The military MMO Armored Warfare is our MMO of the month for December. What makes the new game special?
From now on, we will introduce one MMO or MMORPG once a month that we want to recommend to you this month.
For December, there were several candidates:
Thus, “the new Korean MMORPGs” Black Desert and Blade and Soul are slowly being prepared for launch – but they are only playable for a few days throughout the month.
In the established MMORPG Guild Wars 2 there’s plenty to explore, not only due to the Free2Play conversion but also because of the expansion Heart of Thorns.
Armored Warfare – the tank game with RPG ideas
However, we want to recommend a completely different game for December and that is Armored Warfare. It is a military MMO with various progression systems.
From an RPG perspective, one could say: there are tanks (funny enough, they are literally tanks), which can take a lot of damage but are slow.
Then there are fast but lightly armored vehicles that act as scouts and can flank enemies.
In addition, there is artillery, so to speak support, that fires from the 5th or 6th line.
It plays out like a combination of a shooter and chess; patience and smart positioning are more important than fast aiming and firing under pressure – though that also has its moments.
5 reasons why Armored Warfare is our MMO of the month for December
Armored Warfare is still very fresh. It is in an open beta, and most of you probably haven’t played it yet. Moreover, it is currently being rapidly expanded and developed.
Armored Warfare is a hidden gem. The game barely appears in the media, and there’s not much advertising. What people say about the game is overwhelmingly positive.
Armored Warfare is fun. The graphics and sound are up to date. Racing through desert landscapes, slightly veering left, and taking down 3 mud buildings has its charm (even though it’s actually terribly bad). The tank duels are also tactically quite clever and create thrilling moments with adrenaline. It’s hard to find a better way to kill 5-15 minutes at the moment than with Armored Warfare.
Armored Warfare is free. Anyone can download the game and jump in without paying anything – only those who want to progress faster can spend money for that.
Armored Warfare is incredibly satisfying. The game’s progression system provides great appeal. After the first matches, you can replace your tanks with “newer” ones. The models can be upgraded to a certain extent and then replaced with their historical successors. It feels a bit like unlocking “new classes” in an RPG.
