What’s It About?
In this arcade style game, kids control a green tank set into a fighting “world” with opposing tanks using virtual d-pad and tap, or swipe and tap movements. Players use the d-pad or swipe to move their tank, and tap on targets to fire off a shot. Fighting worlds incorporate barriers for cover, and numerous levels continue to challenge.
Is It Any Good?
TANK HERO isn't a game that will win any awards for the depth of its gameplay, but as far as fun diversions go, it's a great one. As much arcade as it is action, the game forces players to constantly move to avoid enemy fire, but to properly maneuver their tanks into positions where they can take out opposing forces.
The result is a game that's intense but not stressful or frustrating. It's fun, and there are enough levels to keep players satisfied, especially with the game's low price.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
