Introduction

Spider Tanks is another entry in the Gala Games franchise, adding a PVP battle arena title to its catalog of fantastic games. The game is being developed by GAMEDIA, an award winning game studio from the Netherlands, more known for their successful work on Zapp Live, Zapp Sport, and other popular mobile titles.

Spider Tanks follows a very simple 3v3 PVP style that spans across different game modes. The beauty of it all is how the studio managed to make each mode’s objective unique enough to keep players engaged in the combat while working towards winning the game as well.

Tanks

Tanks are probably your biggest and most important asset within Spider Tanks. It dictates the pace of the game and your playstyle depending on the choices and customization you do to it before jumping into the battlefield. Spider Tanks Each player is prompted to choose a tank before diving into the battle. 

This task though isn’t as easy as it sounds since the game excels at making sure every tank is unique enough to each player to make every battle feel different. This is done through giving players the ability to choose and customize their tank parts, namely the following:

  • Body
  • Weapon
  • Prop
  • Skin

To round out their build, players also choose two Abilities that all Pilots have access to. It is worth noting that Spider Tanks already has a number of partnerships with recognizable brands in place, so don’t be surprised when you see Snoop Dogg’s Snoop’s Bumpin’ Lowrider, or the JACKED O’ Lantern.

Both of which come with a prebuilt combo of a weapon and a matching body so your tank can look extra special on the battlefield. However, you are free to choose them independently as well.

All of these parts are NFT assets that can be bought, sold, or traded on the marketplace, emphasizing the importance of digital ownership within web3 gaming.

The Tank Body is what we recommend to pay the most attention to as it directly affects several aspects of your gameplay, specifically the following three:

  • Armor: The amount of damage you can take before your Tank is a pile of rubble
  • Speed: How fast your Tank moves
  • Energy: How fast your Tank gains Energy to use Abilities

Depending on the combination of these stats, your tank can be more agile but lacks the strength to withstand longer fights. On the other hand, you can build your tank to be a force to be reckon with and a true damage sponge to protect your team from incoming damage. The latter applies to the Nomad model showcased by the Spider Tanks team earlier in the game while the former is represented by the Flea body model.

Game Modes

Spider Tanks offers players a diverse set of modes to experience. Some of them feed off the game’s tanks and players’ desire to just blow stuff up and let them have a straight up explosive brawl while other modes are more strategic and require team coordination and proper tactics to win.

The modes available in Spider Tanks at the moment are:

  • Team Deathmatch: Nothing fancy. Sticking to the basics of kill your enemy more times than they kill you and you win.
  • King of the Hill: Players need to beat their opponents onto dominating a central Control Point and a bar representing control by either team under the timer decides who wins at the end.
  • Chicken Chaser: Some will say this mode is a bit out of place considering it is a tanks game but watching your tank run around the arena trying to collect golden chickens has to be one of the most entertaining experiences you never thought you needed. Once you capture them, you need to take them to one of two barrels on the map, and whoever has the most at the end wins.
  • Kill Confirmed: Every Tank will drop an egg when destroyed. Collecting that egg is how teams score rather than with raw kills.
  • Capture the Flag: Players fight over a golden chicken. Whichever team can hold it for the longest time total during the match wins.
  • Poultry Pusher: a game mode where you’re trying to get your payload– a chicken of mass destruction– to the target area before the opposing team.

As you can see, there is enough content and diversity to suit both casual and competitive players, which is what makes Spider Tanks appealing to all types of players.
