The steam-powered tanks roll in with: Idle Panzer

Welcome to a strange idle game where you build a german designed tank from the ground up. Learning about the many different parts that go in these war machines. Then you go into the campaign mode with these partially built tanks and take on waves of enemies.

You earn money over time and every part you buy and upgrade increases the idle income you get. You can choose how many points you want to put into the item bar. Once you complete a part it can no longer be upgraded. You have to upgrade many parts to certain levels to be able to unlock new parts to build. You can also tap anywhere in the top screen to generate bonus income per tap.

On the second tab here, you can buy multiplier upgrades for each maxed part. This increases the amount of passive income you get.

After you upgrade a tank to a certain point, you unlock the campaign mode. This is a kind of tower defense game with a bit of a spin.You have to slowly unlock more tanks by progressing further along the bar.

Each level of the campaign has different tasks you have to do to complete it. You start off with 1 tank that will attack these random vehicles of war. You can also tap on the enemies to do damage to them as well.

When you click on the icon of the scroll you come to this screen. You have to use the coins you earn in this game mode to unlock new tanks once they are available to buy.

When you click on the icon of the tank, you come to this screen that allows you to upgrade how many coins you get while offline. You can even expand the idle time as well so you don't have to check in on the game as much.

The second tab allows you to upgrade your tap damage in campaign mode. Not much more to explain here.

The last tab is the upgrades to the tank. All the parts you have built up on the build screen increases the power of the tanks in addition to what you pay into here. There is an ultimate but I did not progress far enough to unlock this part of the game.

Lastly on the build screen if you click on the trophy you can then choose to prestige. It looks like the more you progress before you prestige the more bonuses you gain and are forced to start over from the beginning again.

Overall:

 4 of 5 cogs.

Overall, this game is a basic idle game with a couple of unique elements to it. From what I can tell, this game has an accurate representation of the parts of a tank. The tower defence like game is a different tank on and gives you a distraction from the base game.

Story:

 0 of 5 cogs.

You think there would be story in a game about building a tank from the ground up but there isn't any guiding force.

Amount of ads:

 none

As far as I recall there are no ads at all. No bonus ads either.

Accurate Advertising?:

💯%

The ads I've watched have been pretty spot on and is why I decided to review this game.

Graphics:

 5 of 5 cogs.

These graphics are fairly high quality 3d art with a lot of earthen colored textures for the main hud of the game. I love the graphics as there is a very heavy steampunk vibe from this game.

Gameplay:

 3 of 5 cogs.

It's an idle game with some small unique things but at the end of the day there is a limited amount of things you can do with this game to keep you from getting bored.

Free play:

💯%

Fun factor:

Are you an indy programmer or game dev?

If so, you can leave a comment or contact me on social media for a chance to have an interview with you posted to my blog. I am looking for many devs that focus on mobile programming. If you have a cross-platform game, that is fine too as long as it's on mobile.
