm not kidding, every time I've tried to save any of my tanks this game has lost the saves. In addition to that the most recent time I tried to play Sprocket the game started bugging out, and then lost the save again.

This game takes a while to get into, but it is absolutely worth the trouble! The game currently has no tutorial and is highly complex, reminiscent of actual architectural development software like AutoCad. Because of this, it can take a while to figure out how to make machines work. Also, due to updates, some of the pre-loaded designs you can play with no longer work properly until you make adjustments to them. Being an early-access game created by a single developer, such things are understandable, and there is a plan to fix these issues. The thing that sets Sprocket apart from other build-and-shoot games is EVERYTHING is adjustable. You can move, resize and reshape EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT to suit your creative vision, right down to the posture of the crewmen inside the machine. Having so many options without any direction is overwhelming at first, especially when troubleshooting, but once you really figure out the building mechanics, there is an insane amount of stuff you can do, from crafting replicas of historical tanks and creating your own designs to battling enemies in historical and custom scenarios.
