Wee Tanks!

I bought the game for the nostalgia of sitting together on a couch and beat your friends up in local multiplayer. But Wee Tanks fails to deliver this experience. When we booted up the game the menu was unclear on where to find what we were looking for ... but after 2minutes we understood that the game modes are spread out everywhere in different sub-menus. "Okay cool, then we just need to open all of them up and see what they are used for, right?". So we opened almost all of them: - Limited Special XYZ Campaign - Classic Campaign - Legacy Campaign - Survival Mode (locked! needs level 10 first) - Map Editor - Map Editor Campaign - Tanky Town - Online Multiplayer There clearly is nothing that yells "Local Multiplayer, beat your friends in FFA or TDM" ... or am I blind? :') And sadly, none of the modes explains what they are about. We opened the "Limited Special XYZ Campaign", picked 4 tanks, and spawned -> Lets go ... but wait ... what's our goal? Does not look like TDM ... hmmm ... let's try another mode ... spawned in again, didn't understand what to do ... hmm. After a few tries we just came to the conclusion, that we probably need to create a custom map with the map editor first, which you can then use to play "local multiplayer; FFA / TDM". It's up to yourself how you feel about it, but for me this is bad UX. So we googled what we can do about it. Ah okay nice, we could simply download workshop content (pre-designed local multiplayer maps from the community) -> NICE thats what we were looking for :D But when we opened up the steam workshop page we had no immediate idea which of these maps are designed to be played in "local multiplayer; FFA / TDM". Some of them sounded like "this could be it" so we downloaded them (4 in total). But they did not appear in the game ... hmm strange ... we clicked through all the game modes again, but the downloaded maps were no where to be found ... so we restarted the game and suddenly we were able to find them in the "Map Editor Campaign" mode (where you weirdly need to filter for them. I think you should just show all maps and then let people filter down but okay). But when we tried to load any of the workshop maps, the loading screen crashed because they were created for older versions of the game and did not work. Yeah ... that was the end of our patience and we closed the game. We gave up to a poorly desinged menu. I am certain that this game is good. But in it's current state there is a lot of polishing missing where I can see that this hinders people from enjoying it -> Which is why I can not recommend it, sadly :-( Just make the menu simpler. For example, like this: Level 1: Online Play, Local Play, Map Editor, Settings, Specials Level 2: Cooperative, Versus Level 3: Show all the coop/versus game modes (whatever campaign, map editor campaigns, map editeditor FFA/TDM, classic campaing, legacy campaign, tankey town) Level 4: Show all the maps/levels that fit the selected playstyle & game mode I would heavily appreciate if you could use this feedback to make the game good :-) I happly switch my review to recommended once this improves and you provide some default maps to simply play on <3

I AM TANK

Davvero un gioco molto divertente. È semplice da capire, ma riesce comunque a tenerti coinvolto e a farti giocare per parecchio tempo. Le partite sono veloci e divertenti, soprattutto se si gioca con gli amici. Il gioco per Wii è stato la mia infanzia e giocando a questo mi sono e mi diverto ancora oggi moltissimo. Graficamente è molto carino, i comandi sono facili ed è un gioco fatto molto bene e molto piacevole da giocare. Lo consiglio assolutamente, soprattutto se cercate qualcosa di semplice ma molto divertente.

"Hey! Everything's great, the game is FIRE! But please make the cursor (crosshair) red or, even better, pink! It's impossible to play otherwise!"

DOESNT SUPPORT MY ASPECT RATIO THEREFORE PLAYING WAS DIFFICULT DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO SEE THE FAR LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE MAP AND BUTTONS IM USING A DELL LCD MONITOR SO IT MAKES ZERO SENSE WHY IT WOULDNT BE INCLUDED.
