![]() ![]() ![]() You can also fully customize your own units if you like. There are different units for you to choose from if you’re an attacker or defender and the strategies you employ must also be radically different which increases GTB’s value by a good order of magnitude. I played both game modes and contrary to my expectations I found the attack mode not less interesting than when defending (which in theory is the main game mode). Mix that with a good dose of humor, nice effects, addictive tower-defense gameplay, a deep unit design feature and online maps that you can share with your friends and you have GTB right there in a nutshell.Ī big difference in GTB from its Space cousin, besides offering the possibility to issue orders to units, is that in GSB you can only choose which units (ships) you want to deploy before each mission starts and then watch the battles unfold, while in GTB you are allowed to place your units strategically not all upfront but over time during your play session in real-time.Īn interesting aspect of GTB’s gameplay is that you can choose to play not only in the role of the defender but also as the attacker. So, imagine a WW2 setting where Allied troops are fighting the Nazis, alright, but now you have laser weapons and even mechs at your disposal. GTB is a tower defense game that unfolds on a sci-fi alternative history setting, where Great Britain is still fighting the Nazis (or at least it seems to be them) 200 years after the second world war has ended (in normal time frame). That’s nice, but what exactly is Gratuitous Tank Battles? It doesn’t allow you to do much more than “go that direction” or “kill that thing” I’m afraid but that’s already a big improvement from GSB in my opinion, where there you could only setup your missions, hit start and sit back to enjoy the fireworks. ![]() First of all GTB allows you to issue commands to units. After bringing us Gratuitous Space Battles Cliff Harris from Positech Games now brings us Gratuitous Tank Battles. If you played or know the former you’ll have a good idea of what to expect from GTB, however there are substantial differences in this new title that make it considerably different from its spiritual predecessor, and not just a theme re-skin. ![]()
