I still remember the days when I played "Tank Wars" on the GBA. Although the screen of the SP was small, the feeling of using the cross keys to control the tank, move to stuck points, and blast the enemy base with one shot is really a memory engraved in my DNA. 🎮🚀 Later, "War Zone Tanks" on the PSP also made me addicted for a long time. The online battle lasted all night, and the sound of the keyboard and the shouts of teammates were all in the headphones. Youth, youth.
Recently, I downloaded the PPSSPP emulator on my mobile phone and played through several PSP tank games. The picture quality is still so rough, but I can actually pick it up in the hand. When I was browsing the simulator forum, I happened to see a mobile game called "Brothers of Tanks" in the recommendation column. I clicked on it and took a look. Oh, isn't this the tank collection gameplay on the cassette machine that was moved to the mobile phone? Decide to download and take a look.
I didn't expect that I would get hooked as soon as I started playing it. 🤯 This game is about card development + placement and AFK. It is completely different from the hard-core operation on GBA, but the excitement of collecting hundreds of classic tanks is exactly the same as that of completing the full illustrated book on the simulator! The original PSP tank game was all hand-operated, which was tense and exciting, but the idle gameplay allowed me to easily maintain the tank on my commute without having to rush around with my hands. Moreover, it has two-player competition and joint land and air combat, which reminds me of the passion of online battles back then. Although it is now an automatic battle, the fun of strategic matching is still there.
The downside is that the graphics are too refined and lack the grainy pixels of old handheld games. However, for players who don't want to mess with simulators but want to experience the feeling of collecting tanks, this product is definitely a surprise 🎯 The key is that it is free. You can unlock hundreds of tanks for 0 yuan, which is much more cost-effective than buying CDs back then. Hahaha.
Having said so much, I actually just want to shout out: If you are like me and still have the GBA emulator on your phone, you might as well try this mobile game, maybe you can regain the thrill of demolishing the base back then. Band of Brothers, it's over! 🚀🔧
