Tanarus is an online exclusive action game with tanks. Before the game
starts the player has to choose a difficulty setting which affects the
available arenas and his human opponents. Then there is the selection of the
tank; there are five tanks to choose which differ in speed, armory and
weaponry. The last decision to be made is the equipment like canons, rocket
launchers or energy guns. The most important choice is the battery because
every laser shot and every movement lowers its charge. When the charge is
consumed the tank moves with 30% of its normal speed. At the own base serves
as a maintenance area, which means the tank can be repaired or completely
replaced and the battery can be replenished.

Then the game itself begins. The goal is simple: Blast the enemy into little
pieces, either in deathmatch, a team battle or a duel. There are up to four
factions in one area which all have a flag in their base. When catching one of
them and bringing it to the own base the player gets points which result in a
better rank. The arenas are cities with buildings, ramps and streets. The
mouse is not supported, the game is either played with the keyboard or a
joystick.

The editor allows to build own areas which can be played with other paying
customers when the developer approves them. Yes, to play the game there is a
monthly fee which has to payed. However there is also a free version which
offers two arenas and one tank.
