In addition, If your energy is low and you want a quick break for 10 to 15 minute, then play one of these TB Hex games as it inspires you to try and out think the other tank commander's battle group! You also have the option of playing for hours the serious of tank war games. It's great for long trips and playing in airplane mode. Bottom -line : Anyone who rarely has the luxury of free time but enjoys a quick, fun, exciting, energy boosting, mind stimulation game; then I Highly recommend you give consideration to this game ( and all the other Hex Tank Battle related Games) JD ### 4/5 — Fun , but way too easy *2016-07-15* Folks while the game is fun, even the hard mode is simple as can be. Losing is hard! The tank battle game released prior to this one was very challenging. If you want to play a game that is easy even in the hardest mode, this game is for you. Prefer the tank battle game or Civil War 1863. At least victory is always in doubt ### 4/5 — NEW TUTORIALS ??? *2016-07-11* New tutorials will not unlock!!! ### 3/5 — Good game! *2016-04-04* I need to know when games are on sale! ### 5/5 — Excellent Game *2016-02-15, version 2.7* Love every feature of this game. No weirdness, no unexpected crashes, great balance between visual appeal and playability. ### 5/5 — Good game *2016-01-21* Similar to the real North Africa ### 5/5 — The best *2016-01-21, version 2.7* I am trying to get every game these guys have. So far they are all amazing. ### 5/5 — Fun,Fun,Fun *2016-01-03, version 2.7* Fun and takes some thinking to win. Love to play this in my spare time. ### 5/5 — Cheap, simple, addictive *2016-01-01, version 2.7* Really rather good ### 5/5 — Another great game from this company! *2015-12-28, version 2.7* Love the Middle Eastern music… It adds an authentic feel to the game. Awesome gameplay, cool tanks and vehicles… And challenging scenarios. Again, an awesome game ### 5/5 — FunTastyC *2015-11-16, version 2.7* I love it the more and more ### 2/5 — Great idea, buy their other games not this 1 *2015-11-12* Not as good as 1944, horrible balancing issues, goals are so restrictive levels become winnable with single boring strategies, would be better with larger maps to utilize more strategy options... Small maps make for lame battles. Would love to see this as campaign where I pick my units and they gain experience through each battle instead of so unrewarding vs dumb AI :) North Africa / Allied storm wins worst AI ever award... = none ### 5/5 — Fun and Challenging *2015-10-29, version 2.7* Really liked the game. Lots of fun. Pretty realistic for a game you can play on your phone. ### 4/5 — Tank North Africa *2015-09-14, version 2.6* A fun game with different levels of difficulty. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awfully imbalanced *2019-09-18* Enjoyed the PC version of this but by level 3 the enemy AI is so unbalanced that the game is impossible. PC version is well balanced by comparison so stick with that I guess. ### 1/5 — Tiny screen *2019-05-18* They had an update now the screen takes up about one squar3 inch on my iPad. Fix it pleas ### 1/5 — Last eat Update😠 *2018-12-23* I’m not sure what you guys did but you need to go back and check your stuff! tanks can no longer go through Barbed wire or fences! Causal play is no longer casual! It seems like German reinforcements come in on every game turn! ### 1/5 — Latest update - Tank Battle North Africa - FAIL.. *2018-12-16* I have been playing this app for a long time and it’s been amazing. But the latest update has slowed the App. The games changes sizes whilst you’re playing from normal size, and suddenly shrinks to tiny size. Also for example in the game Breaking In, the Tanks now can’t drive over the barb wire barriers but previously they could. Terrible. Needs another urgent update to fix the errors. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well *2017-11-04* This is more or less the same game you can buy in many forms, the ancient world versions work better than this modern era mash up ### 1/5 — Cash Grab *2017-04-18* This game is very high quality and fun to play. Until you realized that you payed 2 bucks, a fair price for an app, for 3 scenarios with 8 missions. The rest of the game is sold in pieces, all costing you another 2 bucks. In the end the base game has 24 missions while another 40 are sold of at 2 bucks a piece. Personally I would not dish out 12 dollars for any mobile game, especially considering I finished the main game in a matter of days. If you are itching to play get the free version which includes one of the missions you get with the 'full version'. This game was a huge disappointment and it's a shame the developers marked up such a quality game to outrageous prices. ### 1/5 — Good game, but.... *2014-12-05* This game only offers three campaigns, relatively short and with little replay value an the rest of them require purchase, if I'm going to pay over $6 on a game the goddamn game content better be exceptional, unfortunately I would not recommend purchasing this, get the lite version it's pretty much the exact same thing. ### 1/5 — Poor update *2014-11-09, version 2.3* Latest update doesn't work on iPad 1. Please fix and then I can rate back to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Update problems *2014-11-08, version 2.3* Just installed last updates on the following titles: Civil War 1863. Tank Battle North Africa. Tank battle East Front 1941, 1942, 1945. I am iPad 1 user, All above titles now fail to load up. The upgrade mentioned Rebels and Redcoats. Please sort out the glitch or I have wasted a lot of money. Ps I have all your titles so please help!! ### 1/5 — Something wrong! *2014-08-02* There is something wrong with AI in many missions, the German forces gets regularly enforcement, destroy huge number of the British one! While the British one gets minimal enforcement, if they gets! And destroys only a few, even if tanks are used against infantry!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Über die Jahre nett😇😎. *2018-11-08* Gutes Spiel mit sehr fairen Preisen. Ist seit Jahren ein treuer Begleiter zum entspannten Zeitvertreib. Recht realistisch und nicht auf Abzocke ausgelegt. Man zahlt einmal wenig und kann spielen, bis man genug hat... Die Tankbattle Reihe dieses Anbieters ist top. Ergänzungen kommen leider zu selten, aber sie kommen zum Glück noch. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2018-08-12* Good mix of graphics, the combat is well balanced and great fun, definitely worth playing. ### 5/5 — Excellent gameplay *2018-01-26* Excellent turn-based gameplay. Buy the game and play. No upgrades, gold, silver, etc. Just buy and play. This game would have cost $100's of dollars back in the day for development, materials, and distribution. Digitized, and already developed, the cost is now nearly zero. I'd like to see this company reproduce some old Avalon hill games, and offer some of their own older games like Veracruz. I'd also like to see a retro option where the counters have the NATO unit designation, instead of the little animations. ### 5/5 — Fast and Fun *2018-01-13* Easy to get the hang of this game, it's like a tabletop war game with miniatures, but all the rules and combat are built in, all you need to do is move your units by tapping the unit then the destination hex. Hexes you can move to are highlighted as well as enemy units in range. To fire you just tap the target unit. That's what makes it so fun, but also detailed with very different missions to accomplish with varying types of units. I love it. ### 5/5 — Battle tank desert *2017-02-03, version 2.8* Gioco divertente e bella grafica ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-12-07, version 2.8* Must have!!!! ### 5/5 — What a lovely game *2016-10-17* I enjoyed the lite version so much I brought the full version the same night. The graphics can be a little troublesome, particularly without the option or ability to zoom in and out. Otherwise well recommended. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2016-10-14* Well designed for mobile play....good balance of playability and tactics ### 5/5 — Great Game! Gold edition much better. *2016-08-10* Need to see games like this for: WWI Zulu Wars Alamo/Mexican Wars WWII Pacific Chriemea Vietnam Korea ### 5/5 — Lot of fun *2016-05-28, version 2.7* These games have the right amount of challenge and fun. Graphics are great. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
