Knight Owl Games has introduced Tank Fu, an experimental fighting game that combines heavy armor with martial arts mechanics. The announcement introduces a novel approach to the character action genre, distinguishing itself from conventional fighting game structures. The developer intends to combine the mechanics of tank combat with the movement styles found in stylish action games.
Experimental fighting game features over 16 moves and pre-alpha access
Tank Fu draws inspiration from established franchises like Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, and Hi-Fi Rush. The game places players in control of tanks equipped with martial arts abilities. The game features a setting where heavy armored vehicles engage in agile combat sequences.
Players can execute over 16 distinct moves, including ground combos, aerial attacks, dashes, and cinematic finishers. The current pre-alpha build is available for playtest access on Steam. This early access version includes a four-arena tutorial and an endless arena mode for testing.
The game remains in the pre-alpha stage, meaning features may change before final release. No official launch date has been announced by the developer. Players interested in the concept can join the playtest to experience the current state of the game.
Tank Fu is an experimental fighting game that prioritizes unique mechanics over traditional competitive frameworks. The available pre-alpha build allows players to experience the current state of the martial arts tank combat system. Updates regarding the full release timeline will be tracked via the Steam store page.
