What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
War Thunder offers engaging military vehicle combat with depth that appeals to dedicated players, but the game is heavily criticized for its extreme grind and aggressive monetization that pressures players toward premium purchases. The experience is polarizing: some find it rewarding for those willing to invest significant time and money, while others feel the progression is designed more to extract spending than provide enjoyment, with additional frustrations around account management and the launcher requirement.
Ok, so warthunder. Probably one of [b]The[/b] games of all time for me, Now while i dont play much anymore, the Snail will always have a place in my heart. And i will always contiinue to play in small amounts for as long as i live. Both a 10/10 game and a 0/10 game. Would recommend to those who want to commit to the grind and have [b]ALOT[/b] of spare time likewise intereted in learning a very complex game.
Sure. It's fun.
grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,grind,Then get jets and have fun
So I've sunk enough time and money into this game to start a successful company by now. (it doesnt show up on steam as i did in in the gaijin launcher version) absolutely do not play this game. I can count the number of times i have genuinely had fun in this game on one hand. It lures you in with the promise of badass military vehicles, but good luck getting them without coughing up the money for premium, and then having absolutely no fun in the battles. even with premium, it still takes a painfully long time even to get to the first tier of jets. This isnt a game meant for you to enjoy, its for Gaijin to make money. unless you have thousands of dollars your willing to give to a greedy corporation in exchange for vehicles that get instantly deleted in battle, dont play this game.
good game i love it its real and its free
wanted to play using an existing account, sadly they force you to use their own launcher if you want sign into an account under them and there is no way to link an account once one is already made. its sad that they have it like this and I was actually intrested in playing the game. I shouldnt have to download the game via their downloader just to sign into an account.
