“Gameplay is a huge improvement and evolution of the Wii Play tanks minigame.”
“The gameplay is great just like the original, and the added features are appreciated.”
“From all new levels and mechanics to a totally fleshed out level designer, this game is truly the epitome of spin-offs.”
“We like the actual gameplay and are fans since the Wii Play version, but your menus are horrendous and do not work well with the controller.”
“The system I tried on was Steam Deck, and a prominent issue seems to be scrolling through things, like the audio, gameplay options, and selecting mark as read.”
“A small thing is in gameplay, where you have to completely swing your analog stick to the side to aim for the tank rather than be able to make minor adjustments.”
