In terms of gameplay, for a free to play title, World of Tanks Blitz is a reasonably solid affair. You'll start out with a handful of low-level tanks, engage in strategic battles that task you with capturing bases and blowing enemy vehicles to pieces and then jump into dizzyingly vast tech trees with your accumulated XP in order to upgrade, unlock and improve in a cycle that will take you several hundred hours to see through with every bit of hardware on offer. However, these small modifications aside, this is much the same game that people have been playing incessantly for the last decade. World of Tanks Blitz takes the tried-and-tested multiplayer gameplay of its full-fat forebearers and streamlines it for mobile play, reducing team numbers from fifteen per side to seven, shortening match times and decreasing map sizes. It's a series that's been ported to just about every available system in order to service humanity's deep and insatiable love of the tank, and now it's the turn of the Nintendo Switch with this port of 2014's World of Tanks Blitz. This is a hugely popular series, then, with a long and prestigious history which our very own Gavin Lane, driven almost entirely mad by his uncontrollable love of tanks, recently wrote a feature on which you can read here. Go out on the street right now and ask anyone, you won't find a single person with a bad word to muffle through their face masks about these glorious war machines.īelarusian developer Wargaming has cleverly tapped into this undeniable fact with its long-running World of Tanks series which, as of the latest official count, boasts over 160 million registered commanders and has seen around 10 million players online concurrently.

If there's one thing we can all agree on during this most confusing of times on planet earth it's that everyone and their granny absolutely loves tanks.
