$17.99Tankenstein
You are a battered tank held together by spite, rolling through a post-apocalyptic scrapyard where every other tank wants your parts as much as you want theirs. Blow them apart, steal the good bits, and bolt together a Franken-tank mean enough to rule the wasteland.
Is Tankenstein worth it?
Tankenstein is worth it if…
- you like looting enemies and bolting their best parts onto your own ride
- you enjoy learning weak spots and winning through careful aim
- you want a dark, replayable roguelike where every run builds differently

Build a Franken-tank from your victims
Every fight is also a shopping trip. You knock out a rival AI tank, strip it for turrets, armor, and scrap, then mix and match the loot into something uglier and stronger. You even cannibalise enemy minds to upgrade your own CPU. The loop is simple and ruthless: hunt, salvage, rebuild, and roll back out with a vehicle that looks like it lost an argument with a junkyard and won anyway.
Precise shooting in a shifting wasteland
Winning takes more than a bigger gun. Shots and damage are modelled in detail, so aiming for weak spots and learning how each opponent is put together pays off. You do it across a procedurally generated wasteland of ruined biomes, each with its own hazards, plus tough bosses that punish lazy builds. Death is permanent, the tanks are hostile, and the scrapyard does not do second chances.
Good to know before you roll out?
How do upgrades work?
There are two tracks. Your hull, guns, and gear come from physical loot torn off fallen tanks and scrap found in hazardous zones. Your CPU improves separately, by taking the minds of the tanks you beat. One makes you hit harder and survive longer, the other makes you smarter than the machines hunting you.
What does the wasteland look like?
A procedurally generated stretch of devastated country, split into biomes that each change what your tank has to cope with. Expect ruined ground, old-world wreckage worth trawling for, and nowhere that feels safe for long.
How hard is it, really?
Hard on purpose. Rival tanks are all chasing the same survival goal, so they attack on sight, and the bosses are built to test both your build and your tactics. Clever positioning and aimed shots beat charging in with a loud engine.
