War Machines：Tanks Battle Game

Let me start by saying this game is fun. Let me finish by saying that this game is frustrating. We all know what we consider fun. Let me tell you what I consider frustrating. 1) The developers of this game don’t respond to frequently occurring issues like players not being able to connect into the game. Their response? It must be your internet. BS. We have chat rooms in which our clans chat...all have the same problem...can’t connect into the game. Why is this an issue? Because despite the claim that this is a free game...it most certainly is not. We purchase items that have limited time use. When servers are down the clock continues and our purchase is wasted. This happens FREQUENTLY. 2) Glitches within the game...twitchy aim, shots missing despite point range, spawn within a building, and many more. 3) Response to complaints go unanswered for weeks and sometimes never. I myself have 2 unanswered complaints that are close to a month old. I could go on and on but it wouldn’t matter. What matters is that the developers of this game have no respect for the paying customers. I have one simple expectation...I should get what I pay for. Here, sadly, I don’t.

Really fun game when you start out but once you reach certain ranks you start to face off against opponents with stronger tanks and using customization. You are forced to purchase coins/diamonds in order to buy a stronger tank, upgrades or customization. Trying to collect coins/diamonds is not going to cut it when upgrades cost so much. In order to be competitive at all you have to run customization on your tank or you will be lucky to obtain a couple of kills. I have a strong tank but if I don’t spend 2200+ diamonds for 5 days of customization I will be killed easily by opponents. Just no way to compete. And of course purchases are extremely expensive. You will spend several hundred dollars if not thousands if you get addicted to the game and want to compete. And of course as you progress in rank to the general level you start to face opponents that are superior even though you have a strong tank. The matchups become extremely unfair and the developers are obviously trying to get you to spend money to upgrade your tank. Even if I purchase diamonds/coins for $99 it is still not enough to get me one upgrade since it now costs me so much to complete one upgrade. I am done spending money and when I deplete my current coins/diamonds I will find a new game or create a new account and play for free until I am not competitive anymore. Don’t get roped into this game unless you are willing to spend a lot of money down the road.

Great game if you’re a casual gamer who is content to play for just 10-15 minutes at a time (3-4 matches). It is possible to progress nicely but slowly without spending real money but you gotta be very patient. If you’re willing to stay with tier 1 tanks, you may be able to play decently with just pure skills for a while. Remember, once you get higher tier tanks, you’ll need more diamonds to buy special ammo, thus you will be tempted to spend money for those diamonds and coins. Regular ammo are still free but quite useless in higher tiers. Tip to newbies: stick to the free tank and keep upgrading before getting a new one. Upgrade your new tank before using in battle. NOW: If you like playing for hours with the best tanks and ammo and power ups and customizations be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars. Suggestions for the developer: At least make those coins convertible to diamonds or better yet just make it a single currency. Limit the effect of customizations and improve match-ups (4 fully customized tanks vs regular tanks= plain massacre). Don’t be too greedy, be nice to your paying customers.
