Welcome to the battlefield
BRICK BUSTERS is an old-school arcade action game where you defend your base, survive wave after wave of enemies, upgrade your tank, and slowly turn from “barely operational” into a rolling disaster for everything in front of you.
Key Features
Relentless enemy waves — hold the line against swarms of attackers, and every 4th wave deal with a boss who has shown up with their own particularly nasty plan.
Roguelike progression — collect XP, level up, choose abilities, and gather gold bricks to keep your build alive for a little longer.
20+ upgrades and abilities — turn your tank into something far more dangerous than it has any right to be, and discover combinations that make survival feel almost legal.
Varied maps and battlefield hazards — fight across arenas filled with forests, water, mud, steel blocks, bricks, ice, and interactive objects like crates, acid barrels, and explosive barrels.
Your personal mechanic is always nearby
Your personal mechanic follows you throughout the run and comments on everything. Skip the upgrade screen? She has something to say. Spend your hard-earned gold on something stupid? She has even more to say. The game supports 11 languages, and each one comes with its own distinct tone of disappointment in you.
Progress doesn’t disappear completely during a run
When you lose a life during the current session, you lose one level from each ability you have already upgraded. Your progress is not completely wiped, which means that even after a mistake, a bad turn, or a truly inspired disaster, you still have a chance to recover and keep fighting.
Game Features
Full local 2-player co-op on one screen.
Keyboard, mouse, and gamepad support.
Accessibility options: brightness, contrast, separate volume sliders, optional screen shake toggle, CRT and tilt-shift filter modes.
11 languages.
