Death Tank Really Coming to XBLA, First Screenshots

7
Death Tank, once a mini-game in Lobotomy Software's PowerSlave for the Sega Saturn, is coming to Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade, as was hinted by Germany's software ratings board.

Now developed by Snowblind Studios, the game is a two-dimensional multiplayer shooter a la Worms, but made real-time instead of turn-based. Lobotomy staffer Ezra Dreisbach, who is credited with the development of Death Tank, now works at Snowblind.

The digitally-downloadable revival will support four players on the same console and up to eight players online. A release date and price have not yet been announced, but the game's first screenshots were released by the studio today.

      yeah, the removal of the turn based gameplay should be interesting.

        Scorched Earth could be played in simultaneous mode as well.

        Turn based WAS better though.

          I only ever had the trial for it, but the trial was pretty much the full game if i recall, and it was awesome, I'm definitely interested.
