The core appeal of Pocket Tanks lies in its simplicity. Players take turns adjusting the angle and power of their shots to hit an opponent on the other side of a randomly generated 2D landscape. However, the true depth of the game is found in its weaponry. The standard version of the game offered a limited selection of basic munitions, but the Deluxe version expanded this into a massive library. The fabled "320 weapons" figure represents the culmination of years of expansion packs, including the "Meteor Fountain," "Super Star," "Space Station," and "Laser Circus" weapon sets.
