What players say

91% of 13,464 reviews are positive · 87% of 183 in the last 30 days

Players praise the creative freedom and mechanical depth of the tank builder, especially when making unusual vehicles and testing them in battle. The most common complaint is that recent major updates make the editor harder to use, break older designs, and introduce bugs or unexplained validation errors.
