Panzer Island

Panzer Island is a pixel-art anime strategy game built around one rule: every step you take triggers a reaction.

Move freely with no time pressure. Enemy drones do not wait for a round to end. The moment a unit enters their detection range, they respond, step by step. Sprint through open ground and you arrive at the objective with your HP already gone. Thread through cover and you might make it clean. The route you choose is the decision.

★ THE STORY

You play as Erika, a scientist who wakes on a ruined island with no memory and three AI soldiers who only half-remember her. Someone has cleared a path through the battlefield and is pointing her toward the truth of what destroyed this place.

The island fell silent after a classified AI defense program went wrong. Erika does not remember what she built. The logs she finds across the battlefield tell her pieces of it. The AI soldiers she leads hold pieces of it too. The story does not explain itself.

★ YOUR UNITS

Three AI soldiers. Three different ways to move.

Katyusha is a tank: ground movement, high HP, close-range firepower.
Nadeshiko is a helicopter: flies over any terrain and flanks from any angle.
Maria is a ship: water and coast access, broadside attacks.

Each unit levels up across the campaign. Earn XP in battle, then spend it on skills that carry forward into later stages.

Recent changes:
Iron Curtain clarity: attack and limit break previews now show the damage you take back from Alpha Katyusha's curtain, and her tooltip and inspect panel show its blocks or charge. Clicking another unit during a route preview now switches to it. Fixed a freeze after cancelling a re-targeting attack, a fallen unit's HP reverting in its header, and Stage 10 not showing stars. Chapter titles now match everywhere, and the chapter complete card is translated.
