How does it Work?

"If you've not already played this brilliant, heart-wrenching game, then mobile is as good a place as any to let it completely destroy you." - , 9/10, Pocket Gamer UK

In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.

The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.

Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.

This War of Mine: Anniversary Edition

It's been two years since This War of Mine global release and we're still expanding the experience. This new free DLC, created especially for the Anniversary Edition, adds new characters, new locations to explore, and most importantly - a whole new ending, leading to a different outcome to the game. The dilemma though remains the same – how far will you go, to protect the ones you care about?

Key Features:

• Inspired by real-life events

• Control your survivors and manage your shelter

• Craft weapons, alcohol, beds or stoves – anything that helps you survive

• Make decisions - an often unforgiving and emotionally difficult experience

• Randomized world and characters every time you start a new game

• Charcoal-stylized aesthetics to complement the game's theme

This War of Mine experience is now broadened with "The Little Ones" expansion. "The Little Ones" explores the hardships of wartime survival as seen from an entirely new perspective―that of a child. This DLC puts you in charge of a group of adults and children stuck in a besieged city, struggling with basic necessities. TWoM: The Little Ones focuses not only on the reality of enduring war, but also on how even in times of conflict, kids are still kids: they laugh, cry, play, and see the world differently. In addition to thinking about survival, you'll have to summon your inner child to understand how to protect the little ones. Their youth, and their future, are in your hands.

• Experience the biggest expansion to This War of Mine

• Protect innocent children

• Craft toys, play with kids, and be the caretaker they need

• Meet new adult civilians in scenarios with children

PLEASE NOTE: This game is optimized for latest devices. While playing on older devices such as iPhone 4s or iPad 2 you might experience lower frame rates.

    Title

    This is the first game that gave me uncontrollable happiness and in the next five minute crippling depression. This is by far my favorite game but of course there are a few dislikable features. Every now and then one of my survivors will decide that they would rather teleport just to eat a chicken leg from the fridge, and every-time I give one of my depressed survivors a pep talk while they are sleeping they slowwwwwly get out of bed then INSTANTLY fly back into the bed in a way I can only describe as supernatural! Although I understand it adds a sense of helplessness I was really hoping you could add a somewhat limited speech while scavenging especially when at the elderly couple’s house when the man is asking you all those questions and you just stand there staring at him. I know it would be hard but I was wondering if you could use more diverse perspectives like maybe a soldier, rebel, or even a doctor working in the hospital. I would recommend adding companions like dogs for increasing happiness and for scavenging. And last be most certainly not least the constant language is quite disturbing . I don’t know why you think people cussing non-stop is enjoyable along with the sprayed F word occasionally placed on walls and in the menu. Especially for me it does not add anything so I suggest you just take out all bad words. Thanks!

    Top notch IOS Game

    I’ve been on a IOS game hunt lately, buying anything that remotely interests me, and I came across this. Never heard of it, but thought it looked interesting for a quick play. Price almost threw me off but I figured for that much it has to be a good game. I was not disappointed in the least. It took me away from every other game I was absorbed in, Monster Hunter, Final Fantasy Tactics, Morphite, all of those games got quickly thrown to the back burner and I got sucked into this. It’s really good, intense at times, you actually feel like your actions make a difference, and if you don’t plan ahead, it could cost you. It makes the experience really immersive which is hard to find in an IOS game. I have very few issues now and again, but nothing that made me hate the game in the slightest. A few crashes here and there, but that’s it. I see a lot of reviews where people complain about certain things and giving it low stars, don’t read too deeply into those. Most of he complaints come from them not understand some of the game mechanics, and expect their hand to be held. This game won’t do that, you have to teach yourself how to survive, just like you would in real life. You adapt and overcome. If your even slightly thinking of trying this game out, go for it, it’s worth every penny. Enjoy

    Deserves my 5 star rating.

    Lets start with the price, it was a bit of a turn-off for me at first since I like games that allow trials first before you pay. After purchasing, playing, dying, playing then dying some more I realized two key things that separates this game from the rest and that’s how each replay is different from the last and the emotional bond you create with your characters throughout the gameplay (this is being typed from a emotionless person). You feel the suffering, conflict, and choices they each make. You are not a alpha, but at times you make alpha choices. I have the worst internet connection possible and have had no issues playing the game, so that is a plus for anyone with connectivity issues aswell. Overall, a money tight-wads opinion like myself would say that this game is beyond getting, you will not regret it.

    Amazing Game

    First of all let me just say that this game is amazing for only being $0.99 most games like that are fun and all but in order to play and beat the game you need to buy more. This game doesn’t do that, I got the game a couple of days ago and am already having a blast. If you life a game where you have to make tough decisions about what to build and when to build it and who to trust and not to trust then this game is for you. I have to admit there are so difficult times in this game but that makes it all the more fun because you don’t finish the game quickly. Another plus to the game is that you get to play different stories and not just one, I love this game and give it 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who is up for a challenge!!!

    This hits hard

    Up until now, i have never imagined myself living & surviving in the war-torn country. In this game i made so many difficult choices that even in real life, i was still thinking about that choices that i made. Robbing the old couple’s house was one of them. Marko died when he went to scavenge, so i had no choice other than rob their house, as i know they wont attack back. I am sorry.. For people reading these reviews and trying to decide whether this game is worth to buy or not, it is worth it!. Not only that this game transports you to live during the war, but also moral values and life lessons. Kudos to the developer for making this game, please keep doing what you are doing, and support this game in the future ❤️

    Amazing, but needs tiny fixes

    I absolutely love this game. It’s one of the only games on my device that I haven’t left alone for awhile. My only problem is that there are tiny little bugs still roaming around. For instance, in places like St. Mary’s Church or the Hotel, stealing from bandits will cause a morale penalty. I just ask that these minor bugs be fixed. Also, I hope that one day custom scenarios will be added onto mobile. I know that Emilia and Anton, and Cveta if there are no children, basically have barely any useful traits. Yeah, Anton sets traps faster, Cveta can get more help from neighbors and is great for consoling other survivors, Emilia is one of THE MOST unsympathetic and ruthless people out there, so she can steal and kill with literally no effect on her morale state once so ever. But I feel like perhaps a little more advantages could be added to these three characters. Anton could also get more food from traps and has a slight speed boost, Cveta is already pretty fast and consoling, especially with children, so maybe raise her inventory size to 10, and Emilia could maybe have the ability to give people logical reasons to adjust their morale compass and reasoning bad actions so their morale doesn’t drop that low. And, I know. It’s war, and not everyone is going to be useful. Just please, devs, at least read my suggestions about Anton, Cveta, and Emilia.

    Iphone XS support

    Played the heck out of this game when it first came out. Just saw that this game said it had iphone X support. Since I just upgraded from the 6S to XS, I thought I might give it another go. Unfortunately, the screen is moved to the side by an inch which leaves a blank space. This wouldn't be a problem, but in order to click the buttons that are near the blank space, you have to click in the blank space. It’s like half of the screen can be clicked where you want. And the other half has to be clicked to the right a little. (Ex: on the main menu screen, clicking on the setting button causes the credits to be clicked—which is the button to the left of the settings button). The game is still amazing, and a few button placements don't take away from the powerful story and game. Just hope the developers fix this small issue.

    So much survival fun!

    It’s like what Fallout Shelter should have been. It’s a full fledged game worth the $14. Constructive criticism: The gameplay seems a little skewed. Everyone gets depressed so easily and will stay depressed forever. No amount of talking or sleeping helps them it seems. Not even if you manage to feed them. There’s not enough cheer up options that aren’t expensive like a guitar, I’ve still not found where to get parts to make one. You can’t get food without murdering anyone and there’s areas that need a saw but you need to kill to get enough supplies to be able to make it long enough to get the saw but the characters are overcome by grief at that point and wounding each other in fights lol. So it needs to get a little more fair- maybe the trader could actually bring these premium items that can be traded for jewels, liquor or cigarettes ?

    Great but buggy

    Loses a star for all the bugs. Been following this game since its early pc days. Absolutely love it. That being said, the constant bugs that I encounter during game play really take away from the glory at times. Here’s some I regularly encounter: -when game is minimized and brought back up, screen is black but game sound and music is playing. -when attempting to bandage a wounded character, the progress “wheel” gets stuck in perpetual action, never completing, never healing or applying the bandage. I also cannot force the character out of this perpetual loop. If i get another character to heal a character then both characters are then stuck in this loop. So i have no choice but to either restart the day or just end the day. Intermittent. -when game is minimized and brought back up, its like it “timed out” or i chose to quit and i have to restart the latest day all over again. Intermittent. -when game is minimized and brought back up, no sound from gameplay or music can be heard at all. Obviously losing progress is my biggest peeve since save points are sparse as is one of the intended functionality behind the game. But seeing how this is now a mobile-able game, it should be able to handle being minimized with no issues.

    Disable survivor depression option

    Great game overall!!! I have to ask though that you add a option to disable the survivors depression since I am attempting to do this challenge in the game where I go on a rampage and try to kill everyone I see but I am unable to do so due to my survivors getting broken easily. Also can you add a option where we get to customize the length of the war, winter or hostility level. I have a few other ideas for what direction this game should go in such as maybe a zombie dlc where you play in a post apocalyptic town. I mean come on guys you have so much potential for where this game could go next. Add some more stuff to it!!!!!

    Game crashes ruin it

    I was really looking forward to playing this game. Everything else is fine to great, but the game crashing at multiple locations when chosen to scavenge is so frustrating. First, you lose all progess since returning from the last scavenge. Second, it blocks off whatever supplies and stories those locations contain ruining the long-term game (which I have yet to get to due to there always being at least one location that crashes the game on any map). This is probably the first online review I’ve ever written because I want to enjoy the game and hope typing this review will be seen by the right person. I read updates referring to “Day 42” and I can’t enjoy the game past day 15 due to glitched locations. Not at all worth $15.

    A great presentation of the same old

    After reading a few reviews you may feel this is the greatest experience you have yet to witness on mobile.... I didn’t see that and I definitely wanted to but it just felt like a really high-quality but basic survival game. Matrix rules, the things you need to survive are not all based in actual reality but in the reality of the game and therefore and like many other games you find yourself mastering the game not the situation the game is trying to present or put you in. Case in point you need more than you would actually need to start a fire and say cook a hotdog. Like other survival games the materials you need to do basic task are ridiculous but I’m not hating that that’s basically level design. These heartbreaking moments your said to face well maybe I didn’t play long enough because they were far few and almost nonexistent. I do remember having to steal from a family who clearly had children and feeling conflicted about it but the rest of the game is so tedious and boring I quickly forgot about it. I like that games try to tackle real world issues but let’s not forget they are still games and if they’re not fun I don’t care what else they do well. Just my opinion though

    2 stars for constructive criticism.

    I have this game on pc, when my players are slightly wounded I let them sleep for the entire day and entire night and they are usually better after being useless for 24-36hrs. This game on the phone is not so like that. I have survived for 13 days using 1 character feeding 2 lazy slightly wounded players. 1 has been wounded since the start of the game the other was hurt in a raid on my house. They have been bed resting literally for 13 days now (maybe 10-11 for the other, since they didn't happen exactly on the same night.) I think this is entirely uncool to have these characters be deemed useless without expensive meds for a slight wound, mine as well let them starve to death which I am considering, just letting them go out and get shot to death or something. They're useless anyway eating all of the dang food and doing nothing. PLEASE Fix this & you'll have my 5 stars. I am also going to be buying frost punk, I know that is a game you're involved in & I am a supporter, just this small thing involving slight wounds not healing without induced surgical methods being involved for a sliver.

    Bug

    I ran the game fine for about 15 mins. I went out to scavenge for the night and the app didn’t load the map and the app just closed. So I restart the app, click continue and the app closes again. I restart the app and try to start a new game and erase the old progress. The app closes again. The app closes every time it goes to load a continued progress or restart a new one. I delete the app and download it again. It still says continue and another try and no matter what I do the game closes every time it tries to load the map now. I thought the game was awesome but I just paid $15 for it and now it doesn’t work makes me sad. I don’t want my money back I just want to play the game. Help please. I’m on a IPhone 6 Plus. I’ve played Minecraft/Vainglory/Runescape on this phone and have had no problems. What should I do.
