How it feels

You duel alien bosses with deliberate parry timing, swapping between blocking and attacking as a lone tank defending Earth.

What players say

Players describe Tankiro as a simple, funny boss rush where you drive a tank through Dark Souls-inspired combat. There is no story, no secrets, and only one track, but the boss movesets are creative and satisfying to master. A few players note that enemies do not react to hits, making the health bar the only feedback.
