Steel Beasts is a tank action game with a third-person view. This is a modern tank simulator dedicated to the American main battle tanks M1A1 Abrams and the German Leopard 2A4. Both cars are fully controllable and are reproduced in the game in great detail. In addition to these tanks, Steel Beasts models a number of modern armored vehicles, such as the Russian T-80, the German Marder and various armored personnel carriers. This game allows the player to take the place of a tank commander or gunner in Abrams and Leopard 2, and also switches to the external camera view of each vehicle. The variety of units in the game (including infantry) allows for a variety of scenarios.
