Hit Tank PRO

[h1]This game was reviewed using a code sent by the developer.[/h1] Hit Tank PRO is a challenge mode based action strategy game, releasing on December 2nd 2015, by a single developer Bacq Stellan. Gameplay in Hit Tank PRO is set in a birds eye view of a small simple map, where you are in control of a single tank, and you have to destroy varying numbers of enemy tanks. Each of the maps are set out differently, some come with mazes, some have destructible objects, whilst others have a fog of war mechanic, leaving you in the lurch as to what you can see. Whilst the gameplay is very simple, it comes with a very addictive nature to it, and the higher levels can get really fast paced and hectic as the levels progressively get harder and more enemies that you have to deal with. I would really liked to have seen some sort of levelling process for your tank, or some sort of customizability, maybe to upgrade weapons or your armour, but the only sort of customizing you get, is changing the speed of your tank at the start of the game. You can obviously make your tank the fastest, but this will in turn give your score a handicap compared to if you didn’t make your tank faster. There are 60 levels in this game too, so quite a stack of levels to go at. Graphics are very basic, the top down view helps it a little here, but honestly the graphics are nothing to shout about. I was a little let down by the sprites of the tanks and the overall aesthetic of the game, it would have been nice to get some better looking maps to fight in. The sound effects are OK, however the music is weird…it sounds a bit like Wild West music, but in tanks? I don’t quite know how to explain it, something just didn’t sound right about the music in Hit Tank PRO. There are a varying amount of difficulties here, there are four difficulty settings, Easy, Normal, Medium (aren’t they the same?) and hard. Onto of these difficulty settings, you can also make the game harder or easier by changing the bullet speed, your hitbox size, and of course, your tank’s speed. This adds another layer of difficulty settings, allowing you to tweak how hard (or easy) the game is for you. I have been playing on Normal difficulty for about half an hour now, and I have managed to clear all sixty levels, that to me show that whilst there are a lot of levels, there isn’t anything really challenging unless you ramp up the difficulty settings to a higher level. You could probably get three or four hours of more content out of the game with varying levels of difficulty, but that’s about it. I sadly had a few annoying technical issues, one is that the game doesn’t use any direct x engine, so I was unable to capture any footage using Fraps. Secondly (and the most annoying) is the game doesn’t lock your cursor in its window, this is only really an issue for anyone with more than one screen – you’ll often find your cursor has wandered across to your other screens, you’ll click and the game minimizes, this is an infuriating bug which almost always results in you dying. The third and probably the biggest big, is a game breaking one unfortunately. Some levels you’ll end up clearing all of the tanks you can see, and the game will insist that there is one tank left alive, when there quite clearly isn’t. This is even more prominent on the levels past stage 50. You can’t even kill yourself by shooting a rocket into yourself, the game just breaks, you actually have to quit the game in order for it to work again, and obviously this loses your scores. To sum up, I really like the premise behind the gameplay of this game, but sadly in its current state it isn’t going to be recommended. I am not going to lie; I did actually have fun in the game, when it worked. I think the game can improve a lot on the graphical front, and include some customizability in to make completing the levels feel more like an accomplishment. I personally think that this game would really benefit from a local or online multiplayer mode as I can see that being a ton of fun too. Most of all, the bugs and glitches need to be cleaned up ASAP. The game is priced at £1, 99 when not on sale, and there is also a demo to try out too if you are still interested in trying it out.

[h1][b][u]Hit Tank PRO Review - Rating: 7.2/10[/u][/b][/h1] [h1][b]General Impression[/b][/h1] [quote]Hit Tank PRO is an alright combination of the action, casual, indie and strategy genres. The graphics are relatively nice, being neat, with decent textures. The atmosphere varies between different 40 different maps, which have obstacles and some tunnels which don’t allow you to see your friendly tank (when you go through it), the enemy tanks (when they go through it), or the shells. The audio is alright. The music is pretty nice, even though a single soundtrack seems repetitive, it’s well-chosen for this type of game. The gameplay is basically reaching the final point of the map. On your way, you must destroy the enemy tanks, as well as defend yourself from the up-coming shells, and from the turrets shooting as well. There are 4 difficulties available, which will decide the number of lives you have at your disposal. The user interface is well-optimized, with no bugs and well-synthetized information. The engines are alright, I haven’t met any bugs, crashes, screen freezes or frame drops. The mechanics are pretty solid, I haven’t any glitches around them. Overall, it’s a pretty cute game, with relatively nice graphics and many levels to combat, turning harder and harder as you progress throughout the game.[/quote] [h1][b]Positive Points[/b][/h1] [quote][list][*]Pretty decent graphics [*]Decent sounds [*]Challenging gameplay [*]Very diversified maps [*]Three mode challenges [*]Many difficulties to choose from [*]Many obstacles around the maps [*]Many skins for enemy tanks[/list][/quote] [h1][b]Neutral Points[/b][/h1] [quote][list][*]Probably adding some other enemies than tanks and turrets would improve the gameplay [*]The game only has 1 soundtrack, which will become boring sooner or later [*]It would have been even nicer with multiplayer[/list][/quote] [h1][b]Negative Points[/b][/h1] [quote][list][*]The instructions are pretty unclear [*]After level 30-40 the game gets very hard, this should be fixed by reducing the amount of enemies or by making the friendly tank stronger and being able to send more damage [*]The game only has 1 soundtrack, which will become boring sooner or later[/list][/quote]

[h1] When someone invites you to play a tank game... make sure you don't play THIS ONE! [/h1]

Hit Tank PRO reminds of an old game, whose name I can't remember, where you're a tank pitched against others. You have the same core mechanics here. And thanks to Bechstein, I found the name: Battle City. You're directing a tank through different levels and your goal is to destroy every enemy present. Some of them are stationary and slow to fire, while others are moving and sending many rockets towards you. You get hit? You're trying the level again with all enemies spawning again. Depending on the difficulty, you will have less lives to do. 8 minutes is short to write a review. However, when you've played some levels, you know already how the game will be. The graphics are correct and the soundtrack is just a jingle and tanks sounds. The game is itself a nice little one when you want to take a little break. However, my main problem is the menu in the Missions mode. Indeed, while it's great to have included the three different types of moving (arrows, WASD and ZQSD), while it's great to choose for each level your difficulty, some options, your speed or the hit box, the problem is that when you're pointing your cursor on the keys options, speed or hitbox, you can change the options you have set. And when you're think that ZQSD is chosen and that in reality, you have the arrows.... I mean, it would be great that at least, the choice of ZQSD, WASD or arrows is on another menu and not on the one where you're setting your preferences for the level. Also, when you finish a level, instead of advancing to the next one, you're sent back to the menu (which is normal if you want to change the difficulty or anything else) and if you don't click yourself on "Next", you're going to play the level you've beaten again. However, the Mode Pro/Challenge is changing that way: you set your configuration, your number of life (Pro), level and difficulty and you'll be passing from a level to another without being sent to the menu. Because of the menu in Missions, I'm not quite satisfied - it should have a description of each mode - I would have gone directly to the Mode Pro instead of Missions. In itself, it's a good challenging game though. And here's a challenge: if you're on orly, you can write a review of 50 characters instead of copy/pasting official description or reviews from others. If you can't do it but resort to copy/paste what isn't your work, I've been on a rampage to report you. I'm not taking my time to share my experience with others for your greed.

Simple and Fun mini game Is a Mixed style between Battle City and Gorillas, but rapid and well developed You will drop a lot of cannonballs for defeat the enemies. Have a lot of scenarios, modes, levels, and difficulties. Is the kind of game that let you expend some minutes when you have not a lot of free time for open AAA games! You open it and you will be playing, just this.

A simple, yet surprisingly entertaining game. While it is in no way revolutionary and some of the game's features such as level progression and the screen resolution could definitely use some update, 'Hit Tank' is the perfect game for those of you who have a limited amount of free time as the game doesn't require it's players to devote hours and hours on end into it for you to succeed.

"Hit Tank PRO" ist ein kleiner, schneller Casual Top-Down-Shooter. Eine Story gibt es erst gar nicht, braucht es bei dem Genre aber auch nicht. Wichtig sind die Mechaniken. Und die sind sehr simpel und haben mit einem Panzer so gut wie gar nichts zu tun. Denn im Gegensatz zur Realität fährt unser Panzer superschnell, stopt sofort und fährt auch sofort rückwärts. Unsere Geschosse sind auch erstaunlich, denn sie prallen wie Billardkugeln von Wänden nach dem Prinzip Einfalls- gleich Ausfallswinkel ab. Jeder der sechszig Level ist ein einziger Screen, der meist durch ein paar Wände, durch die man nicht schießen kann, eingeteilt ist. In dem Level befinden sich mehrere Gegner, die wir möglichst rasch ausschalten müssen. Ein Level dauert in der Regel nur wenige Sekunden. So ein Casual-Spielchen ohne Tiefgang kann durchaus einige Zeit Spaß machen und mechanisch funktioniert das Spielchen grundsätzlich auch. Zudem kann man von Anfang an sämtliche Level anwählen und einiges einstellen: Die eigene Geschwindigkeit, die Hitboxgröße und den Schwierigkeitsgrad. Und doch kommt rasch Langeweile auf. Das liegt nicht an den vorhandenen technischen Schwächen wie etwa, daß es eigentlich nur in einem Fenster läuft und man es gar nicht richtig auf Bildschirmgröße hochskaliert bekommt. Auch daß Grafik und Soud eher schwach sind, wär für das Genre kein Problem. Ein Problem ist vielmehr das repetetive und dadurch wenig befriedigende Gameplay das trotz ganz netter und auch einigermaßen abwechslungsreicher Level nicht wirklich länger zu fesseln vermag.

还行吧。 Not Bad.

It's exactly like one of those bad flash games we used to play as children. The missions are boring and when you finish a mission it brings you to the main menu and you have to manually move to the the next mission and to make it even worse you can beat each mission in roughly 10-20 seconds even on the hardest difficulty. In fact all the hard difficulty does is limit you to one type of weapon and 1 life and I don't need more than that anyways because the missions are very easy. It has no achievements or anything to keep you going. The description is also actually a lie. In the Steam Store. It says: "Hit Tank PRO is an addictive game of fast action that combines Strategy, Action and Challenge." But it actually quite the opposite it's not addictive at all, it got boring real fast and it doesn't require strategy at all and there is no action at all and neither any challenge as I mentioned above. I wouldn't spend one cent in this game.

Simple and fun shooter. Theres are very interesting mechanic which is unlike other games; the missles that you shoot bounces which reminds me of a billiard/pool table game. There's some strategy and hand coordination (gotta go fast to dodge enemy missles) involved for such a simple game.
