The game's story aspect is generally perceived as lacking depth, with many players finding the campaign missions entertaining but overly grindy and difficult, especially after the initial stages. Users express frustration with mission progression issues, including bugs that prevent them from advancing and a reliance on microtransactions to upgrade tanks. While the graphics and gameplay mechanics receive praise, the overall narrative experience feels flat and repetitive, leading to a desire for more diverse missions and a richer storyline.
“This game is actually one of the best games I've been looking for, never running out of tasks, challenging missions, PvP, so many upgrades, strategies, etc. You guys did a good job, keep it up!”
“It's fun trying to figure out a strategy to pull off the mission.”
“I like the story mode; multiplayer is unbalanced.”
“Don't even mention the gameplay; though I have not officially played through even a real mission of the game, I already threw in the towel the moment I was placed into the second stage of the incredibly abysmal tutorial section that makes hand-holding sound gentle. This game drags you by the heel in this mandatory bore of a section that immediately stains the game with all its faults without giving you a chance for a second of fun at all.”
“It was entertaining for a while, but it is so ridiculously grindy that after the first couple of missions, you will realize you cannot progress without investing hundreds of hours into the game or, as the developer hopes, sinking some real money into it.”
“The game is pretty good for a mobile strategy game, although it would have been better if the levels before and after the missions didn't spike up in difficulty too suddenly, because after mission 3, the proceeding level was too hard for my tanks to handle even after nearing their max level.”

While the graphics are generally considered a strong point, there are calls for updates and additional content to maintain engagement.
“Extremely good graphics, incredibly good camera views, awesome battles, detailed tanks and intense battles!”
“Great graphics and it's very immersive.”
“The graphics are amazing and nice, good for gameplay-wise strategy involved in it is good I hope you add more tanks in the future.”
“Foremost, I must address the eyesore of an aesthetic this game has; the off-putting and out-of-place art really tears apart some of the visuals.”
“It took a huge amount of time to download, and I expected much more realistic graphics, not tiny little tanks.”
“The graphics are not good, and the tanks are harder to get.”

Overall, the gameplay is described as enjoyable and visually appealing, with many players appreciating its unique mechanics and strategic elements. However, there are significant criticisms regarding matchmaking issues, grindy progression, and technical problems that detract from the experience. While some find the gameplay addictive and rewarding, others express frustration with bugs, unclear instructions, and a lack of depth compared to similar games.
“First of all, I really enjoyed the game. The graphics are very good and accurate, and the gameplay is very unique and addicting. The only problem is that the matchmaking is a bit biased because the enemy has very OP tanks and level 30 tanks while mine are still level 20.”
“Amazing interactive and entertaining, I love the concept and gameplay.”
“Excellent gameplay and excellent graphics.”
“The gameplay is horribly annoying; none of the units seem to have proper technical development. Moving anything requires extreme patience since they never go where you want them to.”
“Misguided focus on PvP with cheaters, all around bad matchmaking (my level 1 tanks vs a full team of maxed out vehicles??) and stupid airstrike pickups ruin the whole gameplay.”
“Also, pathfinding sucks. When a unit intercepts another unit's path, the unit becomes unresponsive, plus the gameplay is too bland.”

Overall, the grinding aspect is a major point of contention, with mixed feelings about its impact on gameplay enjoyment.
“Until today, my primary complaint was that it's super grindy.”

Overall, players appreciate the minimal and non-intrusive advertising in the game, often praising the reward system for watching ads. However, some users express frustration with recent changes that introduce cooldowns and grindy mechanics, which they feel push the game towards a pay-to-win model. While many find the in-game shop reasonably priced, there are calls for improved monetization strategies that enhance gameplay without relying heavily on ads or microtransactions.
“Amazing that it has almost no advertising, but if you do decide to watch an ad, you are given a reward. Also, the shop is very reasonable in price.”
“Very cool and no ads, freaking awesome.”
“Including one in-app purchase.”
“The only thing I did not like is that they removed viewing ads to get your tanks fixed for PvP.”
“This game is just a cash grab, since PvP keeps pairing you with stronger opponents so you'll be tempted to pay to win.”
“This game is exactly what I wanted, but there's just so many ads it's not even funny.”

“Game freezes at loading battle interface.”
“The screen freezes at 100%.”
“I love it! But when I played the first PvP, the game freezes and didn't load at all even if I found an opponent. So I will delete it right away; I won't waste my time in a game that freezes a lot. Goodbye!”

Reviewers express disappointment in the game's replayability, citing a lack of engaging content and repetitive gameplay that leads to boredom. The lengthy missions and minimal rewards further diminish the incentive to replay, making the overall experience feel stagnant.
“As I've said, the replay value has diminished, and I'm just about ready to stop playing. I am weeks away from getting one of the best tanks; this is a flaw.”
“One flaw that bothers me is the replayability of the past maps. It gets too boring to farm coins. I don't mind grinding, but it becomes tedious, plus the big missions are too long to replay and reward literally below 1k.”
