Gameplay Rules
In TANKS Total Destruction, you control a tank that can move only in four directions and always fires in the direction it is facing. The only obstacles on the map are buildings and water:
Each building can be destroyed with three shots:
Water cannot be crossed, but you can shoot through it:
No other object on the map poses an obstacle for you:
There are three types of enemy tanks: normal, fast, and heavy – the heavy tank moves slower but can withstand two hits. Tactics, reflexes, and map awareness are essential to survive and defeat your enemies.
Combos play a key role – eliminating multiple enemies in quick succession grants score multipliers and delivers the most satisfying moments of gameplay.
Throughout the battlefield, you will find perks that upgrade your tank.
Thanks to varied perk upgrades and unique maps, every battle demands new strategies and quick decisions – perfectly blending classic mechanics with modern design.
