Under Siege:

In Brief:
Under Siege is another tank shooter; similar to Sundays game giveaway, where you had to control a tank that defended it's base against attack from enemy tanks. Today's version is less maze like, but has similar game play, where you have to destroy enemy tanks before they destroy you. One hit by some of the tanks will destroy your tank immediately and end the level; there are four enemy tank types . blockquote>

You earn cash by destroying enemy tanks; then, at the end of a level you can enter the shop and purchase upgrades for your tank; i.e. armour, weapons or speed upgrades, using the cash you've just earned from destroying enemy tanks.

There are also some power-ups available that appear randomly in the arena. These give you temporary buffs for one of the three attributes, (armour, weapons & speed ). Each one of these can be upgraded up to four times; if you are into fashionable tanks ;) you can change the colour of your tank for a small fee.

Some of the environment is destructible, so watch where you try to hide. See the introduction above for more details about todays giveaway.

Conclusion:
If you enjoyed Sundays tank shooter offering, I think you'll like this one a little more because of the ability to upgrade; plus, it's not got that Pacman/maze like quality that Tanks Evolution (Tank Commander) had.

Consequently It's much easier to manoeuvre around each of the 20 arenas that you get with this game using the WASD keys to turn and move. You cannot move at an angle, only forwards, backwards, left and right. This did cause some issues with movement for me, until I got used to the mechanic. I'm wondering whether a controller can be used with the game? The main positives that Tanks Evo has over todays game is it's coop mode and it has double the number of levels; otherwise, Under Siege is a better game IMO. (It's due for a Steam release on the 8th June 22 HERE.

As with Tanks Evolution, todays game is not one I could play for more than a coffee break session; it's great for those few moments, but there's not enough variation in the game play for it to be a serious contender for many of the games I'm playing at this time; even some of the indie arcade games such as Vampire Survivors , Zombie Night Terror & ΔV: Rings of Saturn .
