Gameplay

Keep the flag for as long as possible!

Play as a tank and fight in a team against all of the opposing tanks to keep hold of the flag. Pick up the flag and hold it to score points. Kill the opposing team and make sure they don’t get the flag. If they do happen to pick up the flag, shoot the member holding it so they die and drop it. If your teammate has the flag, you have to make sure you protect that teammate so they don’t drop the flag. Survive until the 2-minute timer ends!

Graphics

The graphics are pretty standard!

The graphics are quite standard for this type of game, but they’re great and I thoroughly enjoyed the aesthetic. This is a shooting game that can definitely be loved by anyone of any age due to its cartoon-like graphics and how it’s not violent at all.

Music & Sounds

During the gameplay, there is no music, but you can hear sounds coming from the tanks like shooting and the engine. I like that there’s no music as I’m not usually a fan of music in app games as it is. The sounds are all very relevant to the gameplay too.

Controls

The controls are easy to follow!

Drag the left joystick to move and drag the right joystick to aim and release it to fire. You can also auto fire by tapping it which I felt more comfortable with. Next to the right joystick, there’s a button that allows you to equip abilities and power-ups to help you through the match.

The Verdict

What did you think of Pico Tanks?!

If I had to compare Pico Tanks to another game, it would definitely be World of Tanks Blitz MMO. They both have a similar concept with destroying the other team’s tanks, however, the graphics aren’t as good. Surprisingly, I prefer Pico Tanks as the games are shorter and the controls are a lot easier to use.
