More about this game
Deploy into a vertical war zone where you must climb to the extraction point before the screen catches up. Fight on foot using a rifle and grenades, or mount a tactical tank to unleash heavy cannon blasts. Navigate through rotating blades, hydraulic presses, and rising lava while battling rebels and sentry guns. Collect exactly 2 Fuel and 2 Gears to complete your mission objectives and unlock the boss arena. The run ends if you lose all 3 starting lives or fall off the bottom of the screen.
Tips
- The tank's cannon blast radius can be upgraded up to level 3 in the Hangar Shop, increasing the explosion size by 10 percent per level.
- When fighting on foot, your soldier will automatically use a knife attack on enemies if they are within striking distance.
- Use the Quick Repair option in the pause menu to restore 30 percent of your tank's armor for 2 Gears, but you can only use this once per stage.
Questions
How do I unlock Endless Siege mode?
You must clear Stage 1, Jungle Ascent, to unlock the Endless Siege survival mode. This mode features infinite sectors where you survive for a high score and get a 20 percent tank armor heal after each wave.
What happens if my tank is destroyed?
You will be forced to eject and fight on foot. You can still complete the mission, but you lose the tank's armor and heavy cannon until the next deployment.
How do I upgrade my equipment?
Use the Fuel and Gears you collect during missions to purchase permanent upgrades in the Hangar Shop. You can increase your maximum tank armor by 15 percent per level or buy extra starting lives.
