Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“TankPunk is a multiplayer game built around experimentation, balance, and evolving player strategies, so community feedback is essential to making it the best version of itself.
Our goal is to use Early Access to iterate quickly, expand content, and shape the game with the community while keeping the core design focused and fun.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect TankPunk to remain in Early Access for around 3-6 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of TankPunk is planned to include more content, more polish, and a more refined competitive experience.
The full version is planned to expand with: more items, more maps and environmental variety, improved balance and build diversity, better UI, visuals, audio, and overall polish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of TankPunk will be playable and feature the game’s core systems, but it will still be in active development.
At Early Access launch, players can expect: playable multiplayer matches, the modular tank slot system, weapons, active items, and passive items, experience-based item selection during matches, Magic vs Technology orientation and scaling.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We currently plan to offer TankPunk at a lower price during Early Access than at full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will play an important role in shaping TankPunk during Early Access. Our goal is to build TankPunk in an open and iterative way, using community input to improve both the competitive depth and the accessibility of the game.”

About This Game

TankPunk is a fast-paced top-down multiplayer battler where you build your war machine mid-match from a pile of cannons, arcane weapons, gadgets, shields, curses, and brutal close-range contraptions.

Every player starts with the same empty tank hull. No built-in cannon. No fixed class. Your build is shaped during the match by the choices you make.

Farm neutral camps, gather Experience, and draft new parts for your tank from a rotating selection of items. Slot in long-range cannons, rapid autoguns, spinning flails, spectral blades, mines, blink sigils, repair systems, and more. Mix offense, defense, and utility across 8 modular slots to create your own fighting style.

Choose between two opposing paths of power:

Technology — steam-forged cannons, reinforced plating, mines, engines, sustained firepower

Magic — arcane emitters, shields, silencers and distortion

But there’s a catch: Magic and Technology do not grow together. They compete.

Your tank’s alignment shifts as you equip items, pushing your build deeper into one side while weakening the other. Specialize for maximum power, or walk the dangerous line of a hybrid build.

Combat is automatic — your weapons fire when enemies enter range. Victory comes from movement, timing, positioning, and smart drafting, not manual aiming.

Features

  • Fast-paced top-down multiplayer tank combat

  • Modular tank building during the match

  • 8 item slots for weapons, active items, and passive upgrades

  • No fixed classes — build your tank as you play

  • Auto-firing combat focused on positioning and timing

  • Magic vs Technology alignment system

  • Experience-based item drafting with meaningful build choices

  • Ranged and melee weapons, from cannons to spinning flails

  • Active abilities like shields, mines, boosts and blinks

In TankPunk, your tank is not chosen before the battle.

It is forged in it.

Also, despite the fact that we haven't yet received an official compatibility check for the Steam Deck, we believe everything works fine on this device.
