Scorched 3D

Scorched 3D takes the classic artillery formula of tanks firing enormous projectiles across destructible landscapes and gives it a full 3D treatment. Players control heavily armed vehicles, adjust their firing angles and power, and attempt to land devastating shots on opponents while accounting for terrain and environmental conditions. The simple concept becomes surprisingly strategic once you have to compensate for distance and obstacles, and watching a carefully calculated projectile finally connect is extremely satisfying. The game supports multiplayer battles as well as different strategic options, making it more than a simple shooting exercise. Scorched 3D preserves the spirit of classic artillery games while giving the formula a modernized presentation. It is essentially tactical geometry with explosions, which is difficult to argue with.

“A cross-platform multiplayer modernisation of the classic DOS game Scorched Earth, "The Mother Of All Games", with fully destructible 3D landcapes and stunning visual effects.” - Gavin Camp

Review by Game Hippo:

“This open source clone of Scorched Earth is refreshly decorated with fancy visual effect in a 3D island world. The fundamentals of the good old game rules still applies, which in essence means that you control a stationary tank and with precision you try to aim at the opponent's tank located somewhere on the island. The game has a nice game menu of options which you should take advantage of. In spite of the fact that the rendering of the 3D landscape featured in the gameplay feels somewhat feeble in terms of smoothness, it's compensated by the mere fact of its heritage of Scorched Earth which is one of the game's strong corner stones.“
