Naturally, most of BattleTanx fun is derived from mindless destruction - and the game definitely succeeds on this level. Additionally, gamers can play the game through two views - behind the back, and from the tank hatch. The latter can also be knocked off its rails and used for attack. A much speedier MotoTank is also used in certain missions, and players can also at times switch to a massive railgun, The Goliath. It has a movable turret (unless you go with the easy, but crappy standard controller setting) and can flatten objects such as cars and small buildings without major problems.

The standard M1A1 Abrams is used for most of the action. Jump in your tank and destroy a certain number of enemies, capture a queen, or make it to the other side. This decidedly cheesy premise sets the stage for countless tank battles between rivaling gangs and never-ending destruction. Named Queen-lords, they are protected at all costs by individual tribes of men. Surviving women are looked upon as if they are Gods. Eventually the world is thrown into thermonuclear war and vast cities are destroyed. But wars aren't fought over territory or money. Before long martial law is established and civil wars break out. Governments work quickly to establish quarantine zones, safe-houses for women who haven't been infected by the virus, but many blame the government for the outbreak to begin with. After a plague - a virus that attacks the double-X chromosome, the females of a species - unleashed from the jungles of South America makes its way into the air, women begin dying by the thousands.

The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where women have become somewhat of an endangered species. Battle Tanx can be described as 'Road Warrior' with tanks.
