Content Rating
Rated
PEGI 7 for Violence. Violence that is not shown but is implied. This game allows the player to interact with other players online.
Users Interact: The game enables players to interact and communicate with each other, so may expose players to language usually associated with older rated games.
In the US, ESRB state: Players can use three different perspectives (e.g., top-down, third-person, and first-person) and several choices of tanks to navigate outdoor terrain and fire cannons at enemy vehicles. Long-range howitzers allow players to focus on heavy sniping activity, while light tanks can be used for maneuvering and exhausting foes. Battles are accompanied by large explosions, realistic radio chatter, and collateral damage to surrounding structures (e.g., trees, houses, fences); burning wreckage is left on the battlefield as tanks are destroyed.
Parents need to be aware that the game is often played with mixed age groups, and children may be engaged in conversation with adults if they use the chat facility.
12+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. Although the game is relatively simple in the form of its controls, in order to be successful in this game you require tactical thinking, and in some cases team planning which is more suited to a teenage and above audience.
World of Tanks usually costs £0 to £39.99.
This game is free to play, but there are other costs associated with this game:
-
In-Game Loot Boxes: Additional in-game purchases are offered for items that enhance the experience. These include in-game purchases of random items (known as 'loot boxes') that offer a chance of getting rare/higher-value items although common/lower-value items are more frequent.
-
In-Game Pass: Purchase a season/battle pass to gain access to limited in-game purchases, reward items and other aspects of the game.
To progress in the game you can earn points and experience to upgrade your tank. You are, however, also encouraged to purchase upgrades with real money, that can be expensive. It is possible to play for free and never be tempted by the random loot boxes known as keycards and the season passes and the gold purchases.
