NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Milestone, the publisher of Chaos Field and
Rajirugi, tries their hand at a different kind of
shooter. In Tank Beat, players take indirect
control of a Panzer which rolls by obediently
following stylus swishes on a map. The NDS touch
screen shows an overhead view of the terrain and
players may guide the tank to a destination by
simply drawing a line from point A (the tank) to
point B. While en route, enemies may be shot at by
holding the L-trigger to go into attack mode and
then tapping the targets on the map to fire
destructive volleys. When the tank is mobile, it
is depicted on the touch screen with a lighted arc
in front of it which serves as a sweeping radar to
detect enemy armor and targets in the local area.
The game is mission based with stages featuring
objectives that must be fulfilled before the
player can proceed to the next stages.

NCS Game Notes
» Six
cast members are featured in the game in addition
to a number of tanks which differ in POWER,
DEFENSE, SPEED, and RANGE. Please note that only
the Curculi Tank is selectable in the first
training mission where the player learns how to
move the tank to a rendezvous and then shoots at
three stationary targets on the opposite side of a
river. After destroying the targets, roll to the
southwest portion of the world map and face off
against an enemy tank that fires back. By drawing
an arc around the enemy and rolling in a circular
area, you can run and gun at the tank without
catching any return fire.
» The Curculi is strong in either power or defense
but it is speedy and has great range.
» The second mission is an escort mission where
the Curculi tank is used to protect a supply truck
from about 5 enemy tanks in the area. The truck
won't start rolling until about 2 minutes into the
mission so before that, perform a sweep of the
vicinity and destroy two tanks to the north and
northeast portion of the screen. Once the truck
(indicated by the yellow dot) moves, accompany it
and destroy any tanks along its path.
» After completing a few missions, more usable
tanks will begin opening up and the the four tanks
available after a few successful missions are the
Curculi with an HM. GUN and the Coccinell which is
mounted with a CANNON1/M.GUN. Next up is the
Batocera with a CANNON2/M.GUN and the Dorcus with
a CANNON6/7.GUN.
» When a mission starts, the rattle and beat of a
war song reverberates in the background as the
tank rolls. The view on the top NDS screen takes
in the action on the battlefield from a
behind-the-tank 3D perspective as enemies approach
in the distance and fire away. When rolling, the
tank can run 'n gun while locked onto a target and
perform reversals to retreat from an attacking
enemy.
» After each mission, you are ranked and given a
letter grade on your level of performance.
» Tank Beat features a total of 30 stages and 30
tanks in the game. Players may enjoy the Story
Mode where players take control of a tank driver
who interacts with five supporting cast members.
