About FTS: Frontline Tank Survivor
FTS: Frontline Tank Survivor is a top‑down tank action roguelite that puts the player in full control of a tank’s movement, aiming and main gun. Players switch between armor‑piercing, high‑explosive and specialized ammunition to tackle infantry, fortifications and enemy armor.
You can summon infantry squads, armored cars and self‑propelled guns, upgrade your skills between waves, and combine machine guns, rockets, artillery and air support. Each stage ends with a powerful German armored boss, and a roster of unlockable tanks lets you experiment with different speeds and armor levels.

Direct Fire Control
The game emphasizes direct fire: you control the tank’s movement, aim and main gun yourself. Switching between armor‑piercing, high‑explosive and specialized ammo lets you tailor each shot to the target type. Every shot counts, requiring careful aim and ammo selection to handle infantry, fortified positions and enemy armor.
- Observe enemy types before firing to choose the most effective ammo.
- Practice aiming in early waves to improve shot accuracy.

Summon Allied Squads
Players can call in infantry squads, armored cars and self‑propelled guns to fight alongside the tank. These allies help hold back enemy infantry and strike enemy armor. Choosing which reinforcements to bring lets you build a small task force that complements your tank’s firepower.
- Mix infantry with armored cars to cover both ground and armor threats.
- Adjust squad composition based on the upcoming wave’s enemy mix.

- Layer area‑damage weapons like rockets with continuous fire guns for sustained pressure.
- Upgrade skills that boost ammo types you use most often.
