How it feels

A turn-based tactical roguelike where you command a single tank through procedurally generated World War II campaigns, with minimalist ASCII visuals and permadeath making each move a calculated risk.

What players say

Players say this is a faithful digital version of the 1987 board game Patton's Best, translating its dice-roll combat and tank crew management. The difficulty is punishing and permadeath is common, with crews often surviving only a few days. Some warn the tutorial is nearly absent, while others praise the detailed realism of WW2 tank operations.
