The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it slow and cumbersome, particularly due to the dual tank control mechanics and lack of dodging capabilities. While the old-school arcade style and high score features are appreciated, many feel that the overall gameplay lacks depth and excitement. However, others praise the simplicity and strategic elements, noting that it offers enough content for its price.
- “Great game, great gameplay, enough content for its price tag.”
- “The control scheme and gameplay are simple, but it still takes a certain amount of skill, focus, and strategy to not blow up.”
- “The gameplay seems much easier.”
- “The gameplay itself feels slow; the way to control the tanks makes the game feel laggy. Controlling two tanks at once in a game where bullets can't be dodged just doesn't feel right. I would make sure I want this game before spending money on it.”
- “It looked decent, but there hardly is any gameplay in this one.”
- “Old-school arcade style progression; play until you die and enter your initials via the high score table. Though the 'continue' feature lets you resume where you'd left off, score intact, the gameplay is not great.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered decent, with some users appreciating the retro 16-bit style reminiscent of older games.

While the graphics are acceptable for the game's genre, they are not standout and may disappoint players seeking higher quality visuals.
- “But that's just one of the game's many, many plusses - the background music is equally impressive and the graphics feel reminiscent of the older games I used to play, which I love.”
- “The graphics are decent and the sound too.”
- “Poor graphics (although they do boast it as a 16-bit retro game).”
- “The sounds and graphics for the game are okay for the type of game; there are much worse out there.”
