Compared to the historical Robotron explore-a-thon of its predecessor, Panzer 2019 takes the Panzer series in a different direction entirely.
It may not be obvious, but ostensibly the tanks in these games are all piloted by our friend Jack Booster. Following his trip back to 1945, Jack slips back to the future and swaps his ride for a futuristic single-trigger cannon. The new tank zips smoothly along the neon and chrome style backdrops, blasting monsters and aliens with a tap of the space bar.
As refreshing as the first game feels from a Game-Maker perspective, 2019 is a relief from the aimless plodding of its predecessor. You’ve got a corridor, you zoom down it. You’ve got a crossroads, you make a decision. You’ve got a threat, you hit fire. It’s all very simple now. And as far as Game-Maker based shooters go, they don’t get much better.
