These points represent the game’s only progression system, as they are used to unlock a myriad of upgrades, from more slots to store tanks on your property, to new tools to more efficiently restore tanks or just simple passive bonuses like discounts on repairs and new tank parts. By completing these contracts you not only get paid in cash, but you also earn reputation points. You have your own workshop where you take contracts to either repair/restore tanks or to extract tanks that were just found in the wilderness. The premise and the gameplay loop of the game are quite simple. Your whole workflow becomes quite smooth once you get the hang of everything. Everything can be pretty much done via a radial menu that allows you to check tanks’ stats, its interior, get inside the tank and switch between different seats, check your storage and order new parts, and even disassemble the turret module or remove the engine with a single click. You can select individual tank parts by left-clicking on them, and you remove them or assemble them by holding down right-click this is depending if you’re on assembly or disassembly mode. In terms of how it plays, the game is quite accessible and easy to handle. However, this system can simply stop working or keep on showing you the same tutorial message over and over again, which initially forced me to start over on a new profile. The game does have a tutorial system in place that gives you some guidance by presenting you with different contracts that approach each of the game’s mechanics. Simulator games can be daunting and sometimes people might even just walk away as soon as they know a certain game is a simulator, but while the word is in the name, Tank Mechanic Simulator is an extremely easy game to get into. By focusing only on tanks from the Second World War, the game also ends up allowing you to open your own museum and showcase tanks in there and even though this is not the main point of the game, it adds some extra flavour to it. Tank Mechanic Simulator is all about what you’d expect, given its name.
Games such as House Flipper and Plane Mechanic Simulator gave me quite a good number of hours of great fun, so I immediately got eager to get my hands on Tank Mechanic Simulator as soon as I heard about its existence. More recently though, as the genre has evolved, new games have found themselves stuck within this designation and so now, I’ve found myself enjoying a new wave of titles. Even though I’ve always enjoyed playing games like Euro Truck Simulator, I wouldn’t describe myself as a fan of the simulator genre.
