Yeah its pretty good.

lol

Strange, but in a good way. I'm not sure if War of the Human Tanks is supposed to be some sort of allegory, but you can enjoy it regardless of the metaphors. The player manages an army of "human tanks," which carry rifles or artillery and so forth, and the objective is to defeat the enemy by destroying all of its command tanks in an active time battle (ATB) format.

The concept of human tanks forms the basis of the story, which has the touching parts characteristic of anime-related games. Much of the character development happens in the multiple storyline endings, but I wanted to learn so much more about the characters' pasts! (I haven't checked out the rest of the trilogy yet; I hope there are more answers there.) The dialogue makes up most of the game, but I wouldn't mind at all if it were twice as long, for more character development and to let the emotional parts sink in.

Overall, I'm happy I took the risk of trying this really peculiar title, and will definitely play the rest of the trilogy.

A fast-paced strategy game combined Advance War + Battleship classic game.
Your moe gal army want to literally die for you.
Command them as a faceless protagonist through this a bit heartless story.

My rating : roughly 6/10

Reasons of playing:

- Moe gals (...but of course, the most rightful reason)
- The kind of gameplay you don't see often.
- Actual skippable story with few branches, not just battles.
- Not too high in price. It's worthiness comes from how much you enjoy gameplay and features.

My experience:

- Completed the game 10 times, beaten all stages, too lazy to complete research.
- This game can get pretty grinding over time, but you don't actually need to grind in order to complete the story.
- Breeding cats is hard but rewarding (or game-breaking, up to you).
- Advance war element: Grid battlefield with every actions have their own range and area.
- Battleship element: Shoot into the unknown hoping it will hit, then expect attacks from the unknown hoping it will miss.

What I like:

- Moe gals (let's drop this already...)
- Good battle system and well-thought research line.
- Decent plot and story. Some things are predictable, but still well-written.
- Decent older-styled musics... most anyway. Some could use a bit of improvement, the opening in particular.
- I'm not gonna spoil anymore than this.
Most of the fun is from personal taste as well as gut.
I reccomend this if you have them.

What I don't like:

tl;dr Three things - Evasion, Grinding, and Strange pacing.

- Evasion... While it does give excitement for the game, I don't think they should resort to RNG just to make the game more difficult and challenging, especially when there's nothing to counter this evasion.
It also makes many units you can research in a late game seem like a joke. Also, having evasion means that the possibility of 'not being able to hit anything even after the 3rd set of 10 shots' and 'not being able to evade anything the enemies shoot' exist. (spoken from experience where I got an unexpected crushing defeat even with 6 cats and a few units with Diet Cola boost).

- Grinding... To keep this short: Most income per stage ~5-6m, Most expensive stuffs ~100m minus 1. While it's true that you don't even need 1m clear the game and 10m to complete everything else, it just means you can't exactly 'truly complete' the game without passing a hellish test of gut. Also, imagine how long and how hard can you get that 5-6m.

- About pacing... Sometimes it is too slow, like having to check every single grid in a target range. It's a pain for most units with 13 grids (3 in diameter) and some units with ~100 grids for their target range. Remember, you'll be grinding. Sometimes, it is too fast. You can't take too many actions before your opponent gets one. I have no problem with this because it's more fair to the AI.

Something else to say:

- Some stages take longer to beat than one would expect. Some enemies will give you surprises. Some developments raise your desire better than others. Some plot may make a twisted turn. (The characters all kinda twisted already anyway...) Expect these on first playthrough.
- Have trouble breeding cats? Reduce Battle Speed to Minimum, drink cola and feed them radiotoxic.
- By the way, there's no random or custom maps, so things can get old fast.

so far so good...enjoyable. its kinda look like kancolle(shipgirl) but this is kinda simple but not that bad. ^-^

Thought I could go into this superman style and just powerlevel a tank into ridiculousness like any old JRPG, instead I got extreme battleship.

Not dissapointed at all.

I lost on 3rd episode - therefore, the game is a sack of alien testicles.
If I wasn't distracted for nearly 2 hrs, I'd have refunded this motherkickin' game. Japs are masochistic sнiтs!

War of the Human Tanks is a game I really really really wanted to like. Seriously, it's awesome! However, a few things really killed my interest in continuing this game any further than I did.

First, the game really shines in the story and character development department. It had me completely interested from the get-go. The story centers around a war between two empires using human tanks. They're pretty much just machines that look like humans. They are fully at the command of the leaders to live and die in battle, despite their human appearances. You play as the army unit that's just been released from a 'frozen state' to help take back critical objectives. A bunch of ... oddballs that are completely hilarious!! haha.

The music in this game? AMAZING. You can hear some of it in the trailer above. I really enjoyed what i heard throughout my time with the game. The art works well enough too! More of an anime-ish look to everything.

However, the gameplay is where I really struggles to enjoy this game to the fullest. You run around on hexagonal tile sets, where fog of war really rules the surrounding area. Think of a game of battleship, where you fire into unknown areas and hope to hit something. Everything in this game dies in one hit. It works well enough but your units only move a couple of spaces at a time so it feels really slow. Then on top of that, you have a strict time limit, so if your RNG is bad ... you run out of time and fail the mission. Honestly, it happened more times than I would have liked and I grew frustrated with it before long.

I still recommend playing this game because you might not mind the gameplay as much as i did! It's an excellent little indie game that I got on sale for $3 and still managed to get about 3 hours of game time in.

One of the most hilarious tactical games I have ever played. The premise is absolutely bonkers but oh boy is it fun.
