Tanarus is a free 3D multiplayer online tank first-person shooter that was commercially released on November 30, 1997.[1] It was developed under the direction of John Smedley at Verant Interactive (which had recently parted from 989 Studios) and published by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE). Originally titled Armorgeddon, Verant was forced to change the name when another game with that name was discovered. Tanarus was in open beta from 1996 through most of 1997, and quickly gained a strong following through word-of-mouth.[citation needed] Once the game was commercially released, however, there was very little marketing effort on the part of Sony, and despite critical acclaim,[citation needed] sales were disappointing. Tanarus is now part of the Station Pass package offered by Sony Online Entertainment, which also includes Infantry and Cosmic Rift. It is now free to play and doesn't require payment of any kind.

On May 25, 2007, SOE announced the end of pay to play for all Station Pass games starting June 26, 2007. It can be downloaded on the Sony Station website.[2]

Gameplay

Game arenas (also known as "maps") allow up to four teams to play at the same time. Each team can contain up to five players. Most of the arenas were created by the player community.

Upon joining the arena, each player selects a tank to operate from the five models available. The tank may then be customized through the utilization of various weapons and support modules. Numerous combinations can be used, contingent on what the player wishes to do (capture other teams' flags or fight, for example). The player may switch tank models during the game by using one of their base's recon stations. Players see the Tanarus world through the tank gun turret.

There is no set objective in Tanarus, though the game presents various goals of team-based combat: Generally, to destroy the other colors' tanks, capture recon stations to provide a tactical or strategic advantage, and, finally, to capture another team's flag, bringing it back to your own base, thus destroying everyone on that team.

Regular combat

There are four sets of arenas with a set regular-type gameplay, by which any tank is accessible and no weapons are restricted. These are: Practice, Beginner, Open, Advanced (otherwise known as ADV), and Co-op.

Practice provides various arenas to help players of all ranks hone their skills. No score is gained (though bounty can still be collected and combat proceeds as normal) and there is no alteration to a player's kill-deaths ratio.

Beginner provides players with a rank of Newbie to Sergeant a place to combat each other fairly. However, because of the lack of new players in the game, the Beginner set of arenas are seldom used. Score and ratio counts here.

Open is a set of arenas for players of all ranks to combat each other. All score and ratio counts as normal.

Advanced is only available for players of the rank Sergeant and above. Here, while a player's score and ratio matters as much as anywhere else, bonuses are provided for recon captures/maintenance and other achievements by adding to a player's score.

Advanced Co-op is a set of arenas recently implemented into the game which works mostly the same as Advanced. However, in Co-op, players are required to use teamwork. Players who don't assist their teams in the Co-op arenas may be banned from the Co-op arenas. A ban from Co-op arenas does not affect access to the rest of the Tanarus arenas.

Missile wars

There are two sets of arenas utilizing a special type of combat that uses missiles and a Lightning tank: Phoenix wars and Force wars.

In Phoenix wars, a player uses a Lightning tank equipped with either Phoenix missiles or rockets (or any combination of both). Phoenix wars has its own set of arenas. Players are especially vulnerable, as they have no shields, and no stealth, so they can easily be hunted down....(and so on)
