The game's story is centered around a tactical simulation of WWII battles, particularly in North Africa, where players are encouraged to issue high-level commands rather than micromanage every detail. While some players appreciate the depth and realism of the gameplay, others find the tutorial and user interface confusing, leading to frustration. Overall, the narrative experience is seen as engaging for fans of war simulations, though it may not cater to everyone due to its complexity and non-intuitive design.
- “It's definitely not for everyone, but if you're into war simulations like Combat Mission or even some of the more conventional turn-based games like Strategic Command, you'll find this game provides a deep and engaging simulation of WWII battles across North Africa. It's been out a while and it's often steeply discounted, so I recommend looking out for sales.”
- “The truth is you can play/replay the vanilla missions in the main title over and over and never feel like you wasted your money.”
- “In fact, the map size and the lack of intel on the enemy means you have to do realistic things like keep a reserve - something that's not really needed in Combat Mission.”
- “I played the 'basic training' multiple times and passed, but I had no idea why or what on earth was going on during the mission.”
- “Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943 is otherwise a decent tactical level combat mission style game ruined by a completely non-intuitive user interface.”
- “Don't waste your time with this game, just play Graviteam Tactics or any of the WWII Combat Mission games.”

While it shares similarities with its predecessor, "Graviteam Tactics: Mius Front," players may find the gameplay rewarding once they overcome initial hurdles.
- “Very solid gameplay.”
- “It's got excellent effects, cool mechanics, decent visuals, and attention to detail that I can provide great kudos to.”
- “Watching a tank round fly 2,000 yards in a couple of seconds and smash into an enemy on the far side of a valley makes for immersive and highly realistic gameplay.”
- “The UI is unintuitive and the gameplay is boring as hell.”
- “There is a game somewhere there, but it is hidden in possibly the worst game mechanics of any game.”
- “I really don't have a problem investing time in a game to better learn its mechanics, but this game really does nothing to assist the player from the outset.”

- “Graphics are a bit dated and the controls are a bit funky to learn, but once you get past all that, you have a great bn level wargame.”
- “Within those three graphical settings, they listed precisely what each one did or did not have; is it too much to ask that they just let me choose which of those I'd rather keep myself?”
