AlternativaPlatform has announced a new online tank game, Tanki X, and is accepting registration to participate in the open beta on the official site. The game is a sequel to Tanki Online.
Tanki X differs from other online tank games in that it stresses arcade style action, and will feature multiplayer game types such as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. Respawning is quick, and players can grab power-ups scattered around the map.
Players build their tanks in a modular fashion, selecting from a large pool of turrets, hulls and protective modules. Weapons include machine guns, flamethrowers, railguns, and shotguns. In addition, players can also unlock upgrades to their tanks by completing matches that can either improve its parameters or just cosmetically change its appearance.
For those interested in applying for the open beta, the minimum system requirements are:
- OS: Windows 7, MacOS 10.5, Ubuntu 12
- Processor: Intel Core i3 3225, AMD A10-5800K
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics: Intel HD graphics 4000
