About this game

Grobda is a shooter spin-off from Xevious, featuring the Grobda tank originally seen as an enemy in that game. Players navigate arenas filled with indestructible obstacles and enemy tanks.

Destroyed enemies trigger explosions that can damage nearby tanks, including the player. A temporary shield protects against enemy fire, but sustained attacks can eliminate it. The game includes 99 rounds, known as “battlings.”
