Overall, the gameplay is described as fun and engaging, with many players appreciating the graphics and character customization. However, there are significant concerns regarding bugs, crashes, and balance issues, particularly with mechanics like auto-aim. While some players miss the old gameplay style, many enjoy the new features and events, indicating a mix of nostalgia and excitement for the game's evolution.
“The graphics are stunning, and the gameplay is both challenging and rewarding.”
“The new gameplay really keeps you playing, with so many changes that make the game more interesting. I really love the idea that they changed and added some of the old traditions like the guild war; it's really thrilling to play.”
“This game is fun and entertaining; you are able to get strong by spending time and effort to understand the gameplay, and it also provides a lot of events to keep the game active with continuous updates.”
“The mechanic of consecutive attacks destroys the balance.”
“I really prefer the old one where there was angle and force when shooting; it was much more fun to play with. Unlike now, which is easier, I think what the players love most in this game is the old vibes, the old DDTank gameplay.”
“Awful gameplay... the characters look like they have polio or something... controls and aiming are so disappointing... but overall a waste of time...”

The game's story is described as engaging and nostalgic, with players enjoying the colorful characters and missions that foster a sense of community and friendship. However, there are concerns about the repetitive nature of the content and the use of music from other games, which raises questions about copyright. Overall, while the missions and customization options are appreciated, players desire more variety and depth in the storyline to enhance long-term enjoyment.
“Hahaha, I'm the one player of this game on the website in PC. This game is so nice! I love this game because of the cute characters and exciting chat mates, guild wars, and the adventure of the story. I remember trying to get an angelic arm; it's so hard to be the last hit on the boss. Many attempts I will do for that thing, but actually, I got it after so many tries. Thanks for being my childhood! I rate 5 for this game, thank you.”
“The game was good and I have lots of friends because of this game. We're enjoying it and doing all the missions every single day.”
“I hope you make more events and PvE story mode to make it more enjoyable so that players will stay not just for a month or years, because the current modes are the same every day and that makes the game repetitive.”
“The entire soundtrack is stolen MapleStory songs.”
“Only complaint is that they're using songs from other games and I'm not sure if they have rights to them, for example, the Henesys MapleStory music by Nexon when this game is showing ranked tutorial.”
“We earned our own diamonds for doing quests and completing objectives yet we only have two dresses to choose from?”

“The entire soundtrack is stolen Maplestory songs.”

The monetization of the mobile version of the game has been criticized as a cash grab, with players feeling that in-game purchases create an unbalanced experience, allowing lower-level opponents to gain advantages through better weapons. While some users express nostalgia and enjoyment for the game, the reliance on microtransactions and the lack of in-game advertisements have led to frustration regarding its execution and fairness.
“And there are absolutely no advertisements in the game!”
“I lost my old account in DDTank, and there were a lot of microtransactions.”
“I would give it more stars, don't get me wrong, this was my favorite childhood game. However, this mobile version is just a very lazy, terribly made cash grab. Map spawns are terrible, and in some areas you're at a big disadvantage. You can also easily get one-hit killed by an opponent who's way lower level than you, but they bought a better weapon with their money.”
“A game purely depends on the player's skill and strategy, and DD Tank doesn't meet this criteria. It's very unbalanced due to in-game purchases and other stat enhancements.”
“I lost my old account in DD Tank, and there were a lot of microtransactions.”

The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players find it excessively time-consuming and not rewarding, others appreciate the long-term engagement it offers, especially for those who enjoy grind-heavy gameplay. Free-to-play gamers may feel disadvantaged due to the reliance on spending for character strength, but for dedicated players, the grind can be addictive and fulfilling.
“The content given isn't even worth grinding. At least in the PC version, you could actually grind daily and have no issues.”
“It's a good strategy game, but the strength of the character is greatly influenced by how much you can spend, and it would take up most of your time grinding as a free-to-play gamer, in my opinion.”
“Very good game, very long as well, which is good. It's that kind of game that requires a lot of grinding and takes a long time to get stronger, so if you like long, grindy type games that are fun, this is the game for you. Very addictive.”

“Please add optimization for the Asia server.”
“The game needs to be optimized because the screen freezes from time to time.”
