Tanks a Lot - War of Machines 12+

This game is great and addicting, but I have a few issues. In the Battle Royale mode, the highest place you can get is pretty much 2nd place just because the last guy is incredibly powered up with 7000 HP and the best guns and whatnot. Another issue: crashes. This game crashes A LOT. I guess you could also blame it on the fact that I have an iPad Air 1st generation, so it’s older but that shouldn’t prevent my gameplay. Matchmaking is another issue, sometimes I get a person that is worse at the game and my team loses. Or someone on the other team is over powered. If I really want to think into the future, I want there to be an option for friends and custom 1v1. Maybe for the 1v1 you could create a custom map and 1 v 1 your friend or a random person. For this game to progress, you need to look into adding voice chat, not just “emotes”. Leveling up you guns and tank is also tedious, as it is a slow process because chests take so long to open. I wish ads were usable multiple times, and however many ads you watched deducted x hours from the open time. Other than that, it’s fun and addicting.

Dear player,
Thank you for all the things you mentioned. It's very important for us to know what players think about our game and what we could improve.

This is a fun game, but 90% of it is watching ads. For every minute of gameplay, you’ll probably spend 2-5 times that just watching ads. You can opt out but then you’ll have to wait 3-8 hours just to open a chest you earned from winning a match. And that chest will only contain a few coins and cards in it anyway. Not really worth it. You can only open 1 chest at a time too, so you’ll be waiting a very long time unless you spend cash. Watching 1 ad isn’t enough to open a chest either. You need to watch around 4 or more ads just to open it.

And the battle pass costs 2-4 times more than similar games. Match ups are also not great, because you’ll often be matched with players with better tanks from higher tiers. They’ll kill you in 1 or 2 shots and you’ll barely scratch them. Once they learn how weak your tank is, they’ll keep coming after you and mock you with emoji. There’s a couple tanks that can shoot you through walls too, so out playing them isn’t an option. Those games you just have to take the loss.

Like I mentioned earlier though, when you are in a match and it’s a fair match up, then it’s a ton of fun. If the developer was less greedy and didn’t take advantage of player’s impatience, or punish players for not spending a lot of money, I think this game would be more popular than it is. I’m probably going to move on to something else soon. Tanks a lot for reading!

Dear player,
Thank you for writing to us. We constantly work on the game balance, and your feedback helps us understand what can be improved in our game.
As for watching ads, yes, it takes some time, but it allows you to get bonuses in the game and to open chests faster than if you would wait for them to open.

Don’t get me wrong, this is an incredibly fun game. Choosing bits to make up a little tank, and competing with others in rotating multiplayer modes that are long enough to enjoy but short enough to play multiple rounds in a ten minute span. Though I wish we could simply play ALL game modes whenever we chose, I understand the developers rotating them to keep player counts high and loading times short. It is somewhat disturbing that the tournament limits the ticket number, but allows pay to win players to purchase more... However, I find myself constantly playing, or wanting to play this game either way since I’ve gotten it. But the only way to upgrade anything for your tank is through cards that essentially only come from chests or purchasable for coins that DO ONLY come from chests. Therein lies the paywall - this game is extremely limited by the four-chest, single-unlock method adapted by most recent apps. So if you manage to win four matches, your chest slots are full and you don’t get any coins for a win. It’s extremely difficult to gain cards to upgrade, and harder yet to pay to upgrade anything at all. If we could watch an unlimited number of ads to shorten unlock times on chests, or if we could at least unlock multiple chests at once, this would be a non-issue. However, I don’t expect any changes to take place. Happy to change my rating if, and only if, changes do take place. Good luck future players.

Dear Piper, thank you for the kind words and your in-depth feedback.
At the same time, we’re very sorry to hear that you’ve had negative experience with “Tanks A Lot!“.
Please note that the game was designed to be fun both for those who don’t pay for any features and those who choose to do so.
After a recent update, we’re monitoring player reactions and feedback closely to make improvements for the future. Also, please note that with the new Pass feature, you’re able to queue up all the 4 chests to have them run the clock down simultaneously.
Please check all the latest improvements and additions, e.g. the new PvE content and Tank Parts. We hope these we will convince you to play “Tanks A Lot!“.
