The gameplay features a variety of weapons and vehicles, offering a nostalgic experience reminiscent of classic shooters, though some mechanics can feel clunky and unintuitive at times. While the AI is basic and certain elements may become repetitive, the overall experience is enjoyable and accessible, with a mix of mission styles that add depth.
“First thoughts were that it took me right back to the old days playing Time Crisis on the PS1, though a bit more forgiving (which is a good thing!), and with a heap of extra fun new layers of gameplay with different weapons, different vehicles, and an interesting mix of different mission styles.”
“Very cool mechanic.”
“Gameplay is good - it started to feel somewhat repetitive for about a minute at the end of the first mission, but it wasn't a deal breaker.”
“Overall, the game is clunky and a bit rough in some parts. While it works and is fun for the most part, it feels rough around the edges. Some mechanics are a bit weird and awkward to use, and the AI is basic with only a few different enemies, but it's easy to pick up.”
“You get to fire machine guns, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and snipers, but I didn't like the mechanics of this. While the controls don't feel all that intuitive at times, you get the hang of them pretty quickly.”

The story offers players a choice between two distinct mission paths, each providing a unique gameplay experience centered around tank warfare and various mission styles. While reminiscent of classic arcade shooters, the narrative incorporates modern elements and diverse weaponry, enhancing engagement despite some moments of repetition. Overall, the missions are designed to evoke nostalgia while introducing fresh challenges.
“You can choose between two different mission paths, so like two campaigns. One is always onboard a tank where you can switch between the main weapon with a machine gun view from inside the tank, or go man the external turret.”
“First thoughts were that it took me right back to the old days playing Time Crisis on the PS1, though a bit more forgiving (which is a good thing!), and with a heap of extra fun new layers of gameplay with different weapons, different vehicles, and an interesting mix of different mission styles.”

“The story feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters or the overall narrative.”
“The missions are too linear and predictable, which detracts from the potential for a more engaging storyline.”
“While the gameplay mechanics are solid, the story fails to provide a compelling backdrop, leaving players wanting more substance.”
