For all fans, who love high-octane action with armored vehicles, Massive Warfare is the only true multiplayer game, in line with such legendary classics as World of Tanks. Realistic tank mechanics, fast-paced battles, an in-depth tech tree and plenty of unlockable tanks and maps make this game a blast for the new and old fans with arcade or simulator preferences. Whether one is a casual gamer or serious tank commander, the game has something for everyone, being both accessible and offering plenty of depth to keep players playing for hours on end.

One of the game's highlights is the impressive array of customizable tanks that players have at their disposal, all of which are based on real life military machines. Players will be able to upgrade armored vehicles with advanced weapons, and take their battle to the next level with special skills, from stealth knocking on the opponent in the butt, to long-range artillery. This meticulousness continues onto the battlefield, with the ability to destroy environmental objects and observe time of day changes and weather effects, each introducing new tactical challenges. A building can blow up as cover under one well-placed shot; an unforeseen sandstorm, meanwhile, might obscure sightlines and cover the enemy's approach, forcing players to think on their feet.

Indeed, the spirit of Massive Warfare seems to be with its competitive multiplayer modes, pitting each team against each other in objective-led scrapes like Capture the Flag or Domination. The match-making system keeps the battles fair, with classic matchmaking support and additional clan support to add more strategy to the game, and prove who is the best. That the game is extremely well-balanced (no one tank or weapon feels overpowered, pay-to-win nonsense aside), and rewarding skill and teamwork is what genuinely makes the game special.

Away from combat, the game's character progression is immensely rewarding. There are daily missions, events and loot drops that ensure a cycle of rewards that makes the grind, more fun than tiresome. Graphically, the game's slick graphics, real world physics and blazing explosions make any battle come to life truth is always stranger than fiction.

It's difficult to be original in a genre oversaturated with simplistic mechanics, but Massive Warfare delivers thoughtful, action-packed homage to armored warfare. Lock and load your ammunition, get up your shells, and prepare to do battle, this is how tank warfare is meant to be.
