The game's story and mission design receive mixed reviews, with players appreciating the immersive tank crew experience and the variety of campaign and side missions, but expressing disappointment over the limited number of missions and AI performance. While the missions are described as challenging and engaging, some players find the mission structure to be too linear and plagued by bugs that hinder gameplay. Overall, the narrative aspect is seen as decent but lacking depth, with a desire for more content and improved optimization.
- “A story about a small team of five developers from Poland working with minimal funding and a strict budget decided to stick with their game instead of abandoning it, something that has become all too common these days.”
- “But the battles feel alive, you got clear goals, missions (especially the campaign missions) are quite an undertaking with several missions, fights against tanks and infantry and AT weapons.”
- “The campaign missions where you have to account for damaged vehicles and killed support infantry make it a challenge, especially with dumb AI infantry.”
- “This is a story about how not to release a game.”
- “It's also a story about a financier and publisher (Playway) who ended their partnership literally overnight, demanding that the developers reimburse them for said funding.”
- “From the first mission I experienced, it seems that the game has outstandingly poor optimization and unfortunately a lack of direction.”

While the core gameplay has potential, it requires further refinement and optimization to reach its full promise.

- “The overall gameplay feels nice and immersive with the fact that you have to actually repair and maintain your vehicles.”

- “Gameplay is horrible.”
