    It remains a highly entertaining multiplayer action game with plenty to offer even players who don’t pay a cent. The Switch port is solid, and looks and plays as good as you would hope. There are bits of the UI that betray its roots as a touch-screen game, but it works well enough. A bit of an old dog, but one that still has many good days ahead of it.

    World of Tanks Blitz takes the core gameplay of its full-fat forebearers and translates it fairly successfully to Nintendo's hybrid platform. This one's not going to win any beauty pageants, it's highly repetitive, there are some balancing issues and a pretty essential comms system is MIA but, overall, there's still a decent game to get to grips with here – especially if you like tanks, which, as we've already established, everybody does. With a huge number of tanks, countless upgrades and none of the absolute essentials hidden behind the game's premium paywall, there's literally hundreds of hours of tank-blasting action to indulge in that's well worth checking out for the princely sum of zero.

    Great if you are a tank enthusiast, but for everyone else moving a sluggish brick around a low textured map can get tiresome quickly. This is countered by the length of matches being short enough that a quick tactical battle can be done while waiting for the kettle to boil, and dived into if something a bit more spectacular is installing. Newcomers are going to enjoy the pick-and-play factor. Stalwarts are going to make the most of cross-save and cross play to add a few more layers and months to their experience. It'll stay on the system, but only likely revisited when frustration kicks in from major titles and taking it out on any poor soul that dared to challenge a Switch owner with a Pro Controller.

    World of Tanks Blitz is an interesting take on the World of Tanks formula. Those who enjoy the bigger PC game will most likely love the simplified version for the Nintendo Switch. It is very hard to look past the issues with progression in the game, however, which severely limit the impact of upgraded tanks. World of Tanks Blitz needs some polish before its on the same level as its PC counterpart.

There are lots of micro transactions, everything from buying new tanks to speeding up how fast you unlock modules for existing tanks to premium ammo (better chance of doing damage). The micro transactions are to be expeced, it is a free download and free to play. The game is a lot of fun but keep in mind you are highly dependentin your randomly selected teammates. This is what finally did me in. I don't play with the premium account and it really seems like the match making algorithm is weight to give premium players better teammates. Looking at my win loss and that of my teammates vs the other team has show this to be true .... A lot. I feel like I got what I wanted out of the game, but if you are the type to want to play and win, more often than not, then you might want to give this one a pass.… Full Review »

Consecutive 6-0, 7-0 games are common where your aiming is off, ghost shots, armor is lacking, unable to penetrate other tanks armor, etc. Very aggravating and not sure why they just can't let these games finish out.
