World of Tanks Review

World of Tanks could be said to have kicked off the popularity of vehicular combat MMOs. Since its initial launch in 2010, the game has now arrived on a wide variety of platforms.

Even now, some nine years later, it still remains one of the most popular titles of its type. This is in large part due to the constant updates and refinements that developer Wargaming Minsk carries out.

But, just how well does it hold up against the many competitors that have emerged over the last few years?

Vehicles

As is common with MMOs and other similar games, there is no narrative or plot. Instead, players compete against each other in online multiplayer matches. World of Tanks focuses entirely on ground vehicles and their role in armed conflicts.

A game that focuses entirely on tanks will live or die on the available options. World of Tanks does not disappoint in that regard. There are a huge number of vehicles to choose from. The tanks and other armored vehicles available all range from the mid 20th century. This gives players access to a wide variety of machinery to use from the early 1930s to the late 1960s.

Nations such as the UK, China, France, Germany, the Soviet Union, and the USA are represented in the more than 400 combat units. The range of tanks doesn’t just come from their country of origin either. You can pick from heavy tanks to tiny light armored vehicles. Each has their own unique characteristics and feel. At the same time, the different type of tanks also allow fro different types of play style. You can be nimble, using agility to get around enemies, or choose to go with a heavy tank to soak up damage and deal plenty of your own out to opponents.
