If there's one thing most every work of fiction depicting a grim, dark future agrees on, it's that sports where people die and things get blown up will become extremely popular to our blood-lusting future generations. World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks agrees with this scenario, as we find a post-apocalyptic America where the most popular pastime is enjoying the subtle beauty of an all-out tank battle. In the World Destruction League, the best tank pilots can find the prime opportunity for fame and fortune. The average pilots, however, will find nothing but the wrong end of some heavy firepower. These pilots tend to not last too long.
