The final straw is that Battle City sends an ad that takes over the entire screen anytime you try to quit or advance stages.Įven if you remember and liked the old version, this app's presentation makes it hard to like the new incarnation. Add in the fact that a good portion of the screen is covered by a nasty ad and you have a game with too many obstacles outside of the gameplay to contend with. It doesn't help that the controls will take up most of the screen on a smaller phone. It's helpful that the tanks are all on a loop, because the game's controls will sometimes misbehave, leaving your tank out of position.

Like many other NAMCO shooters, your goal is to guide your tank through a stage full of obstacles to find and destroy the enemy tanks. If you don't remember this game, that's because it was called Tank Battalion in most places. However, most gamers probably won't be drawn in. This game was not as popular as other NAMCO arcade titles back in the days, but if you do remember it from your past, this download might appeal. Battle City plays fine for an emulator, but its buggy controls and onslaught of ads don't do it any favors.
