Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
112 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm really in love with the setting, and all the little things you can learn about the rather disenfranchised battle-androids they call Human Tanks; the story really exceeded my expectations in every way.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are plenty of different unit types that can switch up the way you play (though I tended to shy away from the poor Shock tanks because they just break my heart when they yell "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" before exploding) and the long and rewarding research lines kept me grinding away at the free battles for a long time.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's full voice acting, fun animations and even some really catchy music that makes me itch to buy the soundtrack.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
War of the Human Tanks is a unique turn-based strategy with a very malleable turn-order, a grid-based combat system, and has a surprisingly deep story that is both humerous and light-hearted, but able to take a more serious tone where needed.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Apparently, the art style just needed some getting used to, because once I got into it, I thought the graphics were actually pretty good.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The AI is fairly challenging, and even with heavily-upgraded units, the later battles can really surprise you with how they masterfully crank up the difficulty.
