About Hills of Steel

Hills of Steel puts you behind the treads of heavily armed tanks in a 2D physics-based destruction derby. The core loop is all about momentum and positioning as you roll across uneven terrain, angling your chassis to land the perfect shot on enemy vehicles while keeping yourself from flipping over. It is a game where the map itself is as much of an obstacle as the bosses and enemy tanks trying to reduce you to scrap.

Success means learning to balance your aggression with your vulnerability. Because your main gun is fixed to your tank's rotation, navigating the slopes is the only way to aim. You will unlock an arsenal of different armored vehicles, from the balanced Joker to the heavy-hitting Titan, each requiring a completely different approach to the battlefield.

Controls

  • A / Left Arrow: Reverse
  • D / Right Arrow: Drive Forward
  • Spacebar: Fire Weapon

Tips

  • Control your angle: Since your weapon aims based on the slope you are sitting on, reversing up a small hill is often the best way to hit airborne or distant targets.
  • Armor over speed early on: Upgrading your tank's armor will keep you alive longer during boss fights, which is usually the main bottleneck for progression.
  • Learn the bosses: Enemy bosses have distinct attack patterns. Focus on dodging their heavy volleys before moving in for your own counterattack.

Whether you have a few minutes to spare or want to dive deep into unlocking the entire garage, Hills of Steel offers a satisfying arcade combat experience directly in your browser.
