Game had promise but now meh. Moving on ### 3/5 — Top 10 game *2026-03-04, version 60.1.0* I came back but lots of cheaters now because devs abandoned. Top leaderboards just a list of cheaters. They have no reload time and spam catapult and other weapons and also the secondary doesn’t have a charge time so they can spam frags or anything else. Too bad, game was great. ### 4/5 — Bring back the updates! *2025-11-20, version 60.1.0* I love this game, but it has many flaws, and the fact that it’s abandoned doesn’t help either. There is so many things that can be done to help the game, and I have plenty of good ideas that I’m sure other players will enjoy. I know I’m just a random person making a review, but just because it won’t hurt to try, I would love to sort of work in the team in some way. Of course, I’m not saying I want to be hired, I want to be a person to look to for ideas and concepts. If you’re a dev reading this, thank you for your time. I will be thankful for any consideration of my offer. ### 4/5 — Pay To Win *2025-08-08, version 60.1.0* A fun fast-paced game that I love to play, yet you have to pay a RIDICULOUS amount of gems to unlock 1 season pass for 1-3 items PER season. To solve this please do either of these: 1.Make earning gems a bit easier, or 2.Make it so that once you complete a season on the normal pass, you separately progress through the premium pass. Either way, BIG potential, ruined by pay to win. ### 4/5 — Good Aesthetic and Graphics *2025-07-09, version 60.1.0* By far the most detailed, “polished,” “fun-themed” tank “arena” game available while also providing some of the best stylized graphics of any game available, on par, if not better, than graphics of major mobile game competitors such as Supercell. The gameplay is smooth, fast-paced, seemingly “balanced” (though some weapons seem to have overall “roles” that are more efficient than others), plethora of different weapons, bodies/hulls, and cosmetics to truly customize your tank to your liking. However, for this game to truly succeed, which I thoroughly believe it should due to this game’s sheer level of good quality, the reward system needs a heavy overhaul. Currently, your upgrades require 25 “coins” per level before requiring a “major” upgrade of roughly 200 coins (which will increase as you raise the item’s level) before getting to move to another set of three “minor” upgrades. Meanwhile, a “season” selection is used to allow the player to unlock new weapons, hulls, and cosmetics that functions similarly to a “battle pass” in many other games. Unfortunately, this “season” system will typically take around 2000 points to completely finish a “season,” of which you’ll typically only progress by about 5-15 points per match, meaning it would take around 200 matches to complete just one season. Due to the “coin” shortage and the unnecessarily slow progress of the season, I’ve found that this game’s “player economy” to be atrociously slow. Yes, a lot of this is free (though even seasons that require payment may also require 2000 points), however, in comparison to other “free” mobile games that have “time sinks” (Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, etc.) the rate of progress is tied to the amount of time spent on the game, with a more active game like Brawl Stars (which requires actively playing the game instead of largely waiting as with Clash of Clans), the rate of progress is relatively fast, which is not something that Pico Tanks replicates. Simply put, Pico Tanks needs to increase the rate of earning in nearly every system (coins, season points, etc.) by at least 5x. Yes, this would seemingly affect the longevity of the game by shorting the time to the “end game,” but, ironically, if players find that the progression will take too long that may quit at the start, which makes any long progression pointless. If the economy system was faster, the irony would likely be that more players would stick around for the “long-term” as they would be able to make satisfying progress in their upgrades and seasons, which, once they determine that the game is a “worthwhile” investment, may be more willing to spend money on purchases. Ultimately, this game desperately needs a 5-10x increase in the player’s gain rate of coins, season points, etc. Other than this economy issue, the game is wonderful. ### 5/5 — Wow *2025-06-24, version 60.1.0* Used to play it it’s rlly fun but now I can’t login i get stuck on loading screen why is this devs help ### 5/5 — Love this *2025-06-19, version 60.1.0* Good game but I don’t like how the mammoth takes so long too move to the other side of the map please update it. Thanks for this banger game ### 2/5 — Too high of a paywall *2025-05-16, version 60.1.0* Simply put, the value of the game does not exceed the price tag you are putting on it. What’s the point of offering all these modes and seasons if the player has to pass an extra paywall to access it? There is no reason why you should have to pay that many gems for a season pass and there is no good reason why there is not a option to buy one package for all modes you wish to unlock. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-05-07, version 60.1.0* Good game ### 5/5 — wow a cool gam i luv it *2025-05-04, version 60.1.0* gam so cool i luv blast noobs with a cannon ball ### 5/5 — The best game *2025-05-01, version 60.1.0* I love it so far but I would make the speacil tank body not behind a pass ### 5/5 — If you like tank games get this game!!!!! it’s really good 👍😃 *2025-04-11, version 60.1.0* If you like tank games, this is the game for you!, but sadly there are a few downside #1 some times the game freezes up but for only a few seconds during arcade and it’s is a pvp game so it’s not a good sign but it doesn’t happen every match its like every 1 match so if you’re not lucky you might get killed.#2 to get a tank body/head/special first you need to unlock it second you have to use research to get it third you have to buy it fourth you have to wait hours or even days to get it.#3 I don’t think there is a number three 🤣😂 but if there is I’ll make another document I do have a tank part to recommend and it’s the walker body It’s rarity will be epic You will unlock its blue prints at level 170 It’s health when built is 4800. It’s health at max value is 6800. Its speed when built is 110. Its speed at max value is 130. Anything else is up to you 😉 ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-03-31, version 60.1.0* You should add a tank Royale ### 5/5 — Pico tanks *2025-03-12, version 60.1.0* Pico tanks is amazing 😃 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great, but….. *2026-04-24, version 60.1.0* The gameplay is good and very interesting, but the game can glitch and you can lose your stuff. I got a premium skin and when I came back a few hours later it removed it and I lost weeks of grinding. ### 1/5 — No more Players *2026-01-23, version 60.1.0* Why I can’t play any human? There is no more playing in this game? ### 1/5 — Dumb *2025-09-20, version 60.1.0* This game is bugged because I keep getting killed by nothing I am never playing this ever again ### 1/5 — Wow devs *2025-09-08, version 60.1.0* So you basically look at a loading screen more than you do have game playtime, Playing verse bots the rounds are ridiculously short, which equals very little fun almost no fun The PVP matches much like many mobile games extremely unbalanced again very short and just overall not fun. I mean if it’s unbalanced, how is it fun? It takes far too long to earn credit to upgrade items and of course there’s a pay option because like all mobile games has to have a pay option, right.. The game had potential until the developers ruined it ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-05-24, version 60.1.0* The enemies has been toxic and and hacking ### 1/5 — Brawl stars but a lot worse *2025-03-12, version 60.1.0* Even more manipulative and pay to win that brawl stars (somehow), and the movement controls feel like you are moving through mud. ### 1/5 — An Abandoned Game *2025-03-10, version 60.1.0* Pico tanks have been abandoned now, it used to be a great game but the developer's abandoned this game, because they want more of us, user's money, money, money! # Pico Tanks is Abandoned # ### 1/5 — Manipulation machine *2025-03-08, version 60.1.0* Designed to get you to spend money. I doubt this game play is legit feels more like classic conditioning. You would have to be a fool not to see the patterns. Game play is so contrived!!! Aiming, phantom tanks, lag, bots, lots of bots, juvenile living players, useless rewards, etc.!!!The rewards for winning are mostly useless cosmetics. You might as well not play most contests if you don’t pay. The game play is determined by AI targeting preferences and over powered weapons. This strategy is used so much in phone apps. I hope you are secure enogh not to fall for it. Do not spend money on this game!! How is the most recent review? Also the most popular and it’s been up for less than a week ridiculous. This is all nonsense. ### 1/5 — game can not opened on ios12.5.7 iphone6 *2024-11-21, version 60.1.0* game can not opened on ios12.5.7 iphone6. ### 1/5 — Too slow to level up *2024-11-15, version 60.1.0* Takes way too long to earn rewards. Got to play a 50+ games to level up a rank ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I can't accept the lack of updates. *2026-07-26, version 60.1.0* Hello panda arcade, I am your huge fan from Russia, in this review I want to say that I really loved pico tanks as a child, and I would like you to continue promoting this gorgeous game someday, I wish you success in developing future projects, and I hope pico tanks will not stay away.. ### 5/5 — Awesome tank game *2026-04-11, version 60.1.0* This game is so fun with all the different customization options, and modes. There aren’t an insane amount of ads like some other games. It’s always fun being able to unlock a new item because all of them have cool strengths. ### 5/5 — Update *2026-02-27, version 60.1.0* I love this game and I played every day. Would love an update!! ### 5/5 — I hope the dev pick up this game again *2026-02-08, version 60.1.0* I am willing to spend lots of money to support ### 5/5 — Fun game to play with friends! *2026-01-30, version 60.1.0* Highly recommended game! Could you enable feature like gift (season pass) to friends please? ### 5/5 — Bom jogo *2026-01-16* Sem anúncios no meio do jogo, jogabilidade boa e intensa ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Good uid *2026-01-02, version 60.1.0* Although so many bots but it’s a high quality game better than brawl stars may be hopeupdate ### 5/5 — I know you’ll enjoy it! *2025-12-31, version 60.1.0* Although there isn’t many people online nowadays, I believe that this game deserves better. It has been fun to play with friends and progress through the game by myself also. It isn’t pay to win unlike other popular games right now; it just takes a little time to get good stuff. If you’re reading this please give this game a try. I hope you’ll enjoy it! ### 5/5 — Best PvP game! *2025-08-16, version 60.1.0* I’ve played this game for years now off and on. And there’s a reason I keep coming back to it. There’s nothing like it out there. You don’t need to pay to play, just watch videos and collect gems and just be patient. And once you reach the top level for your tank and weapon you’re at the same level as everyone else and it just comes down to skill. Developers have stopped adding stuff ( tanks, weapons,accessories). Maybe because not enough people are playing but hopefully that changes. ### 5/5 — Wsp please read *2025-07-24, version 60.1.0* So hey guys this game is so I amazing I started playing when it first came out but know it had evolved so much I have been playing for a while and the creators keep up a good pace and the game is not pay to win at all this game takes time for you to get better but it’s worth and you’ll love don’t listen to those negative reviews just get the game and try it out and I’m sure you will love it so Thks for reading!!!
