Path of the Tank is an action-RPG where you can only play as a tank. But why? Why a tank and nothing else? Find out in this linear, glorified flash game that is easy to pick up. It might remind you of a bygone era... Key mechanics of the game: -2 gamemodes to choose from: Campaign and Survival Mode! -Real time combat -Simple yet deep skill tree, with 5 powerful late-game options to freely choose -Hunger mechanic; scavenge for food to survive! -Fairly wide variety of enemies from different factions -Upgradeable armor, potions and weapons -Tons of secret areas that may contain more than simple loot -Basic experience earning system. Defeat enemies to earn xp! -Conversations with differents characters, some with a philosophical questioning. -Travel through different scenarios like dark crystalline caves, villages, ruins, dungeons, and, mostly, lushful forests! -Long boss fights (you're a tank, you will not do much damage!) -Multiple endings and cinematics -Terminals with lore and forgotten memories to relive Gameplay: Tanking the angered forces of nature is no easy task. While your resilience is impeccable, you're still a mortal being, and you will need all the tools you can get. Armor, potions, defensive spells, and even unique special objects or other sources to make yourself tankier are all very needed. Hordes of enemies will try to surround you, and will slowly but surely will try to tear you apart. The gameplay may be in real time, but is not fast paced. You will need to manage you health, hunger, mana and cooldowns of your abilities at a moderate pace. The best way to survive is to manage these resources accordingly. Survival Mode: A secondary, arcade gamemode where you fight enemy waves that become increasingly difficult! Your only breaks are right after 6 waves, that's when you can spend all your money to upgrade your gear! How far can you get? Story: Something went terribly wrong. Nature is completely altered; earth itself is coming to life, animals are scared and the spirits are restless. The balance of existence itself, which is key for the stability of life has been altered beyond recognition. It's not the first time that this has happened, and it won't be the last. The price that the rational and the non-rational beings are paying in this world is heavy. Will you be able to stop this disaster? Of course you can. Otherwise no story would be told. But you're here to discover a lot more than that. Remove the nightmares of the innocent beings in this land, tank. Travel the path. Eat the path. In every story, the path must be travelled. Heroes must do their part, otherwise, oblivion will take it all, leaving nothing in its path. Not even a single memory in the mind of thousands, alive and those who are not here yet. Fortunately for us, our mere natural existence makes all the difference in the world to shape it however we want. That's why we have to fight. One day, when you finally understand the implications of all of this, you will become a illuminated soul. The natural deterioration of the universe must be fought by the illuminated. Entropy is always present everywhere, so we have to be the ones who chose order. There's a lot of places to discover while traveling the path. Perhaps you could dig out some information out of your past too...? The hidden secrets in these lands are key to understand this world. You will have to hunt them down to discover what really happened! But most importantly... Can you challenge oblivion itself?
