The story aspect of the game features a diverse array of armies and missions, though the missions themselves lack historical simulation and focus more on gameplay challenges. Players engage in defensive missions, such as protecting a crossroads, which can be enjoyable but may require repetitive attempts if failed, as there is no option to progress in the campaign without completing them. Overall, while the mission design is praised, the narrative context feels secondary to the gameplay mechanics.
- “The more I play tank battle games, the more I admire their craft at mission design.”
- “One mission requires the Polish army to defend a crossroads until German reinforcements make the position hopeless.”
- “For instance, I finished the Polish missions, which are all defensive in nature.”
- “None of the missions really simulate historical situations, but they do give a feel for them.”
- “Another thing that I didn't care for was the fact that if you lose a mission, you have to replay it, rather than moving on in the campaign.”
- “For instance, I finished the Polish missions which are all defensive in nature.”

The gameplay of the game is likened to a budget version of Panzer Corps or Panzer General, featuring simplified mechanics and a lack of depth, with small maps and easy levels. While the gameplay can be enjoyable once the mechanics are understood, the tutorial is considered plain and insufficiently informative. Overall, the game offers a fun experience but falls short in complexity and challenge.
- “After playing through one of the nine campaigns and the tutorial, as well as Panzer Corps, I can safely say that Tank Battle is very much like a budget version of Panzer Corps/Panzer General, with simplified mechanics.”
- “The graphics are adequate, and once you understand the mechanics, you don't really need the help screens except to check up on the units.”
- “It could be brilliant, and the gameplay is actually quite fun, but the maps are so ridiculously small, the levels so stupidly easy, and there's absolutely no depth to it.”
- “After playing through 1 of the 9 campaigns and the tutorial, as well as Panzer Corps, I can safely say that Tank Battle is very much like a budget version of Panzer Corps/Panzer General, with simplified mechanics.”
- “The attack mechanics are simplified, and there are no replacement and resupply.”
- “The tutorial is there, but it's a bit plain, and mechanics are not explained well.”
