Available exclusively from the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS family systems, gamers can assemble their own colourful crew, hop onboard one of 30 specialised tanks and compete in crazy tank warfare against up to five other players.

On board the game there are expansive maps which come with destructible environments and players can choose whether the want to perch on a faraway hill and aim, through the periscope to expertly land their shots or be brave and face their enemies head on with a frontal assault.

Alternatively Download Play enables gamers to enjoy six-player skirmishes with one copy of the game between you. But for those who prefer to fight it alone, there is an action-packed single-player campaign with 30 objective-based missions where they can hone their tank-based tactics.

In addition, players can boost their firepower by hiring Troopers - these wacky warriors ride alongside the player in the hull whilst being on hand to supply increased firepower, improved mobility and more enhancements. Some Troopers can even fire paintballs to block the enemy's view, or stop them in their tracks entirely with a freeze attack.
