“I loved this game overall, but sometimes there’s that one bug when a vital part that I can assemble just won’t show up no matter what I do, and it gets very annoying, especially if I’m assembling something like…”
“Weirdly satisfying but - and I cannot stress this enough - the game's UI hates each person individually and humanity as a whole. There's some pretty decent user-created guides in the guides section and reading those…”
“The tutorial at the beginning is lacking in information. if you are able to figure it out the game isn't to bad.”

“I wasn't really a huge tank fan before playing this game, but it made me a slight nerd for the stuff. Very fun game to get in the flow of. It's repetitive, but in a good way if you like that sort of stuff. Would love…”
“The fun of beeing able to tinker with such machines is quite an interesting experience. I also earned a lot about how tanks operate and how are they built. This knowledge only adds value to great price this game is sold…”

“So many glitches. The save game function doesnt even work properly. youll load your game to find your tank in completely random states of repair instead of how you left it, with the money you spent on parts gone as well…”

“It's a dress-up game but with tanks, not mechanic simulator. There's zero mechanical stuff - just clean rust, sandblast it and paint. You don't even need half of the tools - i never used a sledgehammer and i didn't even…”
“A fun game that gives more depth to the insides of a tank then other tank games do. my only recomdation would be to have all engines build the same with parts and not just a few that are high in part count.”
“In comparison to a few other mechanic simulator games I've played, this one is pretty jank. I got frustrated trying to make the game let me put all the tank parts in, highlighting parts I've already put in and not the…”

“After playing World of Tanks for the last 14 years, figured I'd give it a go on the mechanical side. Tried out my favorite Sherman for a few minutes. Whelp it's been 6 hours later and I've stayed up all night egarly…”
“Tank Mechanic Simulator is a great game. Yes the graphics aint the best. But its still something good to pick up during a sale.”
“Definitely get it on sale because it has performance issues, and a general clunkiness to it. The graphics are definitely the worst feature in this game; you get used to it after a while, but if you close your eyes for…”

— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“Its a cool concept but poor execution The game lacks a lot of simple things eg a prompt explaining what buttons do what. you ahve to google how to go into assemby and disassembly mode. The objectives can glitch so you can end up taking a loss on a tank you 100% repaired Theres…”
