graphics2 positive mentions
  • Easy to learn and quick tactical World War II hex-based strategy gameplay with a variety of scenarios and campaigns.
  • Features a wide array of historical unit types and factions, offering enjoyable strategic combat reminiscent of classic wargames.
  • Game developer is responsive to feedback and provides additional scenarios with a decent tutorial and zoom features.
  • Graphics are outdated and blocky, with a user interface that is not very user-friendly or informative.
  • Scenario balance issues, with some missions being overly difficult or frustrating and the RNG significantly affecting outcomes.
  • Lacks depth, historical accuracy, morale and strategic factors, and replay value; often compared unfavorably to better-known titles and noted as a simplified or budget alternative.

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect offers a wide variety of armies and missions that provide a general feel of historical scenarios, primarily focusing on defensive and challenging objectives. However, the missions do not strictly simulate historical events, and the requirement to replay missions upon failure rather than progressing can be frustrating. Overall, the mission design is appreciated for its challenge but lacks narrative depth.

    • “This edition contains the widest variety of armies and missions so far, offering diverse gameplay experiences.”
    • “The new missions provide challenging and engaging goals, such as defending key positions until reinforcements arrive.”
    • “While the missions may not simulate historical situations exactly, they effectively convey the overall feel and atmosphere of the scenarios.”
    • “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.”
    • “One mission requires the Polish army to defend a crossroads until German reinforcements make the position hopeless.”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this game is a simplified, budget version of Panzer Corps/Panzer General, with basic attack mechanics and no replacement or resupply features. While the gameplay can be enjoyable once mechanics are understood, the tutorial is lackluster, maps are very small, levels are overly easy, and the overall depth is lacking.

    • “After playing through 1 of the 9 campaigns and the tutorial, and Panzer Corps as well, 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.”
    • “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, 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 or resupply features.”
    • “The tutorial is present but rather plain, and the mechanics are not explained well.”

  • graphics

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are retro and somewhat blocky, reminiscent of the 90s, but adequate for gameplay. Unit visuals are praised for being excellent and polished, contributing positively to the overall presentation.

    • “Unit graphics, music, & sound ... excellent & polished”
    • “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.”
    • “Graphics are blocky enough to be from the 90's.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is excellent and polished, effectively complementing each battle to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Unit graphics, music, & sound are excellent and polished.”
    • “I also like how the music in the game fits each battle you play.”
