The graphics of the game are highly praised for their standout art style and attention to detail, such as realistic dust clouds and a variety of aesthetic options ranging from wacky anime to more realistic visuals. While some minor graphical glitches and bugs exist, they do not significantly detract from the overall experience, which is described as visually impressive and engaging. Overall, the game's graphics contribute positively to its fast-paced gameplay and immersive atmosphere.
“Game is simple but the graphics really stand out; like in desert warfare, you even leave big dust clouds that linger.”
“There's a wide range of units to play with (including helicopters!) and depending on your personal preferences, you can play full-blown wacky anime arcade or swap the settings for a more realistic aesthetic.”
“I'm stunned that more people haven't heard about this game, so I'm going to try and spread the news about this, because this is the first tank game in a long time I can say plays absolutely flawlessly, fast and quick combat, a great soundtrack, and amazing graphics; what more could you ask from a game like this?”
“There are still some smaller bugs present (like your aiming reticle 'snapping' to edges, graphical glitches, wonky ballistics, etc) but these did not detract from the experience, in my opinion.”
“It's slightly anime - you can have your crew voiced by Japanese girls, there are anime graphics settings.”

Players find the initial grinding experience frustrating due to the weak starting tanks, which can lead to a lack of enjoyment in early levels. However, purchasing tank expansions can provide a shortcut to better vehicles, making the grind more manageable, especially when aiming for superior tanks like the T-90A.
“Grinding through the early levels is frustrating because your first tank is weak and can be easily destroyed. It makes the initial experience less enjoyable, and the only real solution is to buy the tank expansion to access better options.”
“The grind feels unnecessary when the first tanks are so underwhelming. You can either struggle through the early game or pay to unlock better tanks, which feels like a paywall that detracts from the overall experience.”
“It's disappointing that the game forces you to grind through subpar tanks just to reach the better ones. The initial gameplay is not engaging, and it feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
