TankZone Battle Reviews

It has potential, but as it stands, not very exciting. Pros: Decent grahpics Decent gameplay Cons: Still a little glitchy, tanks randomly disappear then re-appear Not very many players No Campaign Lacks a line of sight (LOS) type system

Fun, simple tank game. Fast and fluid mechanics and the kind of game you can play after a long day at work. The graphics look nice and I really enjoy playing this. Battles are short and hectic. If there were more maps it would be even better. Still, for such a low price it is an excellent buy. 8/10

Great game similar counter strike. But with tanks. For price in sale is good buy. With 88mm canon is lot of fun. You need to aim good and need more time to reload ammo. It's crazy fun sometimes :-D

The game is great fun! The online skirmishes are really tense. Very easy to control. I use a XONE controller. In TankZone Battle you have to distance and target movement into account, and fire where the 'target is moving to' combined with the travel time of your projectile. Think of this as an arcade game using WWII-like tanks. What I would like to see: - larger maps with more open space between buildings etc. :) I'm a sloppy driver. - When you turn the tank (hull) the turret should move with it. As it is now, the turret stays in the same place, which is the same as the turret being moved the other way.

Ok.. played for about 2 hours.. solo duel and 4vs4... Overall a fun game, but inches to maneuver as there are water traps all over. Athough this does to increasae the challenge for maneuvering it is also a bit aggrivating as often foilage and buildings block your view of water right behind a corner or bush that is covering a drop off. The range of weapons is very cool.. although I have not figured out how much effect the added camo has (branches and foilage stuff all over your tank) in terms of avoiding enemy AI fire, or how to use the mines. Also when your zapped and in the "spectator mode" it would be nice to be able to have a high vantage point and be able to jump tank to tank, maybe even take over another tank in your AI team. I would recommend adding a few maps with less water traps though, or mabye less chance to go in the drink in easy mode. Also, the AI is very good at making wicked shots.. which I think should be watered down slightly in the easy mode. Bottom line, a cool simple quick and dirty 3rd person tank combat.. with a good range of maps and nice sound effects and graphics. Kind of like a 3rd person "Battle Zone" type of personality using hover tanks for a dirt cheap price. Thanks

The PC version of this game is quite frustrating. It's a straight-forward, fun game - undeniably. But, it's ported from an app and it suffers as such. It requires far higher computing resources than such a lightweight program should ever demand. Framerates should be through the roof on even the most modest equipment but that's not the case. And, there are precious few settings options to help improve performance or control. Video options are limited to only resolution and low/medium/high graphics quality. The worst are the controls. Standard keyboard left/right/forward/back (A/D/W/S) with mouse turret are offered and that is IT. You cannot customize a single key. Worse, however, is that the control's don't remain consistent. While moving forward, left and right work normally. But, if you come to a stop, they reverse. Left turns right and right turns left. This is because it changes lateral behavior when you go into reverse and it does this as soon as you come to a stop. Add to this that the tank model is very cartoonish and at times it's difficult to tell the front end from the back in the heat of battle, causing mismovement, distraction from any engagement and, ultimately, frustration. Lastly, while you're focused on aiming at the enemy and battling with the controls, don't run into a wall or a building or a tree too fast because you will flip your tank over and explode. Seriously. Now, despite all of that, I still have to say that this is one damn fun game and it's simplicity helps it shine. It just seems that with a very small amount of additional work it could be top-notch. The tank mechanics are good, the graphics look good, play action is really fun but it can be a very frustrating experience.

Loads of fun when you play with another person. Teamwork is crucial and really determines the outcome of the battle. All barrel options have their own strengths and weaknesses but all have a purpose. Really well balanced. Highly suggest!

Recommended because graphically, it looks gorgeous. However, I am somewhat mixed on it. Even on 1v1 in "Normal" mode, the computer AI is very good and knows where you are straight away, which does make it somewhat frustrating (and not in a funny or a good way), and then reduces the dynamic to a battle of "who can fire faster and has a better gun". The element of surprise or hiding seemed to be completely lost, it was like the AI had X-Ray vision and was able to find ridiculous angles through the holes in the covering walls every time. Versus a human player, I would expect very different results and a more balanced match. Some information on what the controls are would have been nice, maybe a tutorial as to how to aim the gun (red crosshair vs green crosshair ?!), distance to fire vs damage and reload speed etc. and how gun dynamics can affect a battle (as per my point above...a gun with a slower reload that does more damage can be offset versus a smaller gun that reloads faster, meaning that 'anyone can win' if they are skilful enough, it doesn't degenerate into a one sided match versus the AI). Also, basic information on whether or not 'real life' applies, as in, a tank's armour is traditionally less at the rear, so does that apply here ? Like Kelly's Heroes..."If you're gonna shoot a Tiger Tank, aim at it's @55" Good concept, but it needs some work on it, I'd like to see some refinement / add ons, e.g. a faster tank or ways to increase speed, different camera angles (first person etc.). I'm going to try it again versus as many PC opponents as I can, hopefully I might even have some bots to help me on my side if I do that.

Now that it's a standard 4$, it's the best money you'll spend in a while. The game plays exactly like in the video. It's fast, fluid, and is a hell of a lot of fun to play. I guess the simplicity is where it lies, and that everyone is on the same playing field at the start of a game. Being almost 30, and having friends between 20's and late 30's who all loved this game, I don't know who wouldn't like it. The only problem is it's a very unknown game at the moment, and it needs players to spread the word. I'd give it an 8/10 for what it offers. The gameplay is very solid, it just needs more content and it would be exponentially better. If you buy this game, PLEASE review it and share your thoughts, and tell your friends. Even if you don't like it!

For a game that cost me £1.49 I have to say I have had some fun with this. Two teams of up to 4 players each, played in rounds, 6 maps to play on, first team to win 8 rounds. Each round you can upgrade your tank with a bigger gun with the money you earnt in the last round, and buy other stuff like camo and mines. Graphically it doesn't look too bad, and the sound is OK too. It lacks options, and the UI isn't very pretty. Very small playerbase, <10 every time I've logged in, but has always been enough players to play at least a 2v2. With that said, if you are looking for a cheap and cheerful multiplayer game with tanks played on a small arena battlefield, you really can't go wrong with this. Recommended, so long as people are playing.
