This game could cost money. I got this game a while back, but I didn't play it but once or twice, until recently. I forgot how fun this game is. The developer should charge money for this masterpiece. I'd gladly pay $5 for this, and even then I'd say it's a bargain. I'd pay $10 for this game. However, this game is free, so where can I donate?

This game is free and it has unlimited levels, you can make your own level in the level editor, you have 4 campaigns to choose from , and unlimited customization options, i do not see why you wouldn't get this game, its free. 9.5/10

To sum Tanks: The Crusades up, it's basically Wii Play Tanks but upgraded in every single way. More tanks, more weapons, more mechanics, and a level editor with sophisticated tank designs.
I found this game after watching a YouTuber call for more attention to Wii Play Tanks and boy was this everything I expected and more.
There are a few things that I think should be improved about it, such as stacked tank transformations sometimes bugging out and requiring that the tanks in question be deleted and remade, but overall it's a great game for free.
EDIT: If you try to push the editor too too far it will break on you, also there should be a way to share levels (if not crusades) in-game. Still good tho

this game is really good in my opinion
things i like about it:
1. the music
2. the level editor is insanely fun to mess with
3. you can make some really nice stuff with tank editor
4. i dunno what happened but multiplayer lag is practically gone
5. its free
6. arcade and versus is pretty fun
7. the tutorial is good
8. its very optimized: my low-end laptop from 2014 can run the game with 300 tanks, firefox and discord open in the background while still getting like 3 fps ingame
things i dont like about the game:
1. the main crusade (adventure) is too hard for the average player, even though i have 31 hours (which is a lot for this game) i still struggle at the adventure crusade
2. ever since v1.5.2, my game has been freezing for multiple seconds whenever starting a new multiplayer level as if its loading (this doesnt happen to my friend who has a slightly better pc and a newer version of windows10 than me)
3. there isnt much to do (aside from level editor and i dont think the average person is gonna spend all time editing levels) so i can see why the average player plays for like 10 minutes and then never touches the game again
4. the tutorial only teaches you the very basics so a new player has to figure out all the gimmicks of new tanks 1-by-1 and lose a lot of lives in crusades in the process
my suggestions:
1. make the adventure crusade easier but make a hardcore crusade with the current/harder versions of adventure
2. make a new tutorial crusade which teaches you about more tanks and objects, but not EVERYTHING
3. maybe add a bullet hell minigame to practice dodging?
overall: 8.5/10 game, i love it but theres obviously a few problems here and there
worth playing

Honestly just as good, if not better than wii tanks. The customization is awesome and allows you to make the wildest tanks ever. I only wish that it had steam workshop support so I could share my maps, overall 8/10

An extremely nostalgic game for those of us who had the Nintendo Wii. While there are some occasional issues in setting up online multiplayer, it is completely possible to do - which allowed me and some of my friends to have a great evening reliving our childhoods.
