  • Summary: More than just another modern tank simulation. This design effort goes further than any before it to accurately model real-world conditions and tactics -- but in a way as to not overwhelm the novice, would-be tanker with a zillion key combinations and an overwhelming interface. [Shrapnel Games]

    Yet another indie game that totally blows away what the faceless corporations put out.

    This is the best tank simulation you can buy, and maybe the best one ever. [Dec 2000, p.170]

    A no-frills tank sim that has a very solid base but not a great deal in terms of extras or window-dressing. Tank sim fans will find this a pleasing and detailed addition to their collection but anyone who is looking for the latest graphics, frantic shooting or options by the bucketload will not find them here.

    If you're up to its challenges, Steel Beasts offers an accurate, involving, and rewarding simulation of modern tank warfare.

    My biggest complaint with SB is that there is no sort of story line to go with the game.

    Though Steel Beasts sets new standards as a multiplayer tank sim, it is specifically focused on that area to the exclusion of all others.

    Bar none, the best Tank sim on the market today, but it has a very steep learning curve.

    Your first impression will be the dated graphics. Then you'll be hooked by the amazingly realistic sounds, and then you'll be Your first impression will be the dated graphics. Then you'll be hooked by the amazingly realistic sounds, and then you'll be totally addicted as the immersive game play pulls you in.
