Impactra

IMPACTRA is turn-based artillery. You take turns with the other tanks. Each turn you set an angle and a power, read the wind, and fire a shot. Then the terrain breaks apart wherever it lands.

Every crater changes the map. Cliffs fall away and tanks slide into the holes. A hill that kept you safe one turn can be gone the next.

34 WEAPON FAMILIES, 102 WEAPONS

Every weapon family has three tiers, and each tier changes how the weapon works, not only its numbers. Some examples:

- Bunker busters drill into the ground and go off under the tanks.

- Fuel-air bombs let out a cloud of fuel that runs into every dip in the ground, then light it.

- Gravity weapons pull tanks into each other's shots.

- You can also use harpoons, railguns, orbital strikes, boulders, boomerangs and a deck of cards.

PLAY YOUR WAY

- Free For All: everyone against everyone, up to 8 tanks.

- Team Battle: up to four teams. Teams take turns, fire together in a volley, or everyone fires at once.

- Juggernaut: one player gets a huge amount of armour and fights the rest. The match opens with its own cutscene.

- Singleplayer: fight AI opponents on any arena.

- Online multiplayer: create a room, then share its invite code with friends.

- Fire Range: a sandbox where you can try every weapon. Nothing is at stake.

- Tutorial: a short training course that teaches you to aim, fire, drive and read the wind.

15 HAND-BUILT BIOMES

The biomes include Rust Canyon, Crystal Basin, Frozen Ridge, Moon Crater, Desert Ruins, Ancient Fortress, Sky Islands and Orbital Wreckage. Each biome has its own sky and backdrop, its own terrain and its own hazards. Some arenas have bouncers, portals and props to play around.

BUILD YOUR TANK

Unlock 50 upgrades across five slots: hull, tracks, turret, barrel and core. Some are shown below.

- Reactive armour or a regenerating hull.

- Hover pads, or treads that climb anything.

- A steadier hand, or deeper ammo pockets.

When you host a room, you can turn upgrades off so that everyone plays on stock tanks.

RANKED

Your rating goes up or down after every match. You get credit for where you placed against each player, not only for whether you won.
