The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the detailed tank models and overall aesthetic, while others criticize the poor map design, low texture quality, and performance issues, including significant FPS drops even on high-end hardware. Many users feel that the graphics are mediocre compared to other titles in the genre, describing them as reminiscent of mobile games or outdated console graphics. Overall, while there are elements of charm and quality, the game's graphical performance and optimization leave much to be desired.
- “High quality graphics, detailed tank models, pretty good map design.”
- “I have to admit that the game looked good, graphically I liked it a lot, it has its charm, and I really enjoyed the physics.”
- “I think the tank graphics are well done and none of the silly stuff you see in Blitz, so for me that's a plus.”
- “I'm really wondering how they achieved this level of graphics while knowing nothing about gameplay programming or game design.”
- “Even with graphics down to minimum, its control inputs are so lagged that it's unplayable.”
- “Whether it is the graphic side, especially the maps, where the added map Opava appears like an environment of buildings made of cardboard boxes, the absence of almost any terrain irregularities (bridges, tunnels, etc.), everything is too clean, perfect angles, etc. At the beginning, a lot of things were promised, but the reality is... unfortunately quite different.”

- “Surprisingly solid gameplay with fair play in mind; it's like a free breath of air compared with other tank-themed games.”
- “Great game, good leveling, interesting and fast gameplay; you can level up pretty fast.”
- “Horrible mobile game UI, missing features (can't add friends or invite them), laggy gameplay, no balancing and the weirdest game design I've ever seen in a tank game.”
- “Frustrating gameplay – clunky controls, unstable physics, tanks feel sluggish and unpleasant to drive.”
- “As for the gameplay, it's a simple mobile game.”

The optimization of Panzerkampf has been widely criticized, with players reporting significant performance issues such as unstable frame rates, frequent stuttering, and numerous bugs. Many users feel that the game, built on Unity, fails to compete with similar titles like World of Tanks due to its poor optimization and outdated graphics, leading to a frustrating experience even on high-end systems. Without substantial updates to improve performance, the game risks losing its player base quickly.
- “Game is good, just needs to be optimized. I used to play Armored Aces when it came out; it was really fun.”
- “Poor optimization – unstable FPS even on good systems, frequent visual and collision bugs.”
- “It's an unoptimized, buggy, laggy piece of shit.”
- “Poor optimization – unstable fps even on good systems, frequent visual and collision bugs.”
- “The optimization... I know this is a Unity game and they tend to run badly (especially on HDRP), but come on, if you want to compete with giants like WoT and WT, you need to be at least close to their performance levels.”

The monetization in the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive microtransactions, with players expressing frustration over high prices for minimal content. Many view it as a cash grab, suggesting that the game would be better off with a one-time purchase price instead of the current model. Overall, the monetization strategy has left a negative impression, detracting from the game's potential.
- “Monetization implemented with insane prices in a game that is as barebones as a MS Paint canvas with some basic buttons in place, mind boggling.”
- “You're greeted with absolutely massive microtransactions (no way I'm paying €80 for a few bushes on my tiger).”
- “The worse (and more plausible) option is that this is only a cash grab, and in which case I hope it fails sooner than later.”
- “My best advice to the devs is to get rid of all microtransactions and charge $15 for the game.”

However, there are concerns regarding the absence of mid-tier tanks, which can lead to frustrating experiences as players may need to invest significant resources or grind alternative lines to progress effectively.
- “The tier IX Jagdtiger was added as part of update 0.0301, yet the mid-tiers from tier III up to tier VIII are nowhere to be found, making it impossible to climb the German TD line without spending an obscene amount of gold or grinding another tank line first.”
