Thunder Tank: Iron Shield is an auto-battler where you outfit a tank with weapons and gear arranged on a grid, then watch it fight through waves and bosses. You earn currency between battles to upgrade equipment and acquire new perks, building stronger loadouts across procedural runs. The game balances idle progression with hands-on inventory puzzle-solving, making it ideal for players who enjoy roguelike depth without demanding constant attention.
About this game
A relaxing strategy idle shooter that blends bullet hell action with backpack-like inventory management. Pilot your vehicle through a desolate, post-modern world, conquer 20 difficulty levels, collect diverse weapons, and build the ultimate firepower lineup to survive the wasteland.

Good idea, could have been a good game, but the stategy every time just ends up being restart a level over and over until the game finally gives you enough machine guns, and then proceed to breeze through. If you get past round 2 you'll get past round 10 without a problem...

It is a fun game well worth its cost.
However right now it is not worth it to play past a certain point, due to horrible balancing issues. The starting weapons outperform anything you unlock in the game by a huge margin, and take up less space to boot. You end up building the same tank every single game, or loose if you draw too many of the new weapons. The new weapons also don't have any cards to boost them, the laser should be able to be hooked up to the battery, like the flamer is hooked up to the fuel tank etc.
The balancing on the level up cards is ridiculus. The macine gun gets +50% crit chance, and the flamer +100% damage, while the new weapons have some paltry +15% damage in comparison.
