What the game is and who it suits
Hills of Steel is a free tank action game for Android built around physics-based combat. You drive armored vehicles across battlefields, shoot at enemies, and collect loot along the way. The Google Play listing shows more than 100,000,000 installs and 413,024 ratings, and rates the game Everyone 10+.
It suits players who want fast, action-heavy tank fights more than slow tactical play, and who enjoy working through campaigns and competing against other people.
Choosing and upgrading tanks
The game offers a range of tanks, from classic war machines to futuristic mechs. The listing names Cobra, Joker, Titan, Phoenix and Reaper among them, and says each tank has its own abilities and weaponry.
You improve a tank with upgrades to speed, firepower and armor, and with special weapons. The listing ties loot collected in battle to upgrading tanks.
Arcade, Versus and weekly Events
Arcade mode is the fast, action-focused option. Versus battles are described as strategic, and the listing separately mentions PvP fights against other players.
Weekly Events run each week as a set challenge, and campaigns take you through a sequence of battles against waves of enemies.
Physics, shooting and terrain
Tank movement follows realistic physics, and projectiles explode with physics behind them. The listing presents this as a core part of the combat.
Battles take place on varied terrain, from historic battlefields to the Moon. The same physics applies across these settings, according to the listing.
Clan warfare and leaderboards
Clan Warfare lets you team up with friends, form a clan, and fight together against other players.
Leaderboards rank players, so you can climb them and compare your standing with other tank commanders.
