The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which often feel intrusive and necessary for progression. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game leans heavily on this model, making it feel like a cash grab.

“Solid visual design and fun gameplay; Tank Hero is a great game for the phone!”
“Decent gameplay but it gets extremely repetitive.”

Overall, players find the game excessively grindy, particularly in later levels where progression becomes tedious and often requires significant time investment or real money to advance. Many reviews highlight a steep difficulty curve that exacerbates the grinding experience, making it feel more like a chore than enjoyable gameplay. While some appreciate the initial fun and challenge, the overwhelming consensus is that the game demands too much grinding, leading to frustration and a sense of repetitiveness.
“If I tried to beat the campaign, I'd probably be grinding for a year, no exaggeration.”
“The one issue I have is that it has a very steep difficulty curve that makes it hard to go through later levels without either grinding like crazy or spending money.”
“This game is too grindy and needs a high internet connection.”

“No forced ads, just optimal ones for bonuses, and runs great.”
“I seen no glitches.”
“The game freezes a couple of seconds in, connection keeps breaking once in a while, and the worst part is after clicking achievements, the reward animation won't pop up and I don't get my reward.”

“Following the last update, the game freezes a lot during loading (island) and crashes or freezes after every other ad.”

The game's story aspect is criticized for lacking a main narrative or clear objectives, with many players feeling that it relies heavily on a pay-to-win model. While some enjoy the gameplay and find it reminiscent of other titles like Archero, the absence of cooperative story missions and a rewarding progression system detracts from the overall experience. Recent updates have introduced new mission types, but players still express a desire for more engaging content and better rewards.
“Game is awesome but could you please add co-op with friends to complete story missions with friends.”
“5 star would recommend the bad reviews are mostly lies; a single-player story like the game Archero and it is pretty nice and easy.”
“New patch added raid-type missions which I find nice.”
“And beyond beating levels, there are truly no missions.”
“The reward system is a fraud; there is no main story or goal, and it feels pay-to-win.”

“It is a nice time killer game...graphics are great...though no sound during battles...but still a nice game for me. Edit: there is now background music during battles when I updated the game.”
“Maybe have 2 sound options as well, one for music and one for gameplay.”
“Also, the game has no music while you're playing a level, which makes the experience even worse.”
“My only issue is not being able to shut off the music volume (even after turning it off, it comes back on).”
“Can't mute music, only sound effects.”
