Summary

Take it for exactly what it is. It is a very simple easy to learn tank game with a not a lot else. You can play against the Ai or do local multiplayer which is just fine. Be prepared to get used to the controls as it feels weird at first but levels out. I wish it had more substance to it but for what it is Toy Tanks plays well and is fun for a while.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
