Bandits
I grabbed this game during the Steam Winter sale of 2020. For the sale price, i have to say it is a lot better quality than most of the games at the same price point from what i saw. While the game is built around local or remote play PVP versus mode, it also has a fun 16 level single player story mode. Each of the tanks you can play as all have their own unique feel and play style with pickups in game any tank can use. The game has a slight difficulty curve which is challenge while still being an engaging experience. What really stood out to me the most was the level design. Every level contains destructible environment elements to use to your advantage. All of the level have their own unique play style, adding variety to the gameplay. For the campaign all the maps available have their own unique challenges, which i would love to see added to a versus mode in the future. For example, the racing or more tower defense style defend modes with players switching sides. The game reminds me of a classic play style of Blastcorp and Blaster Master. I look really forward to seeing what future potential this game has. There is a lot this game could do to become an even greater and more engaging game. Mainly online net code that is not steam remote play dependent. I would love to see more stuff for the humans to do before getting their tank such as repairing the tank or acquiring some mission item. This could include stealth or gun play which would make the game have more depth along with building character story. If you want a fun casual couch co-op game to play with up to four people this is defiantly a potential buy for you. Even if you just plan to play the single player mode the game is very enjoyable.

I really liked the style and it’s very fun to play, specially if you can gather 3 more ppl, battle royales are chaotic in the way you want them to be.

Having played Hero Armored Company for about 10 hours now, already some things can be said about this tank sim. Let me begin with the most important thing: I like it! This game has the potential to become a great tank simulator.
Does it have problems? Yes. Does it need improvement? Absolutely! But that doesn’t wipe out the fact that this is the most fun tank sim I’ve played since World Of Tanks (and I’ve played a LOT of WoT!!!) - and for me at some points it even superseeds it!
THE GAME
For now only part of the single player content is available with a Story Mode (with at this moment 8 missions) - an aspect I definately miss in WoT! Single Player Mission Mode and Multiplayer Mode will become available at a later stage. So far I have been grinding myself though the Story Mode.

Panzer Knights
UPDATED:
Panzer Knights is a very promising tank action game. It’s still rough around the edges and there’s a lot of development to go, but it’s well worth supporting and I would happily pay more for the complete product. Since my original review there have been many additions and improvements.
PROS:
-
Excellent visual design both in terms of the tanks and the characters. The artist and model maker did an excellent job.
-
There are good number of tanks and many crew characters to choose from, including lots of pretty girls - though there are men too if want to make it a little less gratuitously moe. Since the male and female crew have the same skillsets anyway, I imagine most of us are going to use the girls. As for the tanks, you get a decent variety of well known vehicles such as Panzer III, Panzer IV, Panther, and Tiger each in two or three variants.

Do you like tanks? Do you like World War 2 history? Are you a complete massive wehraboo? Then this is the game for you.
This game takes aspects from WOT and War Thunder. Specifically the arcadey shooting of the former with the realistic tank movements of the latter. The game is pretty fun, large variety of tanks and crews with some camos to unlock to give you a bit of customization. Crewmates can have their skills improved as you gain more money therefore allowing you to perform better on the battlefield.

Battle Command
Before 1990, if you wanted to control an assault tank you either had to sign up to Her Majesty’s Armed Forces, or settle for the basic side-on or top-down computer graphics of the day.
Then there was Battle Command.
The game sees you take command of a futuristic assault tank, dropped by Helicarrier right into the middle of the action on the battlefield. While many other 3D efforts of the time resulted in confusing wireframes or framerates measured in spf instead of fps, Battle Command’s fully-filled polygons were a breath of fresh air… until that air was filled with the acrid smoke from the burning wrecks of enemy buildings and vehicles!
With multiple camera views allowing the player to sit in the belly of the beast or to see the action from a third-person perspective – a real innovation at the time – this much-loved ‘command’ game focused more on outright fighting that the strategic elements of similar titles. Yet it was not all simply ready-aim-fire; the player still has to equip the most suitable ammunition to satisfactorily complete each one of the exciting and varied missions.
According to the original box art:
_Set in the near future of an alternative reality, Battle Command is an arcade/strategy game in which the player controls a single ‘Mauler’ Assault Tank in one of sixteen scenarios in the ultra-war, fought between two dominant races in the New World. The latest phase of this north/south war has been going on for over ten years with a stalemate eventually developing – a stand-off between armies massed over a long dug-in battle front.
Such are the defensive capabilities of each side, full scale assaults are suicidal, so any offensive moves are, by necessity, small behind-the-lines actions performed by elite troops in specially designed vehicles. The Mauler is the latest such machine – capable of being lifted in and out of hostile territory by fast stealth choppers and armed with the most advanced weaponry the northern sides can devise.
First into Battle…
…Last to Leave!_
Armored Warfare
I really had high hopes for this game, not because I thought it was better than World of Tanks or War Thunder, but because it had a mode that those other two games does not, that is, PvE. When you grow tired of the 15 vs. 15 idiot-fest that the other games become, you can play Armored Warfare and fight computer controlled opponents. Sure, you still have to deal with 4 other humans, but usually one or two of them go link-dead during the battle or stay along the edge of the map and out of your way.

A good idea run into the ground by greed, incompetence, and toxicity.
This game was originally made by Obsidian and despite meddling by My.com to make it more like World of Gold Shells, a lot of the old Obsidian magic still does shine through in the PVE content.
Unfortunately, this game is currently in the hands of My.games which is an incredibly cynical, lazy, and just generally unethical company.
Pay-to-Win Matchmaking
In addition to the usual pay-to-win upgrades and OP premium weapons which exist in many such “live-service” games, the devs now even sell pay-to-win matchmaking to “allow for more comfortable gameplay” for people who use premium currency to purchase “Battle Hardened status” for their vehicles.

Oh No! Bugs!
This game looks pretty, but it’s not always what it seems. It’s fun for the first few minutes but then that’s it, you’re doing the same thing over and over again with no difference but a few characters here and there. It has potential but it also needs much more content to feel fulfilling, anyways, in it’s current state, I do not recomment.

A Co-Op Arcade Game
-
The gameplay is enjoyable. You mainly go around pushing blocks at bugs trying to squash them. You have to be careful though because blocks will bounce back at you if you miss, and you must avoid getting hit by the bugs.
-
Relaxing background music
-
Local and Online co-op
-
I felt the game as a whole was a bit too basic / lacking in content. After about 10minutes the game started to feel repetitive.
-
After you complete each level you get some coins and experience, which you can use to purchase cosmetic items for your character. Unfortunetely, I just didn’t feel like these were rewarding or worth while to work up to.

While I do like the concept that this game is trying to go for (A sort of Brothers in Arms style TPS) it is just too buggy and unpolished for me to recommend. As of writing this, ive requested a refund, but I will be continuing to watch this game for updates to see if some of the issues will be fixed

Steel Crew
I had fun with this game and i really wanted to like it, but spending more time on trying to gather people to play with, than actually getting to play the game just frustrated the shit out of me.
One probably has heard that all games are more fun with friends? And putting a crew together with 2 friends in this game is indeed be fun! Sadly even when you do that you will probably encounter the issue of not getting anyone to fight against. If you are lucky you maybe get an enemy tank that is badly undercrewed as opponent. Luckily the developer had the idea to add AI tanks to fight against, too bad they shoot like storm troopers and wouldnt hit the wide side of a barn. So before you spend your money, please keep in mind that this is a multiplayer game with a chronic lack of players. According to Steamcharts.com there were 5 players online at average in the month after release - with it declining further currently.

Steel Crew is a very fun VR game for anyone who wants a REALISTIC game where you play as a tank crew in world war 2.
When I say realistic I mean in mechanics of how the tanks function. Your driver has two sticks that control each sides treads and must manually shift gears while driving. The gunner rotates small valve style gears to adjust the gun and turret and has a magnified gun scope to aim with. Your commander can pop out of the cupola on the top of the tank to get a better view of the tanks surroundings but be careful enemy gunners and fire a coaxial machine gun.
