A space combat simulation software that allows for multiplayer play.
Ultra Tank-chan! is an impressive multiplayer space-combat simulator that takes inspiration from Volition's FreeSpace series and Bandai-Namco's Ace Combat games. The game stands out for its support of 96 players divided into 6 teams and its drop-in/drop-out multiplayer design. The best part? The game has low system requirements and runs exceptionally well on an Asus eee 900, which is impressive given that the entire game was written in Python.
One of the unique features of Ultra Tank-chan! is its quirky art style, which has been likened to watching "an epic space battle in a lava lamp". This game marks the creator's first venture into game development and 3D programming - from concept to release, the process took just two months. As a result, feedback is welcome from players who may have noticed basic oversights in the game's design.
The game is fully playable, and is available for download on the project homepage along with guides for setup, gameplay, and min/max optimization. The game has been tested on Debian, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X, and while it worked well during development on Windows XP, no feedback was received after its release. The game is best played with a gamepad or joystick, and was developed using a PS3 controller.
Overall, Ultra Tank-chan! is a stable, enjoyable multiplayer game that offers unique visuals and playable options for those with reliable internet and love of space combat.
