In short, BattleTanx is a love story (how far would you go for love?), with guidable missiles, nuclear warfare, and machine guns, which would make every love story better if you asked me.Īnyways, as a vehicle-based combat game, you wouldn’t be too far off to imagine a Twisted Metal title from Nintendo, but refraining from comparison of the two, BattleTanx has recognizable quirks that were enjoyable. So, the militias become little more than barbaric tribes who worship the female survivors, hailing them as “Queen Lords,” and Griffin believes that somewhere out there, Madison survives, protected by a tribe, and he’s going to find her. Griffin, along with others, manages to survive by way of his tank, which is equipped with an “NBC” ( nuclear/biologic/chemical) system. ![]() The governments eventually start nuclear war over women and civilization comes to an abrupt end. In retaliation, men begin forming into militias, their weapon of choice being (of course) tanks. Madison offers herself as tribute to the government to protect Griffin (aww). So, long story to short story, the governments begin capturing their own women to “protect” them, fighting against their own male citizens. Our protagonist, Griffin Spade, is preparing to marry his fiancée Madison, who is one of the X2 survivors due to unique body chemistry. The curtain opens, it’s the year 2001 (funny to think that when the game was released 2001 was supposed to be the future) and ninety-nine percent (99.99% exactly) of the female population has been wiped out by a virus known as “X2.” The now male-dominated governments began struggling to collect the surviving women to ensure the human race survives.
