The game has a lot of potential with its ambitious mechanics, allowing players to gather resources, build bases, and engage in tactical warfare, which can lead to memorable moments when the servers are populated.
Despite its flaws, many players find the gameplay enjoyable and worth the low price, especially for fans of WWII-themed games who appreciate the crafting and survival elements.

The player base is critically low, making it difficult to find full servers, which significantly detracts from the overall experience and leaves players feeling isolated during gameplay.

Many players express frustration over the lack of developer support and updates, leading to concerns that the game may be abandoned, similar to its predecessor.

stability

The stability of the game is currently a significant issue, with players reporting numerous bugs, including problematic tank movement, poor hitbox detection, and general gameplay glitches. While the game shows promise, its early access status has led to frustrations over unresponsive developers and persistent technical problems, making it difficult for players to fully enjoy the experience. Overall, many recommend waiting for improvements before purchasing.
- “To start with, tank gameplay is quite raw and needs total rework: the movement is buggy, you can’t even turn the tank properly.”
- “It's not really worth it; it's quite buggy and the hitboxes are terrible. That's not just me shooting someone and missing; it's from the experience of having a long fight with a dude at close range, and neither of us being able to kill the other. We just ended up staying still and shooting at each other, and nobody got a hit. I'd say you shouldn't buy this for now. The game looks good, and if the developers are able to fix these problems, it will be a decent game.”
- “If the game is buggy, has hacks, and the devs are unresponsive or toxic, which seems to be the case in the forums, this is sad.”

- “Campaign mode where you fight against AI with a good story and objectives.”
- “The game is purely multiplayer, so there’s no campaign or storyline whatsoever.”
- “Since BR2 doesn’t feature any kind of storyline, let’s just make a straight jump to the gameplay.”

The monetization of the game is criticized as a cash grab, with users expressing disappointment over abandoned support and a lack of meaningful updates, such as new maps and improved AI. Players suggest that the game feels like a quick money-making scheme rather than a fully developed product, with some recommending a free alternative instead.
- “Just another EA cash grab.”
- “All support is abandoned; it was a quick cash grab game. They are already making another game with almost the same assets. It's sad to see the potential wasted. P.S. If you want to play a bit, maybe try Battlerush 1 as it's free.”
