Tank Battle Classic is out on Steam. Chobi Softwear released the single-player World War II tank action game on September 25, 2026, and it has been selling at 1,350 yen with a 30 percent discount to 945 yen until October 9.
Chobi Softwear opened a Steam store page and trailer for Tank Battle Classic in late August, then released the game on September 25. It is a single-player World War II tank action game for PC. The developer's prior work is tank-related apps, including Tank Caterpillar Appreciation App and Tokyo Danchi Tank.
The rule set replaces hit points with armor modeling. Armor thickness varies by hull location, with thick front armor and weak sides and rear. Shell penetration power drops with distance, and angled impacts can ricochet for no damage. A single penetrating shot destroys a tank. Missions cover suburbs, urban areas, forests, mountains, and plains, and include close-quarters fights, long-range interception, dense fog encounters, and escort missions. Most missions let players swap the enemy and allied vehicles that deploy, upgrade vehicle performance per mission, and tune difficulty. Points from cleared missions buy new tanks.
Pre-release coverage described a roster of 16 vehicles. The post-release story said more than 15 tanks are playable and named the T-34/76, KV-1, Panther G, Panzer IV, Tiger I, Tiger II, and Hetzer. The fuller list also includes the BT-7, T-34/85, KV-2, IS-2, Panzer III, StuG III, Jagdpanther, Sd.Kfz.251/22 Pakwagen, and Sd.Kfz.251 Half-track.
The game costs 1,350 yen, with a 30 percent discount to 945 yen until October 9. Further missions, maps, and tanks are planned. Chobi has not given a date for that content.
