Thunder-Tank

Overview

Your space cruiser has crashed on what you discover is the little-known planet called Grom. The ship is unrepairable and you're the only survivor. However, one single tank stored in the ship's cargo remains undamaged. Quickly you discover the planet is under the control of ruthless mutants who have recently conquered this world and enslaved her inhabitants. Do you have what it takes to free the people?

With your weaponized Thunder-Tank, go to battle against waves of mutant military machines. If you and your Thunder-Tank can make it through, you'll come face-to-face with the final enemy who wants nothing more than to spill your blood for attempting to play the hero.

Do you have what it takes to be this planet's new hero? We shall see, but at least you know, you do have... THUNDER-TANK!
