The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Tank Hero is an arcade-style tank fighting game where players attempt to destroy all other tanks before they are blown up. The game is single player only, so there is never any aggression directed at other human players. And while the focus of the game is certainly a violent one, it's done in a benign manner, rather than one that glorifies the explosions. Users can share high scores via the Game Center social network, but participation is optional.

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.
