In the bleak future, the world's dominant form of entertainment is the World Destruction League — a traveling competition where contestants attempt to blow each other to pieces while piloting tanks. The player joins as one of 12 competitors, each with a unique tank and weapon loadout, competing across 35 events held in seven different arenas. Arenas are filled with buildings and obstacles, but blasting them out of the way is always an option. More than 20 different weapons and four power-ups are available throughout the competition.
