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.
A searing depiction of life in a combat zone, This War of Mine challenges you to keep a group of civilians alive until a ceasefire is declared. Figuring out who sleeps, who eats and who leaves your shelter each night to scavenge for supplies involves lots of tough decisions, but that’s just the beginning. While rummaging through hauntingly detailed ruins, you’ll meet equally desperate survivors and wrestle with your own conscience as you choose to help, trade or steal.
Brilliant but difficult!

I don’t often play mobile games, and I very rarely buy them, but this is a game that seemed too good to miss...And it truly is. I haven’t played this on any other platform, but as far as I’m concerned this works very well for IOS. Usually mobile games are fiddly and clunky, making you wish you could play it on console or PC. It’s as simple as point and click. It CAN be occasionally frustrating when you’re in a hurry, I.E at a tense moment where you’re having to hide or escape from someone/something. Other than that...I can’t complain.As for the story/world itself...wow...very immersive and very powerful. You quickly become attached to your characters early on with nice details about their background and what they can do. This really adds to the pressure of decision making and using their traits to your full advantage. The game does not hold your hand, you’re literally thrown into the environment and your best bet is to just trail and error your way through it at first. This doesn’t make the game in away way less enjoyable, in-fact, quite the opposite. It gives the game some seriously addictive features. Trying hard not to give anything away, but it’s best to go into this blindly as I did. Seriously nice game!!!! Would recommend to anyone.
Good stuff
I H8 Advs
Overall it’s an amazing survival game with a simple pattern of crafting/managing during the day and exploring locations during the night. Very intuitive to play. However I bought the Stories thinking was going to be a patch/expansion but it is a different game. I would love if the other This War of Mine games would be expansions of the original one rather than different games but with the same mechanics. Also a little criticism related to the characters, they are constantly suffering (understandable as it is about surviving) but would be cool if they would be more self sufficient when they are at home so you can focus on crafting rather than spending all day on talking to remove depression. They should adapt to the players’ ethics so should not be depressing to kill other people if the player is happy with it. My rate 4/5.UPDATEI have updated my rate to 5 stars, I survived my first war on my my first go, 45 days war. I have a big query for developers;45 days of war has been pretty easy to survive despite from day 40 the game starts to get harder as bandits break in home every night. Please add more difficulty and a role system to make it easier after completing each war so we can keep playing in order to upgrade the characters and skills. This role system could be based on skills level that upgrades as characters do stuff or going for resources. Also as I have mentioned on my first review, add more self sufficiency to the characters at home so they can talk to each other to surpass depression or they can switch the heater on themselves if they feel they are gonna die because the cold (if combustible stuff is available). Also please add more expansions to the original game so we do not need to have the game and the Stories separated. However I have rated you 5/5 as I enjoyed every single second playing this survival maester piece.
great but plagued by crashes
Red One Over
This game excellent but... yes there’s a but... since i purchased the littlest ones expansion it randomly crashes, I didn’t have the problem before so i’m naturally blaming that (it might not be that). The issue is that I spend a whole day doing tasks, resting, making stuff and so on and then at night it crashes. The problem is you can’t save it, it auto saves in the morning so you end up having to do the whole day over again; and guess what. Yep, it crashes again. This is really tedious and frustrating. especially when you have to do the whole day over. They should change the name of the app to “this ground hog day of mine”. i’m getting really fed up with it, i’m quite far into this game and don’t want to lose it (you can only have one game going at a time). Thing is, even if I start over it might do the exact same thing. Maybe one of the 80+ awards is one for most annoying crashing? I’ll award it that one, it definitely deserves it.Devs, please sort this out, it’s ruining what would otherwise be a really superb game.CAN I HAVE MY MONEY BACK PLEASE?
