The visuals could've used a bit more work, though, and so does the enemy's AI. One would have guessed that a game that relies so much on tanks as a central gameplay mechanic would have used tank controls – thank everything that's good that they didn't.Īll in all, Seek and Destroy is a surprisingly enjoyable little game that won't disappoint most players – as long as they know quite well what they're getting into. The game uses a simplified control scheme where up on the left control stick always moves your tank up. Everything looks blurry and the low-poly look makes the game seem an entire generation behind.įortunately, the tight controls are a blessing once you get used to them. Perhaps the only downside to such spectacular mayhem might be the game's visuals. The game has a bit over 100 tanks to collect, and even more parts to attach to them. While this might sound repetitive at first, the fact that you can customize your tank before every encounter means that there are always new ways to blow stuff up in Seek and Destroy. Don't get me wrong, I love it: Seek and Destroy does just what it says on the tin, with almost every mission tasking the player with destroying every enemy in the area. Something that caught me off guard about the mission structure in this game is how much destruction you're supposed to deal with in every single one of the game's missions. Even though you'll be collecting parts and customizing vehicles most of the time, the surprisingly engaging story about three warring factions is certainly not on the level of something like Metal Gear Solid 2, but it will still keep you entertained for most of the game's story mode. The story is certainly one of this game's most unexpected strengths. Instead of being a toy racer like Micro Machines V4, Seek and Destroy aims instead to deliver a complete action experience, with some slight elements of the toys that inspired it scattered throughout.
Though the American version of the game does a great job hiding its Japanese roots, the game is based on a series of pullback cars made by Takara.
There's a lot of trial and error to overcome, but when you finally get it right, you might be looking at one seriously addictive little title. Seek and Destroy might not be a AAA action/strategy title in fact, in many aspects, this is a game that's considerably behind some of its closest competitors – but that doesn't stop Seek and Destroy from being one of the most appealing tactical action titles I've played in a while.įor starters, Seek and Destroy's gameplay loop might not be to everyone's tastes.
