Tank Battle: 1944

The start of a series that are all same to play. Great.........................

A casual wargame-like something for mobiles. The idea is pretty simple. You move your units to capture the enemy control points and also protect yours from being captured. End of the story. Yes, there are hexes that make this game to look a lot like those cool big wargames, but honestly, that's pretty much it and all of the missions are pretty much the same. Laughably small maps, only a few units to choose from and the same exact mission again and again with no end. That's how this game works. It's not [i]that[/i] bad, though. The idea works pretty well on mobiles and if you want to introduce a kid to the wargame genre, or if you have a few minutes during your lunch break, this game may be actually worth checking. The problem is - on [b]PC[/b] it feels laughably dull and boring. No, really, you'll probably get tired and uninstall it after just a few short missions. When you play it like a mission per day on mobile, it's not that bad. But when you're playing on [b]PC[/b] and want more than one short mission... it's [i]extremely[/i] boring. What's good for mobiles is bad for [b]PC[/b]s. Also, [b]HexWar Games[/b] really overdid it with such games. Long story short - they're releasing the same exact game again and again. And again. And again... The only thing they change is the name and the motif. Aside from that it's the same exact dull little something from mobiles. So... no. Just no. Not worth your time, not worth your money.

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Эдакая казуальная версия Panzer Generals - пошаговая стратегия про вторую мировую войну. Хексагонная карта, выдаются войска, выдаются задания и в бой. Покупок юнитов нет, присутствует только подкрепление. Три режима сложности, очень много миссий. Есть чем в игре заняться. Не понравилось, что рандом играет решающую роль, а не тактика. но все равно нужно порою думать... Попадаются очень сложные карты. Разработчик этой игрой дал старт довольно большой серии игр и я надеюсь они будут еще лучше. Эту я рекомендую, но вам нужно иметь с десяток свободных вечеров, чтобы пройти игру, а насладиться ей получится далеко не у каждого. У меня получилось. Рекомендую.

Tank Battle is a very casual tablet 'wargame'. Finished most of this installment. Eventually gave up as some scenarios are greatly imbalanced. I can complete most on hard, but some still feel impossible on easy. If I had my computer I wouldn't be playing this at all. Consequently not recommended.

Not a bad tactical strategy game. Very simple but good enough for the money.

What we have here is an old-fashioned, IGOUGO, hex and counter, terrain modifier, odds-based wargame. While it was originally built for iOS devices, it feels like it could have been taken from a 1970s-era Avalon Hill catalog. The very few concessions to modern sensibilities (and the computer) include fog of war and diceless random number generation. It's a no-frills game that somehow kept me engaged for an evening without noticing the time fly by. Most of the eight campaigns have a dozen missions with (as far as I can tell) unique maps. It's pretty clear the maps are assembled from tiles with different terrain features. Even so, they look attractive and there are enough variations in tree tiles to prevent visual boredom. The units, especially tanks, are nicely modeled. As they wait to be moved, infantry looks around and tank turrets rotate from time to time. When you move them, tanks leave tread-marks that fade after a few seconds. It might be a simple game, but its developers put a lot of effort into the little details that can make a big difference. A few holdovers from the mobile game exist. For instance, the menus are giant boxes with indistinct lettering. It's entirely playable with just the mouse, which has some advantages. One mode is hotseat multiplayer. Unfortunately, there's no screen between the end of one player's turn and the start of the next, so you get a quick look at the opponent's order of battle. On a smaller device, I suspect this is mitigated by handing over your phone while pressing the end of turn button. I don't intend to play multiplayer in any case, but it's awkward if you are thinking about it. As befits the title, the battles involve German and American hardware from 1944. Since German tanks were more capable during that timeframe, the default game levels their abilities a bit to make more even matches. There's also an optional "Historical Mode" that restores the disparity and makes American missions harder. Another difficulty setting controls the behavior of the AI to make it less reckless. Reinforcements come at a fixed schedule and as you take victory points. Unfortunately, no units are carried over to the next mission so the only advantage to playing well is whether you get one, two or three medals. Campaign progression is simple: complete a mission to unlock the next one. Battles don't seem particularly tied to real conflicts. The descriptions tend to be functional: take this victory point, reinforcements on turn 8, watch out for German Tiger tanks!, and so on. It's a little disappointing given the existence of the Panzer General series and the modernized Panzer Corps. Even so, Tank Battle: 1944 a no-overhead game with surprising staying power.

Tank Battle series is basically one same casual pseudo-strategy game copy-pasted multiple times and all of them are the same boring trash.

Good strategy game. Oldschool design is awesome. You can earn achievements. And you can get trading cards.

基本一样玩法的战棋类游戏发布了好几个 每个都不算便宜，加起来都快有好几部3A游戏的价格了 但实际内容，战斗简陋，基本上就靠逐一歼灭各个击破，外加拼RP比伤害，可玩性太差了

Unbalanced and unrealistic. Of this series, it's about the worst. Unless you like losing over and over, try one of the others. But give this one a pass.
