Pay to win
     
by Bruh200XD · May 8, 2023

Pocket tanks is my favorite game and I have a lot of fun playing online and with friends. But I have to take away a star because it is pay to win. You can buy weapon packs in the game and it’s not like they’re at least balanced. They are very overpowered weapons. Every time I go against someone that owns them I forfeit because I don’t even stand a chance because their score will be over 1,000 while mine is 300. There’s this one guy named bigvally who I hate playing against the most. I hate this guy with a passion just because of his stupid weapons it’s Just unfair. How is this gam even fun for you if you’re guaranteed the win?

Almost Scratches that Nostalgia Itch

For those of us who played the original Scorched Earth in 1991, Pocket Tanks Deluxe is a heart-felt and (mostly) faithful tribute to that classic, and there are some genuinely clever weapons and gadgets included.<br/><br/>There are, however, some design decisions or technical limitations that prevent this game from taking the title of &quot;Mother of All Games&quot;: namely, the restriction of only ever having one opponent available. Gone are the days of wild 10-player carnage, and impromptu alliances and betrayals and while it may have been difficult to implement additional players when Pocket Tanks was first developed, in the 20 years since, other more recent &quot;Scorch-likes&quot; have upped the player counts as technology improved. <br/><br/> Even if multiple opponents were added to the Vs AI or Local Play modes only, this game would remain on my device for years to come. As it stands, it's a nice but fleeting reminder of those days of DOS, long gone by.

Can’t play anymore

This game is so fun but now you can’t get past the loading screen, the game is now unplayable, hopefully this is fixed.

I can’t play this game anymore

It’s a fun game but unfortunately my game can’t load. Can you help find out why this game can’t load and help it work again?

Ech.

How do you mess up a game this simple. They keep adding more purchases instead of more accessible features. Another paywalled pay to win. For this simple game. Wow.

Decent game but
     
by Codeman36832689 · July 7, 2022

It’s a decent game but how the computer is so accurate even at level 1 I don’t know. They are alway dead on or just off from dead on every shot, even if you move, doesn’t help. Playing level 1 is like level 10. No difference.

Would buy again, after buying the game a second time

(1/9/23) <br/>Most people might look at the seemingly older art style n “simplistic” UI/controls and shrug this game off..but there’s so much history behind it. So many nights as a kid staying up quietly passing the phone to your best friend in 2P battling trying to not wake anyone in the house. The excitement of a new weapon pack dropping n testing new projectiles over and over again. <br/>Pocket Tanks is the perfect example of being able to have the most fun in a (PC but admittedly more phone based) game without mind boggling complicated game mechanics, stories, etc. I recently recalled this game from my past and I was beyond excited to see the developers still continuing to update the game after (if memory stands correct) over two decades!! <br/>I am excited to see this games future. Nothing more exciting than seeing new weapons to test, but the ability to play with more people would be a game changer (maybe up to four at a time {teams..?}). As well as new terrain styles and increased map sizing for longer range battles would be incredibly. Props and a chefs kiss to the developers of one of my favorite childhood games that I will forever come back to that I recommend to ANYONE who likes playing phone games . 🖤<br/><br/>TL;DR <br/><br/>you got a tank on one side, you got a tank on the other. V A S T and incredibly fun weapon selection of different varieties to shoot at your adversary. randomized terrain and wind variables to increase skill based artillery. unreasonably fun and “easy to learn, fun to master” mechanics and gameplay. Developers that actually care. Highly recommend

Set difficulty at 1 and you get a direct hit from computer every time… on there first try… it seems like developers didn’t even try the updates…
