Gratuitous Tank Battles
Gratuitous Tank Battles (GTB) blends tower defense, strategy, and simulation in a unique RTS setting. Set in a never-ending World War I scenario through 2114, players command Allied forces across Europe, facing off with mechs, lasers, tanks, and infantry. Unlike typical attack-focused games, GTB lets you play as either attacker or defender on any map—including custom ones you create or download. The game’s standout feature is its deep customization: build units from individual parts, design their appearance, and unlock new modules and abilities through an evolving system. An integrated map editor makes editing and sharing maps easy, while online challenges let you test your creations against others. With Steam achievements, cloud saves, and a persistent war spanning centuries, GTB offers endless replay value. Whether you’re building your dream army or testing strategies against friends, this game keeps you engaged in a century-long battle for Europe. Gratuitous Tank Battles delivers a fresh twist on classic genres.
