Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reception: players praise the tank feel, graphics and sound, but many find the enemy AI cheats, friendly AI is weak and the early access build feels unfinished.

Many players like how the tanks handle: shots feel weighty, damage reactions are convincing, and terrain such as hedges, bushes and buildings can be used for cover and ambushes. Graphics, sound and destructible scenery are often praised, and the mix of arcade and simulation appeals to fans of World of Tanks and War Thunder who want single-player missions. Many complaints centre on enemy AI that seems to see through foliage and walls and hits accurately from long range, while friendly tanks often drive poorly or get destroyed first. Some players also mention a limited amount of content, performance problems, a loud engine sound, and anger over locked missions and an early access paywall. Some recent reviews are more positive about AI improvements and updates than the older helpful reviews, which were harsher.

Praised

  • Tank handling and damage feel

    Players find the tanks heavy and convincing, with satisfying shots and reactions when hit.

    Many players
  • Terrain and ambush play

    Hedges, bushes, buildings and destructible cover reward slow, careful play and ambushes.

    Many players
  • Graphics and sound

    Reviewers call the visuals, effects and environments among the best in the genre.

    Many players
  • Arcade-sim balance

    The mix of accessible arcade play and realistic tank behaviour appeals to fans of World of Tanks and War Thunder.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Enemy AI sees through cover

    Enemies seem to spot and hit players through bushes, trees and walls, often before they can see the attacker.

    Many players
  • Weak friendly AI

    Allied tanks drive poorly, block the way, get destroyed first or stay out of the fight.

    Many players
  • Unfinished early access content

    Reviewers mention limited missions, few vehicles, bugs and a build they feel is not yet ready to buy.

    Many players
  • Locked content and pricing

    Players object to missions and skins locked behind a paid add-on during early access and to the price.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy single-player tank combat with careful positioning and do not mind rough edges during early access.
Who should skip it
Players who want a finished game, reliable AI teammates or a strict simulation should wait for later updates.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are mixed, while those with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend the game, mainly for the tank combat and the terrain.
