Tank Mayhem

Good 👍

fun game. graphics are simple but feels really smooth to play

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There are no available servers and no player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] "Tank Mayhem" is an unabashed, lazy ripoff of Combat (Copyright Atari, 1977), following the exact same formula... tank combat on a top down 2D plane, ricocheting bullets. A couple of gimmicks have been added but otherwise this is pretty much the same game, yet still somehow not as good, and as the data shows, a dismal failure here on Steam Direct. Many lazy "amateur" developers don't pay attention to their obligations under copyright law, and often steal the ideas of actual, real game developers without credit, such as the "developer" here has done. Putting aside the unethical intellectual, creative and moral bankruptcy of stealing someone else's game concept, this is also breaking that unwritten law of stealing other people's game ideas... you should at least try to do better than the game you're ripping off. "Tank Mayhem" is considerably worse than Combat. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $5 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 6 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. There's no financial cost up-front, but you'd still be spending your time and a little hard drive space on a product that's far from the best. There's thousands of better alternatives on Steam.

Infancia, GOOD!!!!

Прикольная игра, но нужны друзья, которых нет.

Definitely getting a throwback to my childhood with Tank Troubles! Been playing this with my siblings and its a great way to spend some time together. I guess the only caveat is that without people with you in-person, or online, the single player maps are short. But aside from that, all is good. Power ups are creative, and the option to customize to your liking is great! Would recommend for those wanting a feel for retro Tank games with a friend or siblings!
