This isn’t as good but ok for 2D. ### 4/5 — Fun casual game *2020-05-12* The game is fast-paced and the levelling up is about right. My only gripe is it could do with some different weapon types. ### 2/5 — Needs an update *2020-01-01* Freezes after every match. User interface feels like it’s designed for the iPad screen; text and buttons are very small on an iPhone. Not intuitive. No tutorial on how to aim or move. There seems to be a wind effect on the projectiles, but there’s nothing to show wind speed or direction. Tank can’t seem to traverse even a small bump in the terrain. ### 4/5 — HellRazor *2019-12-25, version 1.4* Fun game. Enjoy the different terrain challenges. ### 2/5 — Need better tutorial *2019-12-19, version 1.4* Need better control of the tank...can’t make it stop when i want it to...if that function is available, need better instruction. ### 4/5 — Ok *2019-08-05, version 1.4* Good ### 3/5 — Need more fire power!!! *2019-06-27* ... ### 4/5 — Fun, but buggy *2019-05-04, version 1.4* The gameplay is fun, but the app freezes at the end of each round unless you zoom in on your tank. The last round will not let you advance either. Fix the bugs, and this is a 5-star game ### 4/5 — An enjoyable tank game! *2019-02-03, version 1.4* Lots of fun. Kind of wish there were more variety of upgrades available at lower levels. Overall it is a good game. ### 4/5 — Kinda, sorta like the old game *2019-01-16, version 1.4* Pretty neat. Has an annoying glitch where it seems to get stuck pretty regularly. But other than that. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggy *2022-04-07, version 1.4* Game is super buggy. Can’t seem to touch anything and make it work, just freezes ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-03-13, version 1.4* First off it doesn’t even work properly. Never mind that it difficult to see the controls. How is this even up on the app store ### 1/5 — What is this!?!? *2021-11-03* The controls don’t even work, it doesn’t give you a view of the entire battlefield when you do figure out how to shoot, nothing like the old 5” floppy scorched earth from back in the day. Load times lag big time too. The old pc wasn’t even this slow. Big fail. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t even get it to work *2021-10-23, version 1.4* Waste of time. Wouldn’t Los and the graphics and color scheme is awful. Deleted within 10 minutes of trying to play. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2021-06-10* Glad this pos doesn’t cost anything ### 1/5 — Painful *2021-04-24* They have made bells and whistles instead of a good game. ### 1/5 — Terrible wanna be game *2021-01-10* Read the title, DO NOT waste time down loading this game!!! I rated it one star only because you can’t rate it less ### 1/5 — How do you play?! *2020-01-25, version 1.4* There are no instructions anywhere to be found. The interface is not intuitive at all, and the game seems to respond at random. Tapping on anything does nothing, and when you do manage by sheer dumb luck to win a round, the only way to advance is by exiting out of the game and re-opening it. Movement happens out of nowhere. Coins are added or deducted without any rhyme or reason. If this is supposed to be reminiscent of the old “Scorched Earth” PC game, it’s a cruel joke. ### 1/5 — Glitch *2019-04-27, version 1.4* Glitches, shuts down every level, ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2018-10-06, version 1.4* Game designed to make you spend money on the things that actually make the game usable. Not a lot of fun if you’re not prepared to buy a lot of upgrades. Poor graphics For such a simple game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Scorched earth *2023-03-20* Fun game has few glitches but well worth the download but definitely glitches were it freezes ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-07-22, version 1.4* I love it ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2020-10-10* Brings you back to the old days so sweet!! ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2019-11-24* It’s simple to use, and just as much a challenge! Great to play or just unwind after a long day! ### 5/5 — Fun to play. *2019-05-29, version 1.4* I haven’t encountered any bugs. Fun to play. A good update to the old game. ### 5/5 — Scorched total recall *2019-01-10, version 1.4* Not what I was originally looking for! I was originally looking for an old game called scorched earth. However I’ve found this game to be a lot of fun. Simple and easy to play. Perfect way to kill some time. ### 5/5 — Reminds me of the original *2018-03-09, version 1.2* Very cool game. No bugs so far ### 5/5 — Addictive *2018-03-01* Nice little game, can 'dip in' and play an odd battle, usually you get hooked and play for half an hour or more! The new version came as a surprise - my tank suddenly didn't have nukes, but I can see why, the tank was too powerful. Not sure about the map yet, need an in game explanation for newcomers, I don't know what the stars mean, if you try to explore the map it throws you into a battle without warning ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and Free to play (no hidden charges for game improvements). ### 4/5 — Fun but tends to malfunction a lot on the Mac platform *2024-08-12* Fun short little game. Decent controls when they work. It’s difficult to select what you want on a iPhone 13 screen. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2023-08-15* I was looking for the old scorched earth and found this. Simple and fun. I wish there were more variety early on. Worth the download. Will binge for a while. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
