Judgement: Not Recommended

View review on Steam

I got a beta key, and I can't recommend this game for many reasons:
-Based on playing through all levels that unlocked the first gate to access more areas, it is possible to go all the way to the end of every level without killing any other tanks. The exception are levels that have a boss, which must be defeated before the gate to the end teleporter unlocks.
-After unlocking the first gate between areas, I assumed that would've earned a Steam achievement of completing the first "chapter", but I didn't get one.
-Levels were not varied between the two different areas I explored.
-Enemies were not varied between the two different areas I explored.
-Repetitive gameplay. Might be okay for young kids that can use a controller, or might bore them real quickly.
+The varied selection of tanks is alright with different stats for each that are either balanced or are intended to be for different difficulties.
-Bombs are useless, as they're more like timed mines that are just dropped, and they don't appear to have any blast radius unless there are multiple tanks literally right next to each other.
?Tank controls using a controller was fine, as for the menu though...
-Could not disable vsync from Graphics settings, because it would toggle off and on with a single button press
-I sometimes got stuck on the tank purchase/selection screen and couldn't back out to the main menu
-When destroying an enemy, there was stuttering. HWiNFO only showed 25% peak GPU load on my RTX 3080, but my 5600X CPU usage got to 80%. So the game may not be CPU optimized.
