Toronto (Dec. 11th, 2024) - Indie studio Alpha Channel today announced the release of their debut game, TankHead, a roguelite built around exploration and thrilling vehicle gameplay where players take on missions across the desolate ECA. A surprise announcement at this year's Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition, TankHead is available now exclusively via Epic Game Store.
A cataclysmic event has left the war-torn world of ECA largely uninhabitable. In TankHead, players step into the role of Whitaker, a sleepwalker who illegally ventures into the ECA on missions to recover high-value items. To survive the harsh environment, Whitaker ‘tele-projects’ his consciousness into a Needle—a robust drone able to withstand the ECA’s unforgiving conditions. Using a Needle, players will pilot a Tank to combat the vehicles and creatures of the ECA in an effort to reach Highpoint City and uncover its secrets.
Missions culminate in desperate, high-stake fights with imposing war machines known as TankHeads. Survival depends on more than brute force; players must strategically customize their tanks with an arsenal of weapons, armor, wheels, motors, and abilities. Combat is tactical, requiring players to expose enemy weak points and strike with lethal precision to deliver a killer blow. After each fight, scavenge the battlefield for resources, salvaging parts to upgrade your tank or send to the scrapheap. Every decision matters—the cleaner the fight, the more valuable loot to recover.
At the heart of TankHead lies its distinct tank warfare system. Controlling both the body and turret, players must master maneuvering to keep their armor facing the enemy while shielding vulnerable motors. With a diverse array of mods and weapons, three beautifully detailed maps, and a host of deadly enemies lurking in the ECA, every mission is a battle for survival.
TankHead is available to buy now for PC via Epic Game Store. Fans wanting more information can visit the official site, https://www.tankhead.com/, sign up to the Reddit page and follow the official TankHead X account for all the latest news.
