Armored Frontline: Warzone launches heavy metal arcade action today on mobile

Why you got to hit me with those negative waves?

Armored Frontline: Warzone launches heavy metal arcade action today on mobile
  • Armored Frontline: Warzone brings arcadey tank combat to mobile
  • Jump into a variety of historical and modern tanks to duke it out for supremacy
  • Upgrade your crews and your vehicle, customising them to fit your tastes

For whatever reason, the tank is probably second only to the aircraft in terms of mass appeal. I suppose there's something of a sense of invulnerability (and lack of context about the aftermath on the interior) in combat that makes it so appealing. And Armored Frontline: Warzone is out now to capitalise on that!

Billing itself as a next-gen simulation of armoured warfare, if you've played World of Tanks: Blitz or others like it, you probably know what to expect. You'll drive a number of historical tanks into combat and attempt to dispatch the enemy before they do the same to you.

You'll also be able to enhance the abilities of your crew, upgrade and tweak the appearance of your tank, all while making use of controls designed for mobile and each tank's distinctive abilities. If you've been hankering for more metal-on-metal action, then Armored Frontline: Warzone may be what you've been waiting for.

Ablation

But, by that same metric, I'm not altogether grabbed by Armored Frontline: Warzone. The tank warfare subgenre already has a pretty dominant showing from other, bigger developers and publishers, and the screenshots currently available for Armored Frontline don't really impress (just take a look at the polygons on some of those mountains).

That being said, there's no real reason not to give it a go if you're a tank enthusiast. Especially since if there's anything my brief stint on War Thunder has taught me, it's that some people take the relatively loose simulation of vehicle combat just a tad too seriously. So something more arcadey, new and fun is very welcome.

Keeping up with new releases like this can be a hassle, right? Well, fortunately you can keep up with the newest releases before they actually launch. Simply keep an eye on our list of the best games in soft launch on mobile to see what we've picked out as the most notable and interesting.
