What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate Gratuitous Tank Battles as an affordable time-killer with decent customization options and replayability for the price, but many find the core gameplay repetitive and tedious. Common criticisms include excessive micromanagement, a cumbersome UI, lack of meaningful strategic depth despite surface complexity, and the feeling that unit variety doesn't significantly differentiate levels. Some enjoy the straightforward tower defense experience and attacker/defender flexibility, while others feel the game requires excessive theorycrafting without delivering engaging strategic choi
I beat the game by always choosing most powerful part irreverent of cost. The game is just a "Send waves of heavy units and watch lead fly" game, and the td portion isnt much better. Not recommended, but was fine for a couple of hours. (two or three)3 found this helpful
Yes, good easy time killer. Not as in easy, just not hectic. Time shown doesn't include all time played.1 found this helpful
As enjoyable struggles for supremacy are, the challenge within Gratuitous Tank Battles is its push-pull combat wherein the player, whether they are defending a position or attacking a position, will need to be consistently flooding the battlefield with units as the enemy A.I. will be doing the same with unrestrained willingness. It matters little due to small differences in unit variety and customization, therefore each level is no different from the last except for level design and what units might be available to the attacker and defender. In truth, there was nothing special about this product for its time and that statement still holds today when you realize Gratuitous Space Battles does what Gratuitous Tank Battles does not.
Not recommended. Super tedious and micro heavy. A good polished game presents the player with interesting choices at every step. Playing this game is like studying for a university entrance exam. UI is very cumbersome. If I wanted to play this game properly I would have to enter numbers into excel for hours on end to find out what is good against what, what upgrades are better etc. etc. The game is just a huge pile of complexity and nothing else. I want my money back
Awesome Game! Awesome Price. Nice tower defense game where you can play the attacker or defender. Lots of customization. It took a tiny bit of effort to make it work (see discussions) but more than worth it. I wish it had key mapping , but having fun playing this one.
for 3 dollars this has a LOT of replayability and new things to unlock and make.
