  1. [R5] World of Tanks Blitz™ 5/5 · US Goat game: Played since I was a little kid and I always end up coming back highly recommend
  2. [R11] World of Tanks Blitz™ 5/5 · US Good tank game: I really enjoy this game I recommend downloading if you really love tanks
  3. [R17] World of Tanks Blitz™ 4/5 · US Optional: Tanks are cool. I like tanks. This is a fun tank game to play. I’ve been playing Blitz (off and on) for ~a decade now - still grinding to get them upgrades - I refuse to spend money on a game just due to some inpatients- I’ve always wondered about a perspective of battle from inside the tank- if you’re interested in tanks in any way and like playing games, WOTBlitz is definitely a ch
  4. [R21] World of Tanks Blitz™ 3/5 · US New total domination game mode: The newly added game mode called total domination is really a fun mode to play. I can’t go 5 stars on the game overall though. Sadly this is due solely to greed of the owners. You can no longer afford to collect all the tanks that drop unless you’re just filthy rich. One other issue would be that for most collector tanks you must gamble on crates. A terrible way to
  5. [R4] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US BS game. Money grabbing. Load time is averaging 15 minutes. Mostly bots or hacks: This game averages 10-15 minutes to load a game. And you can’t leave the screen to check another app or it starts you over. Never been in a battle where I was not the lowest tier. Never been in a battle that we were not always behind (first death is always on my team putting us behind.). Mostly bots which makes the l
  6. [R29] World of Tanks Blitz™ 4/5 · US I can now login with Game Center account on this App, yet I see myself logged in wargaming’s website: I used to login quickly using my Game Center account, and now, every attempt that’s been made to login, I just get a message saying ’connecting’. Now after entering my email address, thankfully my progress has not been erased, and I can still play
  7. [R31] World of Tanks Blitz™ 2/5 · US RNG, LAG, AFK, PC: Be prepared for skewed RNG, matchmaking with constant afk players, zero damage teammates and random lag when performing actions even with good ping. In the last few months it’s been an uphill battle. These are stacked against you while the enemy are favored by RNG. RNG needs to be toned down or removed. Makes this game a chore to play which makes it not enjoyable. Ruins this gam
  8. [R33] World of Tanks Blitz™ 3/5 · GB New patch. After watching adds screen streches badly: When yo watch an add as you can get a bonus for this once the add is finished then screen or picture on screen stretch so so bad everything is like a razor thin and icons are unresponsive therefore i must restrt the app/game I’m on iphne 13 with newest software. Screen used to stretch a bit and that was fine in previous patches but this time
  9. [R6] World of Tanks Blitz™ 3/5 · US Unbalanced: Bots are broken in this game
  10. [R10] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Rigged junk: Don’t even bother with this game. It’s rigged. Not PvP. Every battle is a slaughter. If they decide they don’t like you, you won’t do well. It’s like the company is run by 5 year old kids. If you do play, don’t spend any money in game. Nothing in this game is worth a nickel of your money.
  11. [R12] World of Tanks Blitz™ 3/5 · US The uptiers: Always getting uptiers, especially when your in tier 6, and waiting for the circle to shrink for the KV-2 and KV-1S takes a long time, impossible to immediately shoot enemy players as soon as they are spotted and the other tanks can. Other than that the game is good.
  12. [R13] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Don't let the ratings fool you - not what it used to be.: Don't play this game unless you like lopsided P2W. Don't play this game unless you like dishonest game companies. Don't play this game unless you like support that ignores player tickets. Don't play this game unless you like unpopular changes shoved down your throat. Don't play this game unless you like incompetent devs who don't even play
  13. [R25] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Developers are primates: Typical greedy Slavic pigs from Ukraine "work" on the game, so playing this crap is impossible. Non-penetration into gray areas, primates in the game, and insane prices for junk. These macaques also want to fleece the suckers playing this game by releasing their stinky Reforged, in which they will quietly increase prices for premium vehicles. Don't play this garbage. · translated
  14. [R1] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Rodney Poe: I lost my account that I had for over 11 years I had lots of tanks and a legend they could only tell me that no player by that name was found
  15. [R7] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Horrible: I find it funny i once tried to report someone who said that he touches kids but if i say that the people like to hold each others co ck they ban me instead i guess insults are worse than actual crimes
  16. [R19] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Rigged: I haven’t been able to contact support in over two years. They don’t listen to people who play. They ignore the issues. This is no way to run a business. Avoid this game for that reason.
  17. [R40] World of Tanks Blitz™ 2/5 · US Average at best: I played this game years ago and it was much better then. Two things changed: - because of continuous monetization and pressure to buy special tanks, on higher tiers the game is littered with tanks with impenetrable armor and guns that obliterate any standard issue tank. Can’t win unless purchase the same - bigger problem is the number of stupid bots. I played games where out of
  18. [R55] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Your game is rigged: Why am I playing with enemies hat have thousands of battles?! This is unfair why is this game so p2w?! ITS RIGGED! I can’t win a single battle Becuase im playing with players who are garbage versus the enemy team which has players WITH THOUSANDS of battles, everything in the game is p2w their trying to make gameplay unfair and harder for free to play players so they can buy st
  19. [R67] War Machines：Battle Tank Games 1/5 · US Too much fluff: I want to like this game but unless you’re paying $$$$ into this app you are just a target tank for the A holes who pay to blow you up. That is the jest of this game and its developers good luck surviving unless you want to pay up. Find another game for free.
  20. [R73] War Machines：Battle Tank Games 1/5 · US Tank war machines: The war machines game is geared to the players that spend real money.
  21. [R82] War Machines：Battle Tank Games 1/5 · US terrible experience: War Machines is designed to lure players into buying Premium. The overall experience is pretty bad if you don’t spend money. First, the matchmaking in both Free For All and Team modes is terrible. The game constantly puts high-ranked players together with much lower-ranked players, whether they are teammates or opponents. Matches feel completely unbalanced and unfair most of
  22. [R101] War Machines：Battle Tank Games 5/5 · US You can enjoy even F2P: I have been playing for a few months now (March 2026). I might have bought a $.99 bundle in the beginning. Honestly, I don’t remember. But I haven’t spent a dime since then. It could be a bit of a grind, but if you get the free daily gifts do the daily tasks, etc. You can level up your tanks slowly and be somewhat competitive. If you’re the type of person that wants to win
  23. [R84] War Machines：Battle Tank Games 3/5 · US I like the game: Always asking you to go premium and the price of the premium subscription is way too much for a game. It wouldn’t be bad if it was like 499 a month or something but 799 a week is a bit too much.
