This War of Mine for Positive User Reviews

My own scenario?Hey I don’t know if you guys are still updating this game but if you are it would be great if you could add a way to make your own scenario, like on the steam version. Even if you couldn’t make your own characters I’d love to be able to choose my own combination of characters. I also hope final cut will be released on mobile 🥺.Version: 1.6.6

An Emotionally Gripping GameA stark and harrowingly beautiful game. Gripping in its depiction of survivors in a besieged city. A great game for anyone into raw story, survival and management games. It's well made and keeps me on edge as to what's going to happen next and how I will deal with it. Well worth 5 stars- but.. I really feel it would be 5 stars if the more advanced features of the PC version (a scenario generator and survivor maker) were added..Version: 1.5.1

Disappearing loot pilesWhile scavenging I like to make loot piles with different things (one for materials and one for goodies) so I don’t have to run around on the next visit. It happened several times when one of my loot piles disappeared. Quite massive piles too and I’m sure I didn’t clear them myself. Please fix the bugs because the game itself is amazing! 4 star from me tho because of bugs and crashes..Version: 1.6.5

Best game I played this yearThis is one of the best games I ever played on iOS and definitely the best one I played this year. It is actually an intense game - intense in a very different way. If you feel confused you can do some search online. There is a wiki for it! (It is for the PC version but the data are the same). If you play with your full heart. At the end you may start to respect the people who fight for your peace..Version: 1.5.1

Awesome game!So addictive, I've bought both mac and iOS version. Great game!!.Version: 1.4.0

TitleThis 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!.Version: 1.5.5

This hits hardUp 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 ❤️.Version: 1.5.1

Bug reportHi team I don’t know how else to report this but my game keeps crashing when going to st Mary’s cathedral Not sure how to fix this Happens on all games.Version: 1.5.4

My new favouriteAn awesome game which is even better on the iPhone..Version: 1.3.7

Depressing, challenging, unrewarding, but enjoyableHello, have you ever wanted to play a game where, trapped in a city full of bombings and war, you struggle, try, and fail to provide food, supplies, and bandages for when your characters inevitably get wounded from constant attacks on their home? This is the game for you. In all seriousness this game is great. You have to develop a strategy or die. Looting buildings can either be rewarding or not so rewarding. Stockpiling is important. Choosing who to guard your shelter could be the difference between life and death. Depressing events will leave your characters crying and sobbing all night, encouraging good deeds when you don’t have anything to give. When you feel that you are living happy and healthy, with everyone somehow content (and if you have the DLC, the child fed and happy with lots of toys to play with and attention at all angles), one thing could go wrong and turn Into a downward spiral. Has a crap ton of replay value, and each character has their own perks for survival. It’s a masterpiece of storytelling, and I’m not making that up. It has detailed character stories, and even short conversations between NPCs say all you would want to know..Version: 1.6.9

One of The best Games on Mobile devicesSince I played this on console I loved it great story and great variety of gameplay and choices now that it’s on mobile I highly recommend u buy it this game is extremely fun and yes it can be difficult at times but it truly just adds too the fun that this game has too offer..Version: 1.6.8

Great game, can't playGood blend of enticing gameplay and grim atmosphere. I've been really enjoying this game but for quite some time, it's been crashing every time I open it..Version: 1.6.1

Awesome but not anymore..I love this game, really love this game as I got it on my ps4 and pc also. I pay more for the ios version 20$ and it keeps crashing all the time. I’m stuck at the third day and as it crashes everytime. I want a refund cause for the price I paid, I suppose I could play like I want!.Version: 1.5.7

Great game even for the high costGreat game even for the high cost.Version: 1.3.8

Brilliant on iPad with Apple PencilI picked up a copy during the steam sale and the gameplay on my MacBook seemed a little tedious. Short thereafter I grabbed a copy of this for iPad on special $4.49 AUD. It was not long into the game I gifted a copy to my partner in anticipation of her upcoming iPad Pro purchase. Rarely has a game ever held my attention, and as a console gamer typically cannot stand touch screen gaming. The gameplay coupled with an Apple Pencil has provided me hours of entertainment..Version: 1.4.0

Little ones glitchedHello, first off, I have to say I love this game. And that’s why I’m a little disappointed. I was doing well, had good amounts of food and supplies. But suddenly, the little girl glitched out and she is stuck in place. She can’t eat, she can’t sleep. I can’t teach her anything or help her with the others. And yet she still is broken and I’ll have to start a new game :(.Version: 1.6.6

Keeps crashing.Overall a good awesome game. It’s interesting to see how war can change a city and the people within. But the problem is I can’t even log in anymore. I remember clicking on one of the packs and it opened up the AppStore to purchase it. I didn’t want to buy it. So I clicked cancel and it signed me out. Every time I try to log in. It crashes and takes me out of the app. Please help. I wanna be able to play this game again..Version: 1.6.1

Very playable and movingAn immensely playable yet gritty, tough and above all, moving depiction of the effects of war. Choices have a psychological effect on your characters and none are immune from ethical choices and drives that are often completely absent in other games. This makes it very realistic and gives a strong insight into the vulnerability of human beings who are ultimately social creatures because choices will have a direct impact on the mood and behaviours of your party. Stunning sound design and great artwork. This is one of the most memorable games I have played in the last ten years, if not my life..Version: 1.6.5

Amazing GameFirst 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!!!.Version: 1.5.1

** NOTE TO DEVELOPER **IPHONE X OPTIMISATION ISSUE On the whole, this is a gloriously gritty and immersive game that I’d recommend in heartbeat to fans of the genre.. HOWEVER, when playing on iPhone X the 'home bar' at the bottom of the screen is perpetually active and never fades into a grey non-active mode as it should. This is not only very distracting in terms of player immersion, but it also means it is frustratingly easy to inadvertently close the game. This simply requires a very small optimisation fix, which greys out the home bar, remedying the issue entirely. It’s a subtle change for sure, but makes a big improvement in terms of user experience. For reference purposes, please take a look at games such as Inside and Alto’s Odyssey to see precisely what I mean. Many thanks in advance!.Version: 1.5.5

One of the best iOS games I've playedI don't usually write reviews. But this game deserves one. It's highly addictive. And it is so realistic it will have you truly hating yourself for some of the decisions you make. My only complaint is that it is predictable in that, once you play for a while, you can figure out who moves where and when at each location. So it becomes very basic and simple. It would be awesome if they came out with more scenarios and characters and found a way for things to switch it up. But overall, this is a must play..Version: 1.5.3

My favourite gameHave on PC and now iPad - highly recommend. It's different every time..Version: 1.3.8

This game is greatThis game is DEFINITELY worth the $3. It’s good for some fun, if you have time to spare..Version: 1.6.3

A game with purposeAn impressive piece of work. Game play is a bit like the Sims, but with much more meaning. Heart-breaking. Lost one star because of a bug that caused a character to disappear after several "days" of play. (I accidentally had two characters agree to the sane mission after answering the door to a caller: one returned, the other was never mentioned again)..Version: 1.3.10

This war of mineWhen I start the game and it loads but it crashes before I can play which sucks can you please fix that bug.Version: 1.6.8

PowerfulA truly one of a kind experience. It’s a difficult game to play both in its game play challenges but also the difficult choices you must make. I truly enjoyed playing this, as much as you can enjoy playing a game about surviving war. So much thought and detail went into developing this. It took me several times to finally reach the end. I had no game crashes or glitches..Version: 1.6.5

Good, but not optimised for iPhone 13Good concept, but you have to press the screen about a centimetre to the right of where you want the character to go - which gets a bit annoying after a while. Presumably an easy thing for the Devs to sort, also….Version: 1.6.6

Great but needs a quick fixAmazing but constantly crashing on start.Version: 1.6.8

Amazing, but...This is an awesome game. I’ve played it on console for a while and this version is just as addictive and fluid. However almost half of the night scavenging locations seem to crash before or just after loading, and I’m booted from the app! Locations off the top of my head are the church, sniper junction/central square, military outpost and the hospital. Once these are fixed easily a 5 star game!.Version: 1.5.7

Good but screen not optimised for iPhone XGreat game love it but the game doesn’t fit properly on my screen.Version: 1.6.5

Something weird happend to me!I bought this game in jul 9th 2019 but It's not in my purchase list. I have e-mail receipt that represents I bought this game. Apps which I bought at the same day is in my purchased list and I had no problem to download them. I have iphone and ipad and in ipad, already downloaded. but when I tried to download in my iphone, price tag appers which is not appears if I purchase What should I do?.Version: 1.5.9

Bleak but compellingA tad fiddly to get started with, but very compelling and satisfying when you get the hang of it. Fantastically harrowing and bleak, I love how my survivors really dwell on the things that they've seen and done - nothing gets taken for granted. I wish it was possible to save in the middle of a game though!.Version: 1.5.1

My Thoughts and IdeasI really liked the game, no really I did. But I would like to have the custom character feature, if it's in there already because I haven't founded it yet. I'd like to see weapons like Rocket launchers and machine guns. I'd also like to see animals like dogs that would attack you and even could be your pet to take scavenging..Version: 1.3

Runs well, controls don’t translate well to touchIt runs really well for me, but the controls are aggravating when you have to fight people.Version: 1.6.2

A review (and mild complaint)The game is great and I love the mechanics and story but their is one huge problem for me. It keeps crashing. I’m quite sure it’s not my phone but crashes will happen often for a week or so and stop. Would play it more often but the crashes are annoying especially when the day is almost done. Other then the crashes it’s great. Keep doing what you do dudes..Version: 1.5.1

Particularly poignant right nowI guess the game makers imagined the challenges of life when your country is attacked and your home destroyed. It felt realistic to me when I played it a few years ago and I am about to start playing again. With what is happening right now to people in Ukraine this simulation provides a tiny insight into the day to day experience of people there. Play it, then donate to Médecins Sans Frontières UNICEF or the Red Cross..Version: 1.6.8

Best game everOne of the most stunning gameplay in my life. The game always challenges the deep of your mind heart and been a human. Will you steal from powerless because you need? Just leaving you alone digging out your humanity and eating it up bit by bit.Version: 1.6.2

WOWThis game is the best survival game that you can find on the App Store. You will not want to be in war after playing this game. So realistic!.Version: 1.5.1

Very EntertainingI'm surprised by how few reviews this has. I keep playing this game. I have gotten completely through about 4 scenarios and keep going back for more. I admit, I quit if I don't like how it's going, but instead of getting frustrated and quitting, I choose another and keep going. This is unusual for me. I have a very short attention span with games which is why I don't normally buy anything more than $.99. This was well worth the $$. I highly recommend it..Version: 1.5.1

Great Game, Slightly BuggyThe game is a harsh simulation of the civilian struggle to survive in a war zone. It is dark, difficult and emotional. The iPad incarnation is just as excellent as ever, though noticeably buggier than its desktop counterpart: - Sometimes inventory screens will refuse to clear, requiring the game to restart and losing in-day progress - I have not once had a random event occur - this is problematic because traders appearing every few days is important to surviving during harsher times.Version: 1.2

Great! Now with iPad Pro 11 supportThis game is great!! Glad they updated it to support full screen mode on the 2018 IPad Pro 11 inch.Version: 1.5.9

I love this game but one small issueI have played this game for a number of years and it is one of my favorite games of all time. But I recently bought an iPhone 13 which the aspect ratio does not detect, the screen is smushed and there is a large pink screen on the right hand side which makes the game unplayable. Please update this as soon as possible because I would really like to revisit this game. Once again, the iPhone 13 aspect ratio has to be fixed..Version: 1.6.6

GoodI love this game I have it on my Xbox and PC but am out a lot so I got it on my phone too but there is one thing that I noticed that’s not on the mobile version and that’s the write your on story I don’t know if you will ever add it to mobile but if you do I will change this to 5 stars since it’s my favourite thing to mess around with but apart from that it’s well worth the money.Version: 1.5.5

A war to survive, also to challenge your conscienceExclamatory, emotional and life-seeking. A wonderful game that doesn't matter how expensive it is. I once found old people's house, and I knew that they had everything I need for my team. But then I walked away, they were just some pictures on my phone screen but I could not rob or steal poor old people. The game is simple, you only need to aim to survive. But it is not this simple, every decision makes different game situations, and probably will affect you in the future. This is a teaching of the war, a experience of what life and desire is about in there. This is not a fiction, same thing is happening in Middle East. Why don't you try it now?.Version: 1.3.7

A good mobile portIt’s good 👍.Version: 1.6.9

It’s brilliant, but...I would love more characters and places to be added!.Version: 1.5.7

Amazing, but needs tiny fixesI 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..Version: 1.5.7

Awesome game. Worth the price, however play only if you have time thoughGame is great, it is worth the price and plays nicely, I also like the immersion. One thing I wish there could be is a better saving system, it’s frustrating that when I have to go while I am playing, and the day is over, I have to restart from beginning of day just to advance, once I get back on the game. This or you have to progress to next day, there is no in between it seems like - please correct me if I am wrong. Also it would be nice if the developers keep updating and working on the game periodically, things like adding a new location or two, including difficulty modes,.Version: 1.6.8

Great game, but some flawsThe game is a great survival horror game, and for the first little bit I was completely immersed. Although the game does get stale after some time, it doesn’t have enough content to warrant a $20 price tag, maybe $5-$10 but not $20 save your money..Version: 1.5.7

Great game but not optimised for the iPhoneXAmazing game, incredibly emotional. Only downside is that it it’s very small and doesn’t stretch to utilise the full screen on my iPhone X.Version: 1.5.1

5 star game, 4 stars on mobilePlayed it on pc first and and there’s many reasons why this is such a good game. They also did a great job porting it over but I’ve seen a little glitch or strange responsiveness every now and then and it’s just a bit harder to manage zoom and controls over pc. Unfortunately this game can get tight on difficulty sometimes and these differences can feel really frustrating when you’re running out of food and need to maximize your characters time as well as avoid enemies when scavenging. Overall great game, good port with the limitations. Just find myself wanting to go back to PC..Version: 1.6.7

This game is amazingThis game is amazing, if u don’t have 20 hours to spare don’t buy. But I have this game on Steam and it is amazing, you can choose to fight, steal or just be friendly around people during scavenging. AMAZING 1000/10.Version: 1.5.7

Game crashedThe game crashed when we open it at the loading screen.Version: 1.6.1

When does the new DLC is going to be realease?Dear devellopper, THIS WAR OF MINE is the greatest game that I ever played on mobile, it defenetly deserve a five stars! The only things is that I would like to know when the dlc the last broadcast and fading embers will be realease on mobile. I am a huge fan of this game, and if I was able to play those two DLC on ipad, it would be fantastic!.Version: 1.5.9

Crashes at certain places in the mapWhat’s the point when you scavenge everything in certain parts on the map then it just crashes when you go into it a whole day gets wasted and have to do it all over again!! Please fix I’m playing on a new iPad 2018 so it isn’t that. Update The church works thank you for the update! Be great if all the other expansions were loaded onto the iPad next 😏.Version: 1.5.5

XS Max, iOS 12.xThis update has exceeded my wildest expectations, and in doing so, raises the bar for others who choose to pursue similar endeavors. Wow! ... Original review: Brilliant title polished and perfected for both iPhone and iPad by an indie studio that provides far more continued support than the largest companies in the business. TWoM represents the gold standard on iOS, as it is wholly original and has astonishing depth. By the way, it never hurts when a title's aesthetics and controls have been implemented flawlessly on its platform (ie, iOS)..Version: 1.5.7

Game RequestI’m in Love with this game! And I read most of the my stories in the characters and they had like a cat or a dog in the past so I was thinking... You guys should add Pets! Pets would help you scavenge or defend while also help the little ones (if you bought it) and could make it feel more like a home while if you don’t have one a person can go scavenging while they found a stray dog and you could either leave it there or bring it with you.. Just a fun request to see to boost up the game a little more but all that this game is so fun to play!.Version: 1.5.5

GreatThe game is GREAT and I’ve been playing for hours. I recently got the “The little ones” and am really upset that the interaction with the kids doesn’t work well. I’ve tried two campaigns and get stucked when I try to feed or give some medicine (it repeats the action for the whole day - the child and adult in the interaction won’t do anything else for the whole day). The main game is great, the expansion needs some urgent QA..Version: 1.5.3

Beautifully written and engineered gameI am not one to just write a review for a game/app, in fact, I believe this is first review ever. This game deserves the best reviews, it truly exceeded the expectations that I had not only for this game in particular, but on the level of creativity a simple game like this can reach. This game also challenges the users to face some difficult moral choices that also impact the gameplay and potentially change the course of the game. Highly recommend for those who like interactive, decision driven, survival games..Version: 1.5.7

This game lives up to pc editionGreat game, has all elements needed, awesome crafting system and hard enough to make you work for your goods, and survival is insane in till you get a good system going, just too pricey for someone who doesn't know this game but over all an incredible game on all aspects!.Version: 1.3.10

Awsome game……………….Version: 1.3.10

Amazing game indeed!I bought the game almost 2 years ago I believe. Long time ago. It’s one of those games you can’t put down. One of those games That will remain on my iPad. Highly recommend this game. If you die quickly then just try again. You will figure it out. I have played every scenario and I’m really hoping for a part two. Thanks for your time! Good luck!.Version: 1.5.4

Bad experience for iPhone 12 proThis game is definitely a good game. But it seems incompatible with iPhone 12 Pro. When start the game, there will be a large pink box which terribly effect the control of the game. Hope it will fixed in the future..Version: 1.6.5

Best game ever!I absolutely love this game and have been playing it for over a year. Please can the developers create another one like it with a different storyline? I would defo purchase it if they did. Nothing quite like this in the App Store. Amazing graphics and storyline and it changes every time you start the game again. Brilliant!.Version: 1.6.8

Perfect and movingThis game is perfect but I had a few problems on the title screen the tank looked really sketchy but not in the games style it looked really low quality and this was the same with some other pictures in the game but besides that one problem let's focus on the good stuff now this game is moving and can make you sad the gameplay works well and everything in that regard but some of the stuff you do can be seriously cruel and even make the player feel horrible all and all I love this game it pretty much prefect.Version: 1.3.8

Works better on 6 year old ipad than new iphoneDecided to download to my phone after years playing this game. aside from more freezes and crashes, it’s got one main issue that bugs me: if you pause the game and your phone sleeps, the game most likely closes, meaning any daytime progress you made needs to be repeated. it’s a real drag, and doesn’t do this on ipad, no matter what app/refresh settings i select otherwise, it’s well made, very addictive, and a mainstay time killer.Version: 1.6.9

God bless UkraineI hope my payment will be donated to Ukrainian suffering the war as the developer announced. I pray for Ukraine everything goes well. Best wishes Sincerely Dazhi.Version: 1.6.8

Please updateLove this game! Play it all the time, but please fix the 'crashing' issue! It is seriously making me want to damage my phone and everything around me when I spend the whole night killing bandits and scavenging only to have it crash as I return and I lost that night :( Please for the safety of my phone, myself and others around me fix this!!.Version: 1.4.0

Disable survivor depression optionGreat 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!!!!!.Version: 1.5.5

It's epic it's is worth $13 sooooo fun it would be cool if you could add onlineEpic.Version: 1.1

I love this game but it has its ups and downs like I got a new iPad and the app takes me of itYou.Version: 1.5.7

Amazing game I love it!I love this game! The game was really fun throughout the pathway of survival, I bought The Little One’s and played as Iskra and Christo. It was a hard experience but on day 7 I was glad to get a new person. I have thoughts about updates, I think the game should have dogs. Reason why is because I love dogs and companions will really help for scavenging. The dog could fined different areas that will appear while your scavenging. Amazing game LOVE IT!.Version: 1.5.9

Price Change?I’ve been looking at this game for quite some time now. 2 weeks ago when I last checked, the game was $21, now I see it’s on for not even $4! At first, I thought this must just be an add on but it’s the real deal. Highly recommend this app for people looking at a different perspective of a war game, and how your choosings and feelings affect the gameplay heavily.Version: 1.5.9

All you need to know about this game before you buy1) You start off with 3 survivors. Each survivor has a trait that may or may not be of benefit (good cook, mathematician etc) 2) The aim is to survive by scavenging at night for goods such as parts, food, medicine etc. 3) The game is spilt into day and night. Day time (approx 10mins) is spent crafting, resting, healing etc), & night time (approx 10mins) is spent scavenging (sneak or guns blazing) whilst other survivors rest and protect your camp. 4) your characters can die many different ways. Once all characters die, you fail. Note: random survivors come along and may want to join your camp. 5) when you fail & restart, the loot, characters and scenery can/will change. 6) there are surprises and events that pop up that keeps it fresh and interesting. Surprisingly this game is not repetitive after playing all day. The game is difficult and just because you managed to get a shot gun, doesn't necessarily make it easier to scavenge through buildings. It took me a while to understand that. I must admit I'm addicted. 10 hours and I'm looking forward to playing tomorrow..Version: 1.2

Unable to play itApp crashes back to desktop while loading. iPad Air 3rd gen latest iOS. Working again since last update..Version: 1.6.2

Top notch IOS GameI’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.Version: 1.5.1

Great game and devs.Totally worth the money. I only have a few games on ios that I actually play. This one, Civ 6, Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire. For the price, this one is my favorite. I have it on iOS, steam, and switch. It may not be for everyone but if you like truly good games on iOS you should try it. Also, I'm not going into the specifics but the devs and support team did something amazingly kind for my wife and I when we reached out. And for that I would always support these guys and I can't wait to play whatever they release next..Version: 1.6.5

Good stuffOverall 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. UPDATE I 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..Version: 1.6.2

Extremely thought-provoking and...super depressing.Watching my first group of survivors starve, lose all hope and get maimed (some killed) by looters was a really emotional experience :| I was staring at my bedroom ceiling for hours afterwards. As well as being a fantastic way to show us a unique angle of war other than the one we've somewhat grown numb to as a society, this piece provides intuitive controls and an absolutely phenomenal atmosphere. Balanced gameplay that isn't based upon paywalls and ridiculous amounts of waiting was a refreshing experience, especially on iOS. Crafting is frustrating IN THE RIGHT WAY, as it would be in a situation where people just show up and steal your stuff; very well executed. One thing I would like to see added is an enhanced save method, allowing saves at times other than the start of a day, since I'd love to play this on the go. Thanks for this marvellous work, hope to see more soon!.Version: 1.2

Thought Provoking & Excellent GamingThis War of Mine is what iPad gaming should be like (no excessive pay to properly play, PC like gaming depth, engaging gameplay, interesting hook, resonates even after you put it down, keeps you coming back). An absolute steal when on special, but even at it's full price it's still great value (I've paid more for a lot less with other Apple Store games). You'll have hours of unique gameplay (no short campaigns here) that'll have you'll saying "just one hour more" as you try and refine your survival strategy. Strong recommendation..Version: 1.3.8

Addictive, compelling, movingOne of the best games ported to iOS. A heavy, moving experience..Version: 1.5.1

Awesome and emotional game that is worth the price tagI bought this game on PC already but I bought it again on iPad because it is such a great survival game that shows a very emotional reality of civilians stuck in a war zone. Also it is a very good port. I am on iPad 2 and it still runs very smoothly. UI is very intuitive as well. Kudos to the game dev team. It is well deserved of my double purchase!.Version: 1.1

Crash Problems...I like the game, I really do, but it annoys me so much when I can't play the game for more than 5 seconds. I play on the 5s, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?.Version: 1.3.8

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 ?.Version: 1.5.5

DisappointedI'm a massive fan of this game on PC so much so I bought it on my iPad just really disappointed that you can't "write own story" I did t see this anywhere and feel like I've wasted just a little bit of money. Will it be put in with further updates. I hope so. Other then that it's a top game!.Version: 1.3.8

You know what?Worth every cent.Version: 1.5.1

Oops did I say 'executed?'Just a great concept executed really well.Version: 1.5.1

We need Chinese language.As lots friend tell me..Version: 1.3.8

Great game!Dark and thrilling!.Version: 1.5.7

Beat. Game. Ever.Die like a dog for no good reason -- over and over. The quality of this game is incredible. Days and days in bed with the iPad just fly by (no kidding). Visual quality is stunning, story is superb, controls are good, depth may be greatest I've ever seen in a mobile game (and I've played a great many). So much to explore, so many different avenues to go down, so many characters to use. If you can get the app at the Xmas discount, the purchase is a no-brainer -- but even at full price it's totally worth it!! PS: TWOM reminds me a bit of Beholder (another great wartime atmosphere game), but it's actually better yet. PS2: I've not had a single crash (Air 2, iOS 10). Everything works really well..Version: 1.5.1

Great but buggyLoses 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..Version: 1.5.9

This game is an artSeriously, I wish more games were like this. This games makes you question decisions that you make and really connect with the characters. Great art style and good iPad controls only makes experience even more immerse. Thinking about difficult questions is needed we cannot just have fun all he time....Version: 1.3.7

Fun game with a very thought provoking messageFirst off, gameplay is awesome and that’s all I have to say, for the gameplay alone you should buy it, but the message is also great, with all the media we see nowadays most seem to almost glorify war and not truly show how bad it is, this game perfectly captures what it’s like for civilians who are in the midst of war, and how they have to live during conflicts. I also wanted them to stop asking me to rate the game.Version: 1.6.8

OkGreat game but crash in certain stages like the semi detached house and hotel in the current anniversary version..Version: 1.5.1

Can we have a game speed option?I have been playing this game for a little while now, and I rather enjoy it. I would enjoy This War Of Mine much more, however, if I could speed up the game. For example, when all of my players are either sleeping, or just standing around waiting for water to filter and vegetables to grow, I would love to speed the game up 2x or 4x so I am spending less time idly staring at my screen and wasting my battery..Version: 1.5.5

PLEASE HELP!!!Great game but the app won't even open. iOS is current and I have tried all a number of remedies suggested on Google to no avail. If It won't work can I get my money back? Already own the ps4 and board game versions so I'd love for this to work so it's easy to take places. Please help!.Version: 1.5.5

Fantastic - would recommendThis game is that engrossing it actually gave me depression.Version: 1.5.7

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..Version: 1.6.2

Write your own storiesThis isn’t as concerning as the no sfx audio, but it is a nice consideration. I’ve seen that in the PC version, there was an option to choose that particular option to play as the characters I’ve implemented. That was on the version 1.3 update. I was just wondering when the mobile version can also have the option to write your own stories. Otherwise, this game is glorious in its entirety..Version: 1.5.7

Incredibly ExcellentI was so hesitant on whether to get this game or not, it looks like a 2D platform stuck in black-and-white This game is absolutely marvellous, a classic must have what starts out as a simple game turns into an epic adventure of survival. If I could give this 10 stars I would! I highly recommend it!!.Version: 1.5.5

Credits?Hello, I’ve loved this game for a long time. Just did updates to play again and finished the first round and stuck in an eternal loop of credits that stop me moving forward. I’ve purchased child and stories. Really disappointed. Am I missing something?.Version: 1.6.6

Really well made!This war of mine is not a, as you'd say, fun game, but the idea and concept behind it is amazing. the lack of tutorial is not so much a bad thing as it allows player to learn at their own pace while working out strategies. The only limiting factor is the 40 day limit. The implementation of a survival mode where you see how long you can survive would be great, however the amount of required work is understandably quite large with random scenarios and regeneration of supplies being a sort of necessity. Other than that, in terms of bugs or glitches I have experienced none and I would like a follow up of this game..Version: 1.3.6

Iphone XS supportPlayed 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..Version: 1.5.6

CreativeBy far the most unique game I’ve played on the App Store. I’ve been googling similar games like this one for a while now and nothing seems to come close. Only issue with this game is that each story ends so quickly... in the future could there maybe be an option to see how long you can get your characters to survive infinitely? Been disappointed with the lack of updates, I would have expected there to be new characters or new content... I mean, really great opportunity to milk the cow a little more if you know what I mean? Good job nevertheless, a really thought out beautiful game..Version: 1.5.9

Great Storytelling Through AtmosphereThe depressing atmosphere teaches that there’s no glory or honor in war when you are a civilian. From the civilian perspective, you are shown atrocity after atrocity, until eventually your characters start pushing beyond their breaking points. The atmosphere is only a part of it, as you have to look at character Bios as they show what that character thinks. Great game, 10/10 would play again..Version: 1.6.7

Love this game but..Love this game but annoyed I can’t choose the people to play with like you could in Console or pc also this game could do we an update.Version: 1.6.9

Alluringly addictiveAutomatically, you are sunk into the personification of the characters: you care for them, you feel sympathy for them, you try your hardest to ensure they’re fed and safe. The game wrenches you inside out. You feel extreme guilt towards stealing supplies from those who direly need it— even more than you, for the exchange of surviving another day, or feeding the little girl who glues with your group. Not for the lighthearted, but fantastic game. Opens your eyes to reality of humanity..Version: 1.6.8

Love this game!Challenging and enjoyable all at once. Can’t stop playing! Highly recommend playing!! Altho, I get to day 28 and the game continuously crashes ( reset the game twice now). Please help..Version: 1.5.7

AmazingU have an amazing game and i love absolutely everything about it! theres just one tiny problem and its that sometimes when one of ur characters are sad or depressed u asigne one if ur other characters to talk to them but theres a glitch that makes the characters keep talking. Not even talking like after their conversation is supposed to be over they just stand there and i cant control them or do anything what do ever with them because the game things they are still talking when nothing is going on they are just standing there. Please fix this and thank u!!.Version: 1.5.7

This bore of mineIt's a really neat survival game but it's super boring. I don't know if it's worth 20$ or whatever they are charging for it but if you can scoop it when it is on for cheap it is totally worth a try.Version: 1.5.1

Great game !It would be great if we can write our own story in mobile/IPad like in console or PC.Version: 1.6.8

Incredible game and experience.One of the best mobile games you can buy and significantly better than any other survival game I’ve played..Version: 1.6.8

Please release new update versionSadly, this game is no longer compatible with my current phone. Was playable on my iPhone XR. Just upgraded to iPhone 12 and it won’t function properly. Lucky I can still play it on my iPad, Xbox, Nintendo switch and PlayStation. But I really need the game playable on my phone. Thanks. Update:: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I just happened to check the status of this game in the store to see if it’s been updated to fit the iPhone 12 screen. I appreciate this very much. I added a star back for 5 stars!! I’m so excited to play this game once again on my phone..Version: 1.6.6

Perfectly done however...I love this game, it's very entertaining but I have a few suggestions... 1) Pets. It would be amazing if you added dogs that could guard the house, or go with you when you scavenge and help protect you. They’d also need food, or bandaged, or medicated and could get depressed. This would be an amazing addition. 2) Is it possible that you guys could add more characters please, and maybe so that if you double tap on the bio for a character you can view an actual bio that has a back ground story. 3) I would also love to be able to have multiple save slots so I can play different games. Again thank you so much for a wonderful game. I love the feeling it brings of being there and going through war. This game can be ruthless and rightly so. I love the graphics but wish for thunderstorms. Anyways the game is amazing so thank you. (I will be hopeful for a response but will understand if you don’t respond).Version: 1.5.9

Excellent gameLove the game so much, time consuming but worth it ! Definitely addictive, fun, exciting and entertaining but a few glitches here and there for example like when talking or giving someone food it’s tends to glitch a little. There is a lot to this game nevertheless and no doubt or regrets about buying this game !!.Version: 1.5.9

Solid Game, Worth every PennyI’ve been playing TWoM ever since it came out. Cheesy, I know. But I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed by the game when you purchase it. The different storylines and the different characters are variety to how you can play things out. The Little Ones DLC also adds a level of excitement and more depth to the game as you are forced to decide what to do with the lives of kids. Overall, fantastic game. 5/5.Version: 1.6.3

A suggestion..Please consider adding the option of gameplay to survive however long you can. At first I was curious as to how long the surviving time requirement will be till I defeat the game, and it appears from online research is that there is a limit to the number of days which is generated at random. The game is fun and so extending the numbers of days to unlimited creates a whole new challenge for the players..Version: 1.6.5

Intense and polished game, limited replay-ability.I thoroughly enjoyed this game and was absorbed by it for a couple of days. It's an interesting twist - playing as civilians in a war zone instead of trained military professionals. It takes you in and you really feel the grim desperation of the characters, it even left me feeling down for a while at one point. My only criticism is the feeling of sameness on different play throughs. Sure the characters and locations mix up but the early game especially was very much just more of the same..Version: 1.3

Awesome Game!Got this game on PC and loved it so much I wanted to be able to play it on the go a bit more! Cool concept and very hard and realistic! I have no regrets in buying it definitely worth the money!.Version: 1.3.8

NiceI have this game for pc and ps4 I buy it everywhere I see it, I can never get tired of it, even when I do I always end up coming back because it's addictive. I will always support this game with every DLC as well. The game doesn't need a tutorial just by playing and reading you will know what to do after a while like I did. Keep it up guys maybe you can turn this game into a big franchise I would love to see a open world 3rd person bring survival games back to life! Good luck guys..Version: 1.5.1

Final Cut DLC please!!!Please release the Final Cut for mobile. I believe lots of people are waiting for it :) Thanks!.Version: 1.6.8

Never tire of itEvery time I think I’ve played this game to death, I find myself returning to it six months later. The combination of characters it’s hard not to care about, varied resource management options, combat (but only if you want it), irreversible decisions and moral consequences means that I genuinely invest in and enjoy each play-through. Of every iPad game I’ve ever paid for, I’ve gotten the most value out of this game..Version: 1.5.9

OutstandingHours and hours of gameplay. One of my favourite games of all time..Version: 1.6.9

True Nature of Humanity when CorneredThis game taught me what will different people react and solve different problems, so as what they will do in order to survive (win), as such: selfish, kind, or lonely survival strategies. This game also taught me how to stay positive and calm, even at the worst possible situation. Such a good game..Version: 1.5.5
