Hills of Steel, developed by Superplus Games, combines the physics-driven hill-climbing format with tank combat, requiring players to manage both vehicle balance across uneven terrain and combat against enemy vehicles at the same time. That combination sets it apart from pure hill-climbing racers, which typically don't require simultaneously fighting off active threats while navigating tricky terrain.
Tank-combat games built on physics-based terrain add an extra layer of challenge beyond simple aiming and shooting, since positioning on uneven ground directly affects both your firing angle and your vulnerability to enemy fire.
The objective is to advance across hilly battlefields while destroying enemy vehicles, balancing terrain navigation with active combat as both threats compound against each other.
Its blend of terrain physics and tank combat makes for a uniquely challenging action experience. GBK Games also has Tanks.io for more tank-based combat.
