Having no real nostalgia for the particular era of computer games this evokes, the price and large unit selection is what got my attention. Then it defied any expectations of clunkiness or steep learning curve I might have had about what looked like "an old computer war game". The in-game tutorial is more than enough to get you up to speed in one short session -- but the whole design of the gameplay, feeling much like a board game, is very approachable. The loop is kind of simple compared to most war sims, but its roguelike qualities keep the game fresh with unpredictability and high stakes. Your tactics also have to change quite a bit from run to run, depending on your chosen (or randomly selected) tank. Special mention to the art. At first I thought the tank portraits were just pixel art made to look retro. Realizing that they're constructed out of PETSCII characters kind of blew my mind, especially with the sheer variety on display, and the entire game being rendered like this. I have a great appreciation for how these text characters are put to clever and creative use to represent the game world and effects.

Just the right mix of simple and complex to scratch that "just one more run" itch that roguelikes are known for.

Oct. 2024

The game is simple and fun. It's the type of game where if you don't have much energy, you can jump in and accomplish a lot, without needing to put a ton of thinking into it. You can put a lot of thinking into the game if you want and you will be rewarded, most of the time, but it isn't a requirement to play. The gameplay loop is solid and there's enough mechanics to keep you invested for long periods of time. Overall, I highly recommend the game.

Tank commander roguelike with a bit of a learning curve and a heaping dose of RNG... you can tilt it your way with smart play, but you're always one or two bad rolls away from instant death. Objectively correct way to play is with Player Commander (aka permadeath when you lose your Commander). I did so for the following story, along with limited vehicle selection, no "fate points", and normal AI difficulty. Story time: My German tank crew, under commander Walter Schrader AKA "Walt", has been together since their first campaign into Belgium in the early days of the war. Our gunner "Zim", loader "Lanz", and driver "Reese" all survived those harrowing early days, becoming a well-oiled machine of skill and precision under the hawk-eyed command of Walt. Our assistant driver, Theodore Blank AKA "Theo", had replaced a couple of unlucky souls right at the end of that first campaign. He seemed to have broken the curse of my assistant driver spot after surviving a few harrowing bailouts, where his predecessors were not so fortunate. Theo and the rest of the crew were together through the tail end of North Africa, surviving days of fighting withdrawals towards the coast in their trusty Panzer 4H that came with them across the Mediterranean. Then, despite losing a half dozen vehicles to American assault guns and Shermans, survived the entirety of the defence of Italy (with some scars to show for it). Now they fight on the Eastern front. After losing a Panther to an air strike, but all successfully bailing without injury, we were assigned a Tiger 1. A fearsome machine to be sure, and our Expert Mechanic driver could keep it going despite reliability issues. We were absolutely tearing it up with that long cannon, picking off hapless Russians through the mist before they could even spot us. Until one day, near dusk, we roll into a hex with a single enemy infantry squad. Nothing we hadn't done before... but these guys were ready. They ambushed us, despite the eagle eyed veteran crew members on watch. Before we could get hull down or pin them with MG fire, an anti-tank rocket fired from the bushes and instantly disabled us. Every member escaped unscathed... except poor Theo. Died on impact. Guess that assistant driver spot is still cursed. My band of veteran warriors still lives on, however. A new assistant driver, Klaus, has been assigned to our grizzled and battle-weary crew, but he hasn't been given a nickname yet... it'll be tough to fill Theo's seat, and with the odds becoming ever more skewed against us as 1944 rolls on, it's starting to feel like my crew's luck is wearing thin. Can't recommend this game enough if you can tolerate ASCII graphics and some XCOM-esque RNG. The attention to detail and mind boggling selection of vehicles is the icing on this roguelike cake.

10/10 Easily the most in-depth WWII Tank Simulation out there. I've logged more hours into this in the last month than any game I have played in the last 10 years. ACII is THAT good. This game is tactically sound and never gets old. The system is very tight, and I don't think it should be messed with in future installments. It truly is that good! The game has a wealth of campaigns with a lot of roleplay value if you decide to continue to fight in additional campaigns with your crew. The Tanks are well modeled and has a lot of 80s retro charm going for it. The only gripe I have is with the decorations. It just seems like they take a ungodly amount of time to earn.
