Jan 2, 2025In a field of games that typically offer a slight variation on a theme… TankHead stands out as something a bit different. If you like the idea of tank warfare but with perhaps a bit more of a kit-bashing feel… grab a copy.

Jan 25, 2025An excellent tank action game set against the stunning backdrop of a strange apocalypse. It strikes a great balance between exploration and combat elements, with the audiovisual presentation deserving special praise. The tank battles would lose a significant chunk of their atmosphere if the shooting and damage effects didn’t sound as good as they do. The main criticism lies in the mechanically weaker boss fights and the underwhelming final part of the game.

Dec 17, 2024TankHead is, overall, an enjoyable and interesting take on tank gameplay and on roguelike ideas. It looks fantastic, the story is compelling, and the world it's set in is very cool. I like it, but I don't love it. A bit more variety would have been nice, but in the end, it's going to be exactly what some players are looking for, and that's gonna be great for them.

Feb 26, 2025I really enjoyed my time playing TankHead. With a campaign that runs approximately between 10 to 15 hours, give or take the extent to which one chooses to explore all the nooks and crannies the ECA has to offer, Alpha Channel’s first game is a solid roguelike shooter with enough variability and personality to keep players coming back for more. I wouldn’t scoff at the opportunity to return to this universe at some point in the future, but if this is all we see of the Event Containment Area, it was one hell of a ride.
