Threads of War

An interesting representation of Battle City from my childhood, made in a Ukrainian style, that at the same time depicts the russian invasion in Ukraine during its first year. Developed by Ukrainian developer, no russian localization in game.

An engaging game that’s well worth its (modest) price. The music is delightful, and the gameplay is simple yet thoughtfully designed. Definitely has the Battle City vibe for those who played it back in the day on NES. If you enjoy games of this genre, it's a safe bet you'll like this one.

It is fun to play, the mechanics are well thought through and the aesthetics fit very well! Edit: My previous issue was addressed in the latest patch, thank you dev :)

Checked out this game in 2024 GameOn in Lithuania and have been waiting for the relase. Glad it is here now. Great interpretation of one of the classics. Looks beatiful and plays well. Love the music, the presentation, and the message.

A nice retro Battle City like game with an Ukrainian cultural flavor. It takes a few levels before the strategic depth starts to show. Slava Ukraini!

Surpsingly good, I would even say true hidden gem. Don’t let it simple look fool you – [i] it is way more[/i] than just a BattleCity reskin. In that rough looking, 8Bit format we have semi-realistic modern tank battles with artillery support, mines, drones and infantry. You need to watch your ammo reserve, use covers and ambush tactics instead of trying to simply outshoot your enemies. The game even has some Rogue-lite elements with upgrades randomization and such. [b]Way deeper and fun than it looks. Totally recommend[/b]

I have fond memories playing this type of game on my old phone. This game is a greatly upgraded version of old classic with thematic overtone. You have beautiful style, progression and upgrades, story in the style of old DOOM games (but sadly based on horrifying reality), interesting maps and enemies. Recommend for all players who are interested in this old school tank games.

This is probably the best top-down tank game I've ever played. Runs great on the Deck. Gameplay is a lot of fun. The game's presentation and art style are uncompromisingly soulful and wholesome while providing loads of tank action. The level editor provides infinite replayability. I used to play Battle City often, and Threads of War has the playstyle but offers a truly great atmosphere while telling a true, harrowing story in a family-friendly way. I'm also proud to support the devs and the defenders of Ukraine by buying this game, which gets ten out of ten stolen washing machines as my rating. Glory to the heroes! 🇺🇦

Works great on the deck. Tip though: use the dpad not the stick to move, it's too easy to accidentally turn the wrong way at the vital moment. Feels more NES controller that way anyway! I can see from the leaderboard I'm still *terrible* at this after 90 minutes but keep coming back for one more run and every step further brings another layer of complexity. The game rewards tactical thinking, with ambushes and traps seemingly important, but then they throw in drones so you have to rush to take out the command centre, artillery you have to figure out how to work around and upgrades that can completely change your play style (ie shoot over walls, snipe from distance, pontoon over rivers etc etc. and then out of nowhere one of the little bastards has sneaked being you unnoticed and is closing down on your hq! I'm looking forward to getting one step further and finding some other new barrier to overcome. Brings me back to 8-bit gaming, where a seemingly simple concept is rolled into a t...

The game has exciting tank battles and the tributes to the people who defend their homeland create an immersive atmosphere. The music is wonderful as well. I can't get [i]Oi u luzi chervona kalyna[/i] out of my head anymore.
