Put simply, Battle Supremacy is all about accurate representation of WWII tank warfare and gaining tactical advantage over the enemy. That’s not saying there’s no energetic fighting in this game – there is – but with a strong tactical twist to it that sometimes feels like a game of chess.
That’s why it’s definitely going to take some time getting used to the glacial movement speeds and slow turning times. Of course, WWII tanks were not computerized: these things were bulky and suffered from slow reloading times – talk about sacrificing speed for destructive power!.
The scope mode of course offers greater accuracy, but also leaves your vehicle vulnerable to enemy fire. It’s nice that your gunner handles the aiming when you’re driving the tank. There’re also fire and scope icons, the latter indispensable when engaging enemy tanks from far away. The virtual stick on the left controls your tank and the other one on the right pans the camera around. Those familiar with arcade games on iOS that tap the virtual joystick concept should feel right at home in Battle Supremacy. I could be nit-picking here as many folks won’t necessarily be annoyed by the occasional stuttering. I understand there’s a lot going on with greater environmental detail and additional visual effects on A7 devices, but I kinda expected a tad smoother performance. Falling trees will also give them away!Īlthough the game is optimized for the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air and Apple’s new A7 processor, the frame rate isn’t as smooth as you’d expect (yes, they’re using OpenGL ES 3.0).
The visuals also serve the tactical purpose of gaining advantage over the enemy forces.įor example, hide behind a building in order to buy yourself some time after finding yourself under heavy fire or outflanked by the enemy forces.Īs the environments are fully interactive, you can always run over fences and trees or destroy buildings in order to clear an escape route. Similarly, a plume of smoke billowing in the distance from behind a building could be a sign of the enemy tanks regrouping. The buildings and various other objects respond accordingly when gunned down or ran over. The real-world locations are accurately depicted – this is a sim game, after all. The changing weather sways the trees with the wind and the occasional snow and rain reduce visibility. The maps are huge – especially in multiplayer – and the open world stuns with intricate detail such as fish in the water, mountainside villages and big cities with tunnels and bridges and forests. We’re talking console-quality graphics here.
And yes, it’s an iOS-exclusive.īefore we dive into it, check out the trailer first.īattle Supremacy excels in the visual department – this game has an eye for detail.
