You are the last member of your army’s elite tank commanders, with no choice but to defend your fortress against an entire army of enemy tanks bent on your base’s destruction. Break holes through the walls and situate yourself strategically to remove the enemy as quickly as possible, but stay out of their line of fire, and don’t let them shoot your base down.

3D battle city is a tank game. Your mission is to protect your base and eliminate enemy tanks. Simple enough? This game got its original idea from a classic NES(Nintendo Entertainment System) tank game called “Battle City“. The old game published in 1985 by Namco and soon became one of the most popular game at that time.
We keep the core idea and game mechanism of the old game and add many new features to make the game up-to-date.
