This War of Mine +17

I played this game on console and picked it up on iPhone 8 just to see how the touch controls would go. And it’s great. Fits this game like a glove. I’ve played through almost every scenario and picked up the DLC to add the Little Ones’ challenge to things.

My issue is actually with the most recent This War of Mine update. I’ve had little crashes and things from time to time before (no big deal as I still love the game), but since the update about a week ago, the glitches are frequent. When I tap a character, it doesn’t center on them but rather slightly above so they’re usually hidden by the character panel. The sound effects are muted too. No more clock ticking timer when the day/night is ending or sounds when characters are attacking/digging/building/eating. Haven’t tried to see if the sniper fire sound is gone too. This occurs even when I start a new TWoM scenario, random or otherwise. I’ve also had characters get stuck after coming home at night, just standing by the door in silence for half the day before they remember the last action I gave them (GO TO BED).

I really like the game and keep coming back to it. Y’all made something really special with TWoM that scratches all the right itches and makes each victory satisfying. Loved Moonlighter too. Can’t wait to see what y’all come out with next.

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!

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
