Tank Troopers is a Nintendo 3DS tank-themed combat game. The game was released digitally on the Nintendo eShop in December 2016 in Japan, and was released in early 2017 in other regions.
Gameplay
Players control one of several troopers inside of a tank in six-player matches. Each of the different troopers has their own unique special abilities which can be used during combat.
In addition to a single-player mode, the game also features multiplayer through both local and Download Play.[6]
Development
According to Vitei's Giles Goddard, the idea of a tank-themed combat game originated with director Takaya Imamura.[7] In a Nintendo Dream interview, it was stated that the idea was thought of while working on updates for Steel Diver: Sub Wars.[1] While initially designed as a more serious combat game in the same vein as the Steel Diver titles, Takaya Imamura of Nintendo asked other Nintendo developers to help with the sound and design to make the game more "Nintendo-esque" and allow players to easily pick up and play, as many tank combat games already existed.[1]
When composing the game's music, the whistle was chosen as the main instrument, with a quiet orchestra to support it. The music was made more quiet than in other games so that it would not get in the way of other sounds. The voices for the game's characters were done by Nintendo employees and their families, with the intention of having each one "be unique and leave a lasting impression."[1]
According to Goddard, Tank Troopers was planned to have online play, but these features were removed by Nintendo; Goddard has said that the online was likely removed due to time constraints (although the team was ahead of schedule).[7]
