About this game
Battle City asks you to protect something beyond your own tank: the headquarters. Move out to engage enemy tanks, or stay closer to the base and cover its approaches. An attack that leaves the headquarters exposed can put the objective at risk. In the simultaneous two-player mode, partners can split offence and defence or change roles as the situation develops. CONSTRUCTION also lets you arrange brick walls, bulletproof walls and rivers, shaping the space in which those battles take place.
