The game's story is criticized for being tedious and lacking depth, with only 14 missions that feel reminiscent of later Call of Duty titles. Players report significant difficulty spikes between missions, game-breaking bugs, and frequent crashes that hinder progression, particularly in the single-player campaign. While some enjoy the mission structure and graphics, the overall narrative experience is marred by technical issues and a lack of meaningful rewards for completing missions.
“Well, I played this for a while and found it to be a very addictive game. If you love tanks as I do, then this game is right up your street. I found the graphics to be very good for this type of game, and I like the idea of completing missions to earn money and cards to build and improve your tanks.”
“Content-wise, the game offers 14 missions.”
“If this were an honest single-player/coop game with the option of playing online PvP, I would recommend it since I do enjoy the single-player missions.”
“Game-breaking bugs, frame drops, crashes, and an online mode that's all but dead; big mistake as it's the main draw of this game, as the rest of it is a throwaway campaign that's as tedious as one found in later COD titles that only goes for 14 missions.”
“After the campaign, the grind focus is on multiplayer; you can get credits on single-player missions and challenges, but they are a hassle.”
“As a result, the only way to progress after completing the missions is by doing dailies... and you can only do one of those every 24 hours.”

Although there are options to adjust resolution and settings, many feel the game does not meet modern graphical standards and lacks sufficient optimization. Overall, while some appreciate the nostalgic aesthetic, others are disappointed by the limited graphical capabilities and mobile-like interface.

The gameplay of the game is described as easy to learn and enjoyable, featuring a solid blend of mechanics reminiscent of World of Tanks and War Thunder, particularly praised for its unique spotting system. However, it suffers from coding issues, a lack of graphical options, and an inadequate vehicle damage simulation, leading to mixed feelings about its overall quality. While some players find it a decent arcade-style tank simulation, others criticize it for not living up to its promotional claims and having below-average gameplay.
“Easy to learn gameplay, not so hard to master; all you need to know is when to hide.”
“The tank customization is incredible, and the game mechanics are a satisfactory blend between World of Tanks and War Thunder.”
“The spotting mechanic is remarkable, as tanks are fully visible but name tags show when you actually look and spot them, unlike War Thunder where you can spot tanks in a huge radius, and unlike World of Tanks where tanks are invisible until you spot them.”
“Overall the game appears to be a ridiculous joke with lies in its description and awful servers and below average gameplay.”
“The spotting mechanic is remarkable, as tanks are fully visible but name tags show when you actually look and spot them, unlike War Thunder where you can spot tanks in a huge radius so stealth isn't an option, and unlike WoT where tanks are invisible until you spot them.”
“Really quite an alright game as long as you don't mind a few things which I will list now, won't really list any pros because the gameplay is generally pretty damn solid!”
