You're stuck in the middle of a desert with a heavy duty truck along with 11 others. You were stationed there since there were attacks on the local power beacon. However, nothing is going on and you're bored. So all 12 of you take out your turret platforms and have a race. And then tanks decide to invade.
Storming Sands is a racing tower defense hybrid in which you race your rivals while trying to keep the power beacon protected.
This is you. And also all the other racers. This vehicle is also know as Universal Turret Platform Mk.2 and can fit various types of turrets on the top. You were the one that figured out it could also probably be used for racing.
These mysterious shiny tanks have been spotted attacking the local power beacon. Nobody really knows why. Probably not even them.
Protect this at all costs. Target of tank attacks.
