VR? Pah, who needs that? Certainly not Battlezone and today the sci-fi tank shooter hits the flat screen touting world!
After initially releasing on VR back in 2017, Battlezone has decided to forgo the need for a headset and instead is attempting to muscle in on the tank shooting, controller wielding Xbox One, PS4 and PC players.
Whilst World of Tanks thought it may have the tank battling fans sewn up, Battlezone goes for the more futuristic approach, delivering hours of exhilarating, tank warfare in a stunning first-person view. A procedurally generated campaign mode is present, and that should sort out anyone from the solo player to those wanting to hop aboard a tank with friends, ensuring that no two fights are ever the same and catering for full drop-in, drop-out online cooperative gameplay.
But Battlezone isn’t just ditching the VR headset for its launch on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, and the Gold Edition brings forth every single bit of additional content that has ever released for it, including numerous tank skins, bobbleheads and horns. The rather delightful Classic Mode, which has been based on those games found in the iconic ’80s arcade cabinets is also included.
If you wish to get involved in some tough sci-fi tank warfare and had previously been casting a jealous eye towards the VR scene, then you need not worry any more. Battlezone Gold Edition can be picked up right now from your local digital store – The Microsoft Store for us Xbox One gamers. It’s priced at £29.99, although a current launch discount sees that price drop to £26.99.
