How it feels

You methodically restore rusted WW2 tanks with your own hands, step by step, in a satisfying, slow-paced simulator that feels like a workshop meditation.

What players say

Players praise the sense of scale from seeing tanks in VR and find the slow-paced restoration loop addictive, but many warn the game was abandoned by 2025 without updates. The VR version removes the tank-extraction mechanic from the desktop original and has bugs that can block progress, though some players note the developers were responsive early on.
