Reviews
- The game is a nostalgic HD remaster of the classic 'Battle Tank', bringing back fond childhood memories for many players.
- The 2-player mode is particularly enjoyable, allowing players to create and save their own levels, enhancing the fun and replayability.
- It's a fun, family-friendly game that is accessible to all ages and is now free to play, making it easy for anyone to enjoy.
- The game lacks variety as levels tend to repeat after completion, leading to a quick loss of interest.
- Some gameplay mechanics, like over-boosted tanks and unlimited lives through Counterattack, detract from the original challenge and spirit of the classic game.
- Movement controls feel clunky compared to the original, making it difficult to navigate corners effectively.

The gameplay is criticized for mechanics that undermine the classic tank experience, where players must remain vigilant, as even a single kill can reset them to a basic tank. Additionally, a once-promising mechanic became overused, ultimately detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“This mechanic destroys the feeling of classic tanks, where you have to be aware and careful all the time. Even when you have the best tank, one kill can take you out, and you respawn as a basic tank.”
