Mage Tanks!

Do you really think wizards have waged war against each other with just robes and wands for thousands of years? Nooo! They recently invented the tank- and the Mage Tank flings fireballs, ice storms, huge rocks and electric beams at its enemies. Welcome to Mage Tanks- a pocket RTS game where you collect, upgrade, and command your army of tanks!

Mage Tanks is an ongoing project.

I plan to bring it to Steam and iOS eventually, depending on game performance.

[Different take: Immersion versus portability in mobile games]
[Game feel: Voices & Audio Design]
