Tankionline Reviews 170

9 year veteran of Tanki Online here. that person who said people who said "don't listen to whiners. the game is fun" would've been right a few years back, maybe in 2013-2015 but not anymore. There's a reason why tanki online back in 2015 had 80k players online a day, now adays if you go on tanki it barely has 3k players. You need to have the top equipment, turret, hull or you're just going to get one shotted. Where's the skill in that? No matter how skilled you are, if you are using a lower level tank than the enemy you're fighting, you're going to die. They merged russian servers with english ones and now you won't ever find a person who speaks english. don't know the same language? great, you have no communication with your team. If you want to play a match, you can still select what mode you want to play on but that's it. You get auto placed in an ongoing game and that's no fun when it's already half way through. By the way, you benefit a lot if you buy a premium account (cost real money), 50% more exp and 100% more crystals. This game is pretty much worth it for the highest bidder and it's not fun at all if you actually want to play as a free player.

BTW don't forget about Tanki X guys. Why would they even think of making a second Tanki game instead of using those same updates/platform game engine for Tanki Online? They ended up shutting down Tanki X because they didn't have enough people spending money on the game and the server cost was too high because of it... just wow.

TankiOnline WAS the only multiplayer game that I really, really liked when I first played it many, many years ago. It was fun back then. It was SIMPLE to play, You collect turrets, hulls,kits, etc. You can upgrade them as you rank up, without too much time and effort, even without spending money. So many battles to choose from. And you can choose battles where you can see your friends playing, and join their team. There was even a choice of English, Russian, and International battles. This is important because choosing English battles mean you can speak english in the chat window, and ALL your teammates would understand you, so you can plan strategies to beat the other team. I LOVED Tanki!.....THEN IT STARTED......The developers started making changes, drastic changes (they call them "updates"). NOW, they added turrets & hulls (which is fine) BUT they made various upgrades to them that are complicated and difficult to get without paying. You cannot choose your battles anymore, they "match" you to an existing battle. Heck, you may even find yourself playing against your friend! Or, you enter a battle with only a few seconds left to play (crazy isn't it?). And no more English battles. They're all International. So forget about planning your strategy for your team to win, because your teammates only speak Russian, HaHaHa....And FINALLY, the last nail to the coffin, they changed the game platform from FLASH (which was doing fine) to HTML5. The graphics is now totally different too. MORE complicated, difficult to read texts on the screen. That is IF you can enter a battle. So there, I REALLY, REALLY MISS THE OLD TANKIONLINE. THAT WAS FUN. THIS NEW ONE? FORGET IT.

The quality of the game went down really badly in the past years and so did the number of players. The developers have added various game mechanics to make people spend more time playing yet these damage the quality of the gameplay (ex: challenges). They have sold on some occasions items (that affect gameplay a lot) exclusively for real money (which is like a nice slap in the face if you are a free to play user). The number of maps available in the matchmaker is rather low (you could also play custom battles but devs incentivise people to play in the matchmaker so much it's not even worth bothering with custom battles) so there's a severe lack of diversity in terms of gameplay. Battles are usually extremely unbalanced and it's just not fun. There's probably way more reasons for why the game went downhill but I can't be bothered to think of them all.

dont even bother guys this game consists of 90% buyers that spend 100s of dollars and block 50% of your damage and they spam double defence damage and speed and overdrives also teams are pretty much always unfair

best game!.........................

The new update on M0, M2 and M3 is annoying. would be better if you just changed it back to the original upgrades. Its more simple and less confusing.

Man don't listen to the whiners.This game is very fun, especially if you want a game you want to keep playing it for quite a lot of time.The critics that say it's p2w, do not worry as most games are much more p2w. It's not Fortnite. You have read the review blaming them for being Russian,seriously? The only complain is, there is lots of trash from players saying its p2w, why can't they just leave?Also,for the customer support complains, they say those things because most problems that players post,its not such a big deal to make a fuss of, right? My biggest problem is, the events are too overhyped. Otherwise gameplay is awesome and skill-requiring

Since switching from flash, the game has gone towards a spiral of inevitable rubbish! I hope those in charge of managing the game will come to their senses and revoke any damage caused. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD VERSION.... I no longer am an active player within the tanki Community.

This game is trash. They just simply tricked the hackers by using a direction changer anti cheating system , so now they are blamming cheat engine as trash. But actually tanki online is trash .
The old version was amazing , Now a goood weapo exceeds 50k crystals and we hardly earn 150 in mm battles.
This game is now trash-------------

hey ,
I know that you want to know about the game tanki right ?
ok then lets start .
first you have to be a buyer , to destroy high ranked players !
second , tanki is starving for money ,, so in purchasing , they will f4ck your acccount , if you cancel the transaction ! lol right ?

Impossible to progress after the first like 5 ranks. Once you rank up a bit, you will get matched up with people with maxed out weapons, hulls, and infinite abilities with no cooldown and its impossible to get more than 12 crystals per match (1 match = 5-10 mins). I really want to play the game but I can't. Don't start playing, it will be a waste of time

P.S. getting a good weapon is like more than 50.000 crystals and abilities are also really expensive

good upgrades and events

Used to be a unique, fun game (from around 2009-2017). As soon as the old community manager left, the devs for some reason started completely ignoring the community. If you aren't a veteran player, it's now pretty much impossible to get to high ranks without spending 100$+ dollars. Also, they like to copy Fortnite concepts which helped screw up the game (matchmaking system, battle-passes, v-bucks etc.). The community told them "no, this won't work for Tanki", but nevertheless they completely ignored everyone and went along with it. They are working on a new game now too btw (Fortnite clone), so I expect Tanki to die out completely in 1-2 years.

Anyways, enough doom and gloom. Have a nice day :).

I started playing Tanki online in 2012. It was tremendous fun back then, but now, through a series of horrible updates and sloppy coding it is tedious and boring. Also they pay little or no attention to their customers and in fact have forum monitors who's only job is seemingly to berate or belittle anyone who voices any sort of complaint. This is now a play to win game that only seeks to get it's fingers in your wallet. Don't waste your time or money on it.

When i started playing Tanki online it was fun as hell, now, with these updates and the overpowered turrets it is horrible basically it's pay-to-win. I only gave it two stars because it was my childhood.

Tanki Online = Trash Online.
Seriously, this game should be shut down, because of so many reasons.
First of all, TO HelpDesk is unable to restore your nickname, clan and others items, maybe even your account, in case it gets lost / hacked; the helpdesk will use a stupid excuse that "the security of your account depends on your actions" - what else can I do, more than linking my account, securing my email? The truth is, Tanki is unable to offer your account safety and security and they dont' care how much you spend for your account.
Second: the public chat is a public bully place, where everyone bully as they like, insults, or use provocation, against users that won't swear, or won't do that, but chat moderators are unable to perform a fair moderation, they ban as they please. This is absolutely disgusting, TO allows players to act like animals and support this wrong attitude. For these reasons, TO / Alternativa Games *must* be bring in court and shut down.
Third, the game is fully loaded of useless updates, it becomes more and more boring and annoying, there is NEVER a fair battle, not even once, the developers are living in a parallel world, instead of looking into fixing their mistakes, try to write better codes to decrease errors (so many errors, all the battles, everywhere), instead of banning mult, they keep providing new paints, as if anyone really care about them when they have vital aspects to focus on and fix.
And last, the game is way too expensive for what it has to offer. Less and less players online playing it, making more and more difficult to enter battles.
Advice: tanki online? Run. Go play a game. This is not a game. This is a trash.
Signature: one former huge buyer

This game is just garbage, i remember the good old days where this game was fair and fun to play with. However this game is unplayable anymore, people who spend a butt load of cash in this game always have an advantage over those people who play without paying money. I find it frustrating when i respawn then i get one shot by a sniper. This game is simple, u need to have money to play this game, no money, dont even think about it, what ashame. I wanted to give 0 stars but i cant do that i dunno why

One star is honestly Generous for this game so cant even rate it any lower. this game used to be amazing. The tanks were amazing the guns were good and the tanks actually lasted against most weapons so that you have a chance at actually doing something and killing the enemy as well as giving you a fair chance at winning. Now even the most powerful hulls can literally be defeated within a few seconds by flamethrower or a freeze gun. As soon as you spawn and materialise there was not even a point in spawning as you would instantly be bombarded by flamethrowers or snipers which literally camp at the other side of the map or spawns. Its hard to progress when game rewards players extremely harsh with on
10 to 20 diamonds a game on average. Also i hate that you cannot do anything now due to being spawn killed as well as all the guns seeming to be nerfed. This game used to be good but is now not even tank. It has become another game that has gone down the money making hole as most games do. As well as putting players that do not pay like me under unfair disadvantages over the pros that have got equipment 3 levels above mine. Also it took me years to even get my first upgrade from m0 to m1 ridiculous and a waste of my life. This game should be sued for wasting time of my life that could of been used playing better games.

forget it played it for six years, worst game ever now. used to be fun but the developers are more crooked than a dog's hind leg.
Developers should be sued by someone.

Recently ranked to Legend. Great game if you know have skills enough to be nonbuyer. Otherwise keep complaining about buyer like it's gonna do something.
