Top Hat Studios and developer Art of Sully have unveiled BOMBSHELL BLITZ, a roguelike twin-stick tank battler infused with dating simulation elements. The game is slated for release on unspecified consoles and PC via Steam, though a launch date has not yet been shared.
Drawing inspiration from the straightforward yet challenging Wii Play Tanks! minigame, BOMBSHELL BLITZ elevates the twin-stick shooter formula with roguelike mechanics and a charming cast of characters. You take on the role of a cadet at Bombshell Military Academy, navigating a series of themed testing courses. Each course features unique environments that shift the style of combat, requiring players to adapt their strategies to succeed.
Combat in BOMBSHELL BLITZ centers on mastering a variety of specialized tanks and platforms designed to test your skills. By learning enemy patterns and devising clever tactics, you can conquer each course’s challenges. Beyond standard tank upgrades, you can unlock special tactical abilities like commanding allies, deploying drones, or calling in airstrikes, adding depth to the fast-paced battles.
Between exams, interact with a colorful cast of characters, from shy to explosive personalities, building relationships to earn extra credit or leniency in combat tests. The game’s roguelike structure keeps each run fresh, with predetermined exercises presented in random order and modified by positive or negative effects, ensuring no two playthroughs are the same.
