★★★★★ Joseph Kiel · Dec 2, 2025
I've been playing this game for like 20 years. I love seeing the mobile version get updates, but I really want this on steam. I remember playing it on PC all those years ago
★★★★★ Michael Spyker · Jan 14, 2026
Keep making more weapons and maybe some new game mechanics!! Huge thank you goes out to Mr. Welch for always responding to feedback, thanking fans on social media and respecting all suggestions. You're a really down to earth guy with a real passion for gaming. Highly recommend you folks buy a ton of weapon packs to support the dev. He's kept the game alive for 2 decades and counting and your support would be great if you're reading this 😃👍
★☆☆☆☆ luke turner · Jun 22, 2026
Terrible, there's no way to aim properly. It's always too high, too low, not enough power, or too much power. No matter what you try you're gonna miss, meanwhile the bot tank knows where to aim every time, even on the easiest difficulty. Very boring and not fleshed out at all.
★☆☆☆☆ Hunter H · Aug 23, 2026
Edit: can't open app any more just gets stuck on loading suddenly :(After playing only complaint I have is that online matchmaking is dumb if you haven't purchased all the extra weapons packs. There should def be a standardized competition mode with same weapons for everyone across the board.
★☆☆☆☆ Eric Mc · Jul 25, 2026
Single player is super broken. The difficulty level seems pointless. In 10 games on every different difficulty the cpu only missed 2 shots, for reference that's a 98% hit rate. there's no point playing this if you don't have friends to play with. You'll just lose unless the cpu has garbage for weapons.

Note from the author:

I have been writing artillery games since 1993. I created Pocket Tanks in 2001, and thanks to the many loyal fans, it is still in active development to this very day. Please join me in my quest to make Pocket Tanks a classic artillery game that stands the test of time. Thanks to all who have supported BlitWise over the years.
