A screenshot of the story behind Tanks, I Guess. It reads: "The Age of Tanks is Over The wars of the future are no longer fought with these hulking metal beasts. Instead, battle is waged by drones or satellites or people with extremely long sticks.

Now they fight for honor and fuel, determined to be the last Tank standing in a world that has forgotten them."
