About
HEAT drops you into intense 5v5 skirmishes and larger 10v10 clashes where there’s room for both personal skill and team coordination. There are no "win buttons”; the battlefield is equal for everyone, and victory goes to those who communicate, adapt, and outthink the enemy. Fight, win, lose, master new tricks, and come back stronger every new battle.
Choose your Agent, each with unique abilities that define how you fight, hold ground, and time your strikes to maintain momentum. Every tank in HEAT is upgradable. Tune your tank and mix experimental modules to match your playstyle. Every combination feels different on the battlefield, so experiment until you find what clicks.
HEAT is powered by a completely new engine built from the ground up, with full support for the most advanced lighting systems, particle effects, and VFX available. This makes every explosion, impact, and ability feel like you’re witnessing it live.
HEAT runs seamlessly on PC (Wargaming Game Center and Steam), Steam Deck, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and GeForce NOW. All your Agents and tanks are ready for action, no matter what gear you play on. Log in with a single Wargaming account to sync your progression instantly across all your devices.
HEAT is set in an alternate post-WWII timeline, where science has triumphed and the world blooms with technical marvels. But peace is fragile, and behind the facade of harmony lurks an intensifying arms race. Your arsenal will be packed with cutting-edge technologies, all based on real-life scientific and design concepts. This "what if" machinery is heavy, brutal, and built to shred armor. It is a world where engineering beauty is forged for the frontlines.

I like it, but only bots turn me off. Have absolutely zero desire to play through some hours for humans
Mid game
Progression, in true Wargaming fashion, is excruciatingly slow. To the point where if you aren't going to dump some cash into it, expect to play hundreds upon hundreds of hours to master anything, let alone unlock all the tanks. Also I didn't see a way to even try them out beforehand in a match (No rentals) Hard pass. War thunder still respects your time more, and there are other, non f2p games to scratch your armour-loving itch. (Battlefield, the new sci-fi tank one Tyr for example.) Thanks, but as usual, no thanks Wargaming Group.

TLDR: 3 tanks, 3 game modes, 9 maps. Monetization all over the place, mind-numbing grind. You start with 3 Tanks to choose from, everything else is locked behind mind-numbing grind or paying real money. Progression feels slow af. At some point after the "rookie protection" runs out you'll be grounded - if you had fun until now - because other players have tanks far superior than yours. Matchmaking is just stupid: You pick an agent/tank combo and maps and game modes are rolled randomly. Let's say you want to play a sniper tank: Under guarantee you will be thrown on a tight city map in a gamemode that favors everything else but a sniper tank. Same for other roles. There are a handful of maps and basically 3 game modes: Capture and hold 1 point, capture and hold 3 points, kill enemy and collect tokens they drop. You've seen everything after 10 matches. Basically everything is gated behind some type of token. You want a nice skin? Pay some token. You want to unlock an upgrade for your tank? Pay some other token. You want to progress in the "free tier" battle pass? Use another token. Also you have to pay tokens for unwanted unlocks to redeem the ones after - you can't skip some. I tried to have fun. Unistalled after playing 3 evenings.
A surprisingly polished and fun tank shooter. The game runs great, looks great, and the free battle pass is honestly a nice touch. Matches are fast and exciting, the classes feel well designed, and I really enjoy how each tank has its own unique abilities. The module upgrade system is also a cool feature that gives you something meaningful to work toward. It doesn’t feel overly pay to win, and the option to play against bots is fantastic, you can enjoy the game without worrying about being stomped by players who spent money. Overall, a smooth, fun, and well optimized experience.
匹配机制跟屎一样,队友神一把鬼一把,卡匹配bug两天了还没修,对局进都进不去
Очень много контента было вырезано, но, понятное дело, со временем будут постепенно добавлять новых героев и технику. Как танковый экшен-шутер, HЕАТ выглядит очень свежо, динамично и красиво. Игра хорошо сбалансирована, а новый герой получился вполне удачным: он не кажется слишком сильным или слабым и органично вписался в игровой процесс. В целом игра хорошая, но на старте ей не с рукожопыми кодерами и небольшого количества контента. Главное — немного потерпеть. Если разработчики будут регулярно выпускать обновления и сделают нормальную рекламную компанию, а не ролики в тик токе на 100 лайков, то игра со временем станет только лучше (если только WG не обосрутся).
ロンチがあまりにひどかったのでしばらく寝かせておいたら… もっとひどくなってた 26/07現在 Steam同接は300~800人程度 初期からやり続けている廃人しか残っておらず、それの何が問題かというと このゲームは『プレイすればするだけLVを上げて、車輌とエージェントを永続的に性能UP』させられる育成システムがある つまり初期から毎日遊んでいるユーザーと、新規や休眠期間のあったユーザー間ですでに「同じ車輌を使っても性能差がある」という、2026年にリリースされたPvPシューターとして信じられないゲームデザインになっている 車輌ごとの性能序列もかなり露骨で、育成が進んだ課金車輌に初期機体3体で立ち向かっても仕留められないくらいの差がある コンセプトは可能性を感じるのに、開発運営の頭がF2P=P2Wといわれていた15年前のまま ゲームバランス、UI、マッチング、運営体制 グラフィック以外のすべてが何もかもおかしい そもそもヒーローシューターっていいながらキャラクターのバックストーリーをニュース記事に書いて終わりってどういうこと? ゲームの中で表現しろよ…
Best tank game I've ever played, try it, you'll like it!
Terribly unbalanced, solo play is very hard constantly going against 3 stacks of 2 raketa and 1 hstv tryhards. Not too bad to mess around on casually but dont expect to have a good time doing it unless you are squadded up with 2 other players. I have every tank in the game almost Lv. 50 all with modules, almost 2 mil credits and over 3k intel. I have played this more then enough to warrant this review. I can not recommend this at all in the current state.
