This should not be confused with [[VideoGame/SeekAndDestroy the 1996 MS-DOS and]] UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} ShootEmUp by Creator/EpicGames, or the Music/{{Metallica}} song.

* WideOpenSandbox: With certain exceptions, missions can be completed in any order you wish.
* WidgetSeries: Well, yeah.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Q-Stein leaders are much tougher then their subordinates- [[LargeAndInCharge and often larger.]] This goes for your side as well- Major Rodeschild, a blue-and-white-striped [=M1A1=] Abrams [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead with the Proton symbol on his turret,]] can hold his own in combat- more then can be said for any of the RedShirts.

** The bosses are the ones [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking that put up an actual fight,]] but still lack any tactics beyond AttackAttackAttack.

* TankGoodness: In spades. Many, many models of tanks ranging from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII to the present day appear, [[RareVehicles including a number of experimental models.]]

* ChainsawGood: You can strap ''a giant chainsaw'' to the front of your tank. [[UpToEleven For extra Goodness,]] equip the Side Saw sub-weapon in tandem with the front saw.

* SigilSpam: Every tank save yours has a flag displaying it's country's emblem, invoking both WearingAFlagOnYourHead and ColorCodedForYourConvenience, as Proton flags are white-on-blue, Q-Stein flags red-on-black. [[UpToEleven If that isn't enough,]] officers of both sides wear their national colors and display the emblems on their hulls.

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: ''Seek and Destroy'' is the best example of this in the ''VideoGame/ChoroQ'' series. See [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/583311-seek-and-destroy/images/box-25343 these]] [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/583311-seek-and-destroy/images/box-46631 two]] for references.

''Seek and Destroy'' is the American name of Shin Combat Choro-Q, an installment of the ''VideoGame/ChoroQ'' series. It is a [[TankGoodness tank-centric]] ActionGame. It first released in Japan in June of 2002, in the US in December of that year and in Europe in May of 2003. The US release was handled by Conspiracy Entertainment.

* PluckyComicRelief: Jevons, a dark green [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_Assault_Vehicle LVTP-7]] with white stripes and leader of Proton's [[LaResistance Civilian Resistance.]] [[TheKlutz He has a habit of]] [[AmusingInjuries forgetting to hit his brakes]] and often reappears afterwards [[TheWoobie with a little bandage]].

The game takes place in Quewar, [[AlternateDimension a "world of steel" very different from ours]], populated by [[SentientVehicle Sentient]], SuperDeformed battle tanks. The powerful Q-Stein [[TheEmpire Empire]] has declared war on neighboring nations and has conquered all but one- TheKingdom of Proton. The PlayerCharacter is Proton's "[[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous Special Force Tank]]", a [[OneManArmy One Tank Army]] entrusted with bringing Proton BackFromTheBrink. Quite literally, as the opening stage takes place in Proton's last held city of Rivageders.

* DieselPunk: While the tanks themselves are based on real world tanks from UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 and onward, and there are futuristic bosses, the towns seem like they're stuck in the 40s.

* TankGoodness: In spades. Many, many models of tanks ranging from WorldWarTwo to the present day appear, [[RareVehicles including a number of experimental models.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: This game as compared to the rest of the ChoroQ games. Though only somewhat, as despite the seriousness of the plot, most of the characters have a fairly upbeat attitude- especially [[PluckyComicRelief Jevons.]]

* DiskOneNuke: [[BritsWithBattleShips The Challenger]] is unlockable in the third town. It just happens to be the second-best armoured tank in the game (the German [[NazisWithGnarlyWeapons Maus]] (unlocked at the endgame) being number one), and it has a large amount of carry weight meaning that it can be upgraded with sufficient weaponry and armour to make the game something of a cakewalk...

* WidgetSeries: Well, yeah.

* AwesomeYetPractical: The [[SniperRifle Long Shot]], which can out range enemies and deal massive damage. Combined with the high reload internal device, and you can kill enemy tanks pretty fast. The [[WaveMotionGun Positron]] also counts in that it deals one hit kills, goes through terrain ''and'' multiple enemies.
