  • Tanks, Teams, and Total Chaos — Tower Tanks Announced!

    Tanks, Teams, and Total Chaos — Tower Tanks Announced!

    Build it together. Crew it together. Keep it from falling apart — together. Developer War Mouth Games has officially unveiled Tower Tanks, a riotous 1–4 player co-op vehicle combat roguelike where you and your friends design, pilot, and fight from the same giant war machine.

    One Tank. Too Many Jobs.

    Start from a sturdy base chassis and stack your tank higher, wider, and wilder with every run. Bolt on guns, shields, engines, repair bays, and weird experimental modules — then climb inside and see if your creation actually works. When the shooting starts, everyone has a job:

    • Someone drives — keeping the behemoth moving and aimed
    • Someone mans the guns — blasting enemy armour and heavy turrets
    • Someone repairs — patching holes and keeping critical systems alive
    • Someone manages the engines — juggling power, cooling, and speed

    And everyone can switch roles instantly — scrambling between stations when things go wrong.

    Built to Break — and Rebuilt Stronger

    The signature twist: your tank takes damage piece by piece. A direct hit could shear off a turret, wipe out your repair bay, or tear an entire section clean away. When that happens, you don’t restart — you adapt. Fight with what’s left, patch what you can, and scavenge scrap from the wreckage to rebuild smarter before the next fight.

    FeatureDetails
    Players1–4 — solo or with friends
    Co-opOnline + local shared/split-screen
    BuildStack rooms, weapons, and stations — tall, wide, or totally unhinged
    CombatDestructible tanks — parts fall off, crews improvise
    RunsProcedurally generated objectives, enemies, and massive bosses
    Scrap EconomyLoot wreckage ? repair ? upgrade ? repeat
    Target ReleaseQ2 2027 — Steam Early Access
    PlatformWindows PC (Steam)
    Steam PageLive now — wishlist today

    Physics = Pure Controlled Chaos

    Because every tank is physically simulated, your design matters. Top-heavy creations might tip in sharp turns; sprawling giants soak up damage but expose more weak points. Experiment, iterate, and figure out what works — or just build something ridiculous and see how far it rolls.

    Ready to Climb Aboard?

    Tower Tanks is where blueprints meet battle damage and best friends become best mechanics. Wishlist now on Steam and assemble your crew — the bigger the team, the more chaotic the tank.

    What Is Steel Aces?

    Steel Aces isn’t just another tank game — it’s built from the ground up on fairness, history, and skill:

    • 100% historically authentic — over 1,000 vehicles across 40+ nations, spanning from WWI to the modern era. No imaginary tanks, no “what-if” fantasy designs
    • No pay-to-win — ever — Collector vehicles are balanced equally with earnable ones. No loot boxes, no gambling, no shortcuts
    • Pure line-of-sight combat — artillery and aircraft are excluded. It’s tank vs tank, face-to-face, 15v15 tactical battles
    • Two eras, balanced separately — Ranks I–X (1916–1950) and Rank XI+ (1950–present) never mix, so late-war heavies don’t face Cold War tech
    • Fair matchmaking — paired with same-rank opponents; no random stomping
    • Co-op PvE included — team up against AI to learn the ropes before PvP

    Major Update Drops for Open Play

    The weekend brings a freshly tuned build:

    • Revised driving physics — smoother, more responsive handling
    • Rebalanced vision system — visibility and spotting refined for launch-ready balance
    • Tweaked gun dispersion & aiming stats — tighter, more consistent combat
    • Refined progression paths — vehicle unlocks and upgrades streamlined
    • All progress retained — tanks, ranks, and unlocks stay with your account

    Why It Matters

    “This isn’t another playtest — accounts are permanent. Play for real.” — Steel Aces Team

    Every vehicle you research, every battle you win, every crew you train — it all stays with you. Secure your preferred username now before it’s claimed, and get a genuine head start on the road to Early Access.
