Without a couple of capable light tanks driving around the team will be answering fire instead of taking the first shot. Scouting enemy is a crucial part of the battle. They annoy enemy to reveal their locations and sometimes you can sneak behind the enemy to shoot them into their weak spots. Their role is to scout enemy tanks so that rest of the team can see them. Light tanks are fast and agile due to their light armor and weak gun. Based on the tank player chooses their role in a battle is either to scout, flank, charge or snipe. There are four very distinctive type of tanks in World of Tanks Blitz. Because the sessions are so short player doesn’t feel frustrated when their tank is not optimal for a particular battlefield and/or starting location. The lack of perfect map balancing is not an issue due to a very small investment of time needed from a player. Instead, the maps, which are thematically located in the Second World War battlefields, are full of graphical and structural variety just like in first-person-shooters. Unlike in MOBAs, the maps are not symmetrical or perfectly balanced. All the maps are compact to ensure short sessions though large enough to enable strategic team gameplay. Every map offers different tactics to different tanks. There is a dozen of maps in WoTB each with different characteristics of size, design, terrain, location, weather and land leveling. Each battle takes a maximum of six minutes, though without exceptions battles end well before the time limit. There is no respawning in WoTB, which means that after player’s tank is destroyed his active session is over and he may stay in the battlefield only as a spectator. Winning conditions are simple: a team has to either destroy all of the opponents or hold the central flagged area of the map for 100 consecutive seconds. World of Tanks Blitz is a battle on a randomly selected map between two teams of seven players. GAMEPLAY – The Perfect First Person Shooter for Mobile In this post, I deconstruct why the game is good and what keeps it from becoming great. World of Tanks Blitz makes the most out of touch screen devices offering players an experience that none of the other games are willing nor able to do.īecause World of Tanks Blitz has stayed mainly out of the top 50 grossing since it was launch a year ago, it has not received the recognition it deserves. There’s just the fun and engaging multiplayer battle where progress is made by playing instead of waiting. I love World of Tanks Blitz (WoTB) because it’s simply a great game. And like in any industry also game companies try to take the top spot by cloning the winning products, which is the reason for mobile gaming market turning into a rather boring war of clones.

App Store has been held hostage by a handful of top grossing games for years.
