World of Tanks is a multiplayer tank simulation shooting game. You control a tank in a war zone and try and destroy enemy tanks in online matches in a race for supremacy and points. The scale and strategy of the battles recreates a realistic theatre of war feeling where players enjoy working with comrades to outwit and outshoot the other side.

Gameplay involves driving a tank and firing weapons at enemies. You have access to a map of the area where enemies are clearly marked so you can plan your attack before visual contact is made. You play as a squad and use online chat to communicate. You can play as a group of friends, join clans or play just as an individual. You will need internet access at all times.

As the game has been around for a long time, getting started and learning the ropes is tough, as (although there is a good tutorial) other players can be very experienced even though this is alleviated with matchmaking designed to put you with players of a similar level. When you die in the game you have to wait until it concludes, although you can watch your team-mates.

World of Tanks is a unique experience. It's free to play (provided you resist the in-game purchases) has quality visuals, constant upgrades offering daily challenges and season additions. For those looking for a online team strategy game to play with others, it offers an exciting and skill-based challenge.
