War Thunder Mobile 12+

Nice

This game is fun

Don’t expect to much.

I’ve been playing War Thunder on PC for about 3 years, and countless times found myself loving and hating the game. After seeing this game on the AppStore, I thought to myself: Why not?

So I downloaded the game and have played it over a weekend were I’ve been without my PC, and there’s a lot of things to be said.

The grind felt pretty good at the start, as I unlocked plenty new vehicles “for free” in the first couple of hours. I thought this was a very good mechanic, as you have 2 vehicles per tier, and get one free, but that didn’t last. Eventually you have to pay, which isn’t a huge problem, but knowing Gaijin, I’m afraid of the cost going forward.

The gameplay itself is pretty average. I’m not a huge fan of the zooming, manoeuvring or aiming, but that can be fixed eventually. I’ve been primarily playing the naval part of the game, and here you get detailed ship models and aircraft to a certain extent. You have to grind your way through 5-6 destroyers until you get the cool stuff such as Light- and Heavy-cruisers, submarines and eventually battleships. Unlike War Thunder, War thunder mobile has a linear tech tree, as you can’t really choose what to research. You get 1-2 choices, which I think is pretty stale. You also get experience point for the ship you are using, so that you can upgrade it and get better stats, such as increased speed or torpedo load.

As a mobile game this is pretty okay, and for people who have never experienced the detailed damage model which War thunder offers it’s probably quite good. Compared to the actual game? It’s awful. Small maps, bad controls, etc, but I think that for what it’s worth, it’s a pretty unique mobile game, as I'm not aware of any other games which replicates the unique War thunder experience.

All in all, a okay game, with good graphics and bellow average controls. Why did they make this game? I have absolutely no idea. It’s a huge downgrade from the actual War thunder experience, and if you are expecting anything close to it, you’ll be severely disappointed. If you want a good mobile naval game, and maybe even tank game, this is not for you. In both cases I would argue Wargamings World of Warships and World of Tanks are better.

3/5 stars

Dear player, WTM is a standalone game, not a variant of the mobile client for WT. Modes, maps, vehicles and economy of WT Mobile are not related to similar sections in War Thunder. Try to play our game without looking at the PC version and you will be pleasantly surprised by the variety of gameplay and features!

Dear player, we are not sure if this name is a good idea, but it is possible to change the name through your Gaijin account. Sincerely, WTM team.
