Not because of how amazing it is, but because it suddenly reminds me of the days when I played "Tank Battle" on Symbian more than ten years ago. At that time, the screen was pitifully small, and tanks like pixel blocks were crawling around on the gray-green background. I had a lot of fun playing it. Now open "Apex Tank", my dear, the sense of presence of modern warfare is directly on my face. The sound of the propellers of the armed helicopters and the vibration of the tank tracks running over the ground are really a bit like another world.
No bragging, this game has a firm foothold in the same category. I have tried several ground and air vehicle shooting games, some of them are very biased, with tanks made heavy but helicopters look like paper; some have flashy graphics, but feel light and airy when actually played. In contrast, "Apex Tank" has found a relatively comfortable balance between vehicle balance and control feel. 😌
To talk about the advantages, we have to mention the scale of the 12v12 battlefield. This number setting is actually quite cunning. It won't lead to chaos and confusion like a hundred-person melee, and it will also give the battlefield a sense of grandeur compared to small teams fighting each other. When forming a team in black, you can clearly feel the space for tactical coordination - who is in the front row to resist the line, who is behind to attack sneakily, and when the helicopter takes off to suppress. This is so much higher than the "whoever spends more krypton is the father" brawl in some similar mobile games.
Of course, there are also shortcomings. Although the developer Tianjin Hero Interactive Entertainment has shown sufficient sincerity this time, the charging model is placed after "0", which still makes me feel a little bit worried as a veteran player - don't get me wrong, the game itself is free and is a good civilization, but the vehicle development cycle is indeed a bit long. You can play it without spending money, but you have to rely on your energy. Sometimes you can unlock a favorite tank, and the feeling of waiting makes me dream back to the energy I had when playing dungeons. In addition, to be honest, there is still room for improvement in the number of maps. After playing for a long time, it is easy to develop muscle memory for the terrain, which lacks the novelty of "opening a blind box".
However, the industry is involved in this, and there are really not many people who can calm down and achieve this level of completion of modern vehicle themes. In the current mobile game market, most of the time, you just change the skin and come out to reap the feelings. Those who have the patience to polish the shooting feel, vehicle differentiation, and battlefield rhythm to this level deserve respect. 👍
As I write this post, the low-flying roar of the helicopter in "Apex Tanks" is still playing in my headphones. In the Saipan era, I could never imagine that one day I would be able to fly an armed helicopter on my mobile phone and engage in real-time bombardment with dozens of living people across the country. Times have indeed changed, but the passion for war games has not changed at all.
It's all about feelings, haha. Friends who want to experience modern warfare vehicle duels but don't want to be dissuaded by the gameplay being too hardcore can give this game a try. 🚁💨
