How to Play Tank Arena Steel Battle
You control one tank viewed from the side, driving left and right across a grassy arena lined with wooden watchtowers and a wire fence. Enemy tanks roll in from the other side and open fire, so you close in, line up your shot and keep hammering them while damage numbers pop off their hulls.
The HUD across the top tracks what you are earning and how the fight is going: a gem count, a gold count, the current level, a meter with a skull marker, and a red skull counter at the right that ticks up as you knock out enemies alongside a Max readout. On touch screens, an arrow pad sits on the left and two round action buttons sit on the right, one of them a dial-style weapon control.
Gold from your battles goes into strengthening the tank you already drive, while gems unlock different tanks with their own special abilities, giving you new ways to approach the next arena.
Tips
- Keep rolling. A stationary tank is an easy target for enemy shells, so drive while you shoot.
- Watch the red skull counter climb — it shows how many enemy tanks you have destroyed, and the Max readout next to it is the score to beat.
- Save gems for a new tank rather than spending everything on the one you start with; each tank has a different special strength.
- Push gold into upgrades between arenas so later enemy tanks, like the heavy long-barrelled ones, do not out-trade you.
