Overview
Scribble Tanks is a single-player survival roguelite that drops you into a 3D battlefield rendered like a pencil sketch on graph paper. Developed by Alexander Komissarov and published by shortaktien, this action-casual indie title launched on Steam on October 18, 2026.
The visual style is refreshingly distinct: crisp contours, hatching, and scribbly details replace the usual realistic military look, giving every explosion and tank a charming, hand-drawn feel.
Highlights
- Three tank chassis: Choose between the Scout, Rammer, or Artillery tank, each with its own speed, weight, armor, and handling characteristics.
- Roguelite progression: Collect XP souls and scrap during runs to rebuild and upgrade your tank between waves, with a main cannon as your starting arsenal.
- Multiple modes: Survive 10- or 20-minute runs, defeat the final boss, then push further in optional Endless Mode.
Who It's For
If you enjoy action roguelites with a bullet-heaven twist, or if you're a fan of survival games that reward quick thinking and build experimentation, Scribble Tanks should be on your radar. The hand-drawn aesthetic adds personality, while the short run lengths make it easy to pick up for a quick session.
The game supports English and German, and offers partial controller support, so you can play with a gamepad or keyboard.
