Released for MS-DOS,[2] the Sega Saturn,[3] and the PlayStation,[2] the game puts players in control of a tank, and tasks them with destroying enemy forces.[3] It has often been likened to Return Fire.[4][5][6] The MS-DOS version was developed first, with the console versions following later.[1] BMG Interactive initially stated that the game would be retitled "Tank" for its European release,[1] but the game ultimately retained its original title of Mass Destruction on all releases. BMG closed down its U.S. operations shortly before the game was to be released,[7] and subsequently sold the U.S. publication rights for Mass Destruction to ASC Games.[8] GameplayMass Destruction is a single-player only game.[9] The player takes control of a tank, which is viewed from an overhead perspective, and undertakes various missions in which the objective is to destroy a specific object in their environment, while avoiding being killed by the enemy forces. The player chooses from three models of tank: one which moves fast but has weak armor, one which moves slow but has heavy armor, and one which is a moderate mix of both assets.[10] The tank has a selection of weapons, some with limited ammunition. The gun turret can be rotated independently of the tank's movement, allowing the player to proceed in one direction while firing in another.[9]In addition to a primary objective, each mission has optional secondary objective which award the player bonus points if completed.[10] Reception{{Video game reviews| EGM = 6.25/10 (PS1)[11] 6.75/10 (SAT)[11] | GSpot = 7.3/10 (DOS)[12] 7.9/10 (PS1)[13] | NGen = {{rating|3|5}}[21] | PCGUS = 76% (DOS)[2] | rev2 = Saturn Power | rev2Score = 71% (SAT)[14] | rev3 = Sega Saturn Magazine | rev3Score = 87% (SAT)[15] }} While some reviewers described the game as "simplistic" and "mindless",[11][14][3] most found its stripped-down action enjoyable.[11][13][16][15][17][33] The lack of a multiplayer option was widely criticized.[11][14][15] GamePro said the missions eventually become somewhat monotonous, but the game is "uninhibited destructive fun that's worth at least a shot as a weekend rental."[18] James Price of Saturn Power criticized that much less strategy is required to survive missions than in similar games such as Soviet Strike,[14] while Lee Nutter argued in Sega Saturn Magazine that Mass Destruction is intended as a game of achieving high scores rather than simple completion of the campaign.[15] Jeff Gerstmann commented in GameSpot, "The mission-based gameplay brings a method to the madness, but one still gets the happy feeling of cruising around aimlessly in a tank and blowing up as many things as possible, friend or foe."[13] Though most reviewers did not compare versions of the game, three of Electronic Gaming Monthly{{'}}s four reviewers scored the Saturn version higher than the PlayStation version, saying it has much sharper graphics and shorter load times.[11] Next Generation reviewed the Saturn version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "MD is a solid, beautiful, and fun game to play, but only if played in short, controlled bursts."[19]References1. ^1 2 {{cite magazine |title=Tank: It's Monster Mechanised Mayhem!|magazine=Sega Saturn Magazine|issue=11 |publisher=Emap International Limited |date=September 1996|page=16}} 2. ^{{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/19980121100844/http://egm.gamespot.com/egm.nsf/WebAllReviewCrew/E17A8D6314984B96882565460065F317 |url=http://egm.gamespot.com/egm.nsf/WebAllReviewCrew/E17A8D6314984B96882565460065F317 |title=Mass Destruction (PlayStation) |work=Electronic Gaming Monthly |author1=Elliot, Shawn |author2=Hsu, Dan |author3=Richards, Kelly |author4=Kujawa, Kraig |archivedate=January 21, 1998 |accessdate=October 13, 2010 |deadurl=yes}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20000816010533/http://www.gamespot.com/action/massdest/review_cgw.html |url=http://www.gamespot.com/action/massdest/review_cgw.html |title=Mass Irritation |last=Shamma |first=Tahsin |date=January 14, 1998 |work=Computer Gaming World |archivedate=August 16, 2000 |accessdate=October 13, 2010 |deadurl=yes }} 4. ^{{cite magazine |title=NG Alphas: Mass Destruction|magazine=Next Generation |issue=23 |publisher=Imagine Media |date=November 1996|page=170}} 5. ^{{cite magazine |title=E3: Mass Destruction|magazine=GamePro|issue=95 |publisher=IDG|date=August 1996|page=49}} 6. ^{{cite magazine|title=Mass Destruction: Makes Libya Look like Sunday School |magazine=Electronic Gaming Monthly|issue=89|publisher=Ziff Davis|date=December 1996|pages=280-1}} 7. ^{{cite magazine |title=Cleaning Time: Corporations Slim Down |magazine=Next Generation|issue=31 |publisher=Imagine Media |date=July 1997|page=23 |url=https://archive.org/details/NEXT_Generation_31/page/n23}} 8. ^{{cite magazine |title=In the Studio |magazine=Next Generation|issue=32 |publisher=Imagine Media |date=August 1997|page=19 |url=https://archive.org/details/NEXT_Generation_32/page/n20}} 9. ^1 {{cite magazine |first=Lee|last=Nutter|title=Tank-Tastic!
