The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some users finding them dated and unappealing, while others appreciate the detailed modeling of the Panzer war tanks. Despite criticisms regarding the overall visual quality and limited content, a few players note that the graphics are decent for the game's price and genre. Overall, there is a consensus that improvements are needed to enhance the graphical experience.
- “Quite nice visuals.”
- “The graphics, I think, are nice - and the AI is decent enough for a start.”
- “Panzer war tanks are beautifully modeled and make up for the dated and average battlefield graphics.”
- “Maybe I played the wrong game as the graphics don't look anything like the screenshots.”
- “I don't know how to update this on Mac, so I'm stuck on the version with only 4 tanks and mediocre graphics.”
gameplay
7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
57% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions
The gameplay of the game is praised for its potential, satisfying combat, and enjoyable sandbox experience, with players appreciating the variety of modes and customization options available. However, some users criticize the mechanics as clunky and generic, noting issues with map design and controls that detract from the overall experience. Despite these mixed reviews, many find the game rewarding and worth the investment, highlighting its unique features and regular updates.
- “The simplicity of the gameplay, the rhythmic loop of picking vehicles and jumping into matches, the updates are what keep me coming back; they’re random, exciting, and feel like gifts.”
- “The rewarding gameplay and satisfying combat definitely make it a must-have for virtual tankers.”
- “Holy grail of tank games on Steam has amazing potential, good mods (still very good game even without them), nice updates, good mechanics, and gameplay.”
- “Since nothing but mediocre mechanics, maps that have an absolutely generic feel with no design direction, clunky controls that still haven't been improved, gameplay that is still generic and clunky, dumb AI, etc. The addition of Panzer War, which feels like a mobile game, doesn't help either. Overall, this entire thing is badly designed from the get-go.”
grinding
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions
Players appreciate the lack of grinding in this game, contrasting it favorably with titles like War Thunder, which are often criticized for their grindy mechanics. The consensus is that this game offers a more straightforward experience without the need for extensive grinding, making it accessible and enjoyable for all players.
- “I bought it because War Thunder is way too grindy.”
- “Well, about this game, in my opinion: this is a good tank game without any grinding, competitive or any 'wow' player.”
optimization
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions
Overall, the game's optimization is generally praised for its smooth performance, though some users suggest improvements in customization options and the inclusion of more modern tanks with realistic features. However, there are criticisms regarding a lack of coherent asset integration, indicating that some elements feel poorly optimized.
- “The game is optimized pretty well and runs smoothly.”
- “He is clearly taking assets from everywhere and smashing them together here without any sense or optimization in mind.”
- “If I may give a humble suggestion, more modern tanks (like Leclerc, Black Panther, M1A2C, etc.) would be welcome, with realistic features about protection, fire control, ammunition performance, etc. Also, more options to create and modify customized machines in the 'tank workshop,' which are currently somewhat limited.”
music
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
The music in the game is generally well-received, though some players suggest that the American Civil War background music can be overwhelming and may need to be adjusted. Additionally, there are requests for more diverse soundtracks in specific areas, as well as features to enhance the audio experience, such as automatic voice line matching and improved sound settings.
- “The sound is great, although you'll probably want to turn down the American Civil War music (called background sound in the menu).”
- “The only things missing from the game, in my opinion: soundtracks for the hangar and battle timer; also a button that would automatically match every tank you pick with the appropriate voice line; and a filter to separate 'module' and 'non-module' vehicles... and more maps!”
- “Just only both sound/music to turn on/off in the settings.”
humor
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
The humor in the game is characterized by its "funny bad" elements, including amusingly derpy tanks and quirky mod installations that create a lighthearted experience. Players find the comedic aspects enjoyable, contributing to the overall fun of the game.
- “The mod installer is also funny, considering there are mods I see on the mobile version of the game that I'm not seeing in the PC version.”
- “Great, fun game with funny, derpy tanks and fast tanks. I do recommend it.”
stability
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

- “Whenever I try to open the tank workshop, the game immediately freezes on the art of Tiger 131 and Tiger 132 and won't finish loading.”
- “It still seems buggy; the graphics are nice, but the game is in need of a lot more content and stability.”
- “The game has promise and is unique with its subject being WW1 tanks, but it currently only has a skirmish mode and one small map.”
replayability
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

monetization
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with users labeling it a "cash grab" that fails to deliver on its promises, lacks proper localization, and offers no meaningful progression. Players recommend alternative games instead, indicating dissatisfaction with the overall value and experience.
- “Don't buy this piece of crap. You can't do what it shows in the pictures/videos. It's not translated properly, and even the stuff that is translated is poorly done (spam becomes span, and in the options it's not enabled/disabled, it's open/closed instead). They did not take this seriously; it's a cash grab, and there is no progression in it like with other games, making it boring as hell. I also saw the servers are only in China and did not try it since I wanted to see the base game first.”
- “TL;DR: Cash grab that sucks. Just play either War Thunder, World of Tanks, or even the Roblox game Cursed Tank Simulator; it's better.”
