Reviews for This War of Mine

MOST RECENT UPDATE: Game is playable but still constantly crashes when you get into combat situations, particually the warehouse, hotel and and military base. Makes getting all achievements impossible. So the most recent patch was basically a step back 2 patches. Tech support tells me to send them some kind of bug report with a third party site instead of looking into this issue. The developers have clearly moved on. Damn shame because it deserves 5 stars. Play the full version on PC.

The game itself is great, but like the others, the game crashes constantly. It wouldn't be so bad if the game saved between day and night modes, but when the game crashes the entire day is restarted. The amount of time I've lost to crashes has easily outpaced my time actually playing the game and makes it difficult to justify continuing playing. It's not just the time lost, though, when a trader shows up is up to RNG. New survivors, if they show up, are RNG, all lost to constant crashing.

The bugs are real, as is the quality of the game. I played for a week thinking the complaints were exaggerated...but when you hit a new encounter (the sniper for me), and a game crashing bug happens EVERY TIME you get close to this new and interesting character, it feels bad man. I uninstalled. Love the game though, I own all the DLC on PC...which I will probably be reinstalling shortly.

I like everything about this game. It is different and interesting and challenging. I would like to see some options, please. For example, let me adjust the difficulty so that it can be easier or more difficult to find supplies, food, medicine, etc... Let me turn off being raided and how quick it takes to recover from illness, etc... Not everyone likes the extreme challenge of surviving. Make it more accessible by adding options, please. This is a great game. Thank you.

I think the game is very fun and enjoyable, frostpunk was fun so I gave this a try. The gameplay is very enjoyable and challenging, I'm still trying to figure out many aspects of the game which could affect my gripes. My biggest problem is the saving system, it only saves once per day and if you open another app and come back, you will be softlocked on the pause screen, so you're stuck playing for a while. I've crashed once so far and I think new locations to loot should unlock more often.

Game was running beautifully for a little while and then, out of the blue, my people can't eat any canned food. I send them to the fridge to eat it and the orange circle starts but never finishes and the canned food stays in the fridge. That canned food is, in my opinion, kind of important. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game to see if it helps. Will update later.

This is not the kind of game you sit down and play for pleasure. This is an extremely difficult, realistic(in many ways) strategy survival game. The game is astonishing and definitely worth your time. Wish there was a bit of a first timers guide but it's not impossible to figure out. I'm at 14 days rn and I fear I'm about to lose my entire group. Seems as though med supplies are extremely difficult to come by and iskra becomes easily depressed and broken. I've tried everything.

Solid game. I haven't had any problems with it crashing on my Galaxy S21 Ultra. It's definitely worth a look, especially with Play Pass. I noticed the "ultimate edition" was also hugely on sale on Steam for about $3 until 02/03/2025, so I got it there, too. Side note: It took me way too long to realize that double tapping made the characters run to where you wanted them to go, instead of taking a casual stroll. Hopefully that will help someone.

Fantastic in every way with tons of replay value! It's amazing how your choices affect what happens. I did find an exploit that allows me to revive every time any character dies. I take more risks because of this, and I'm able to completely dominate the game. It's actually a bit more fun this way as it allows me to explore more and complete areas 100%, like the military base for example!! UPDATE 2/13/25: CRASH CRASH CRASH now ... I give up.

This game is wonderful... BUT NOT on android. Do yourself a favor and get this on a console or Steam. It's practically unplayable due to the myriad of ways it will crash during scavenging. Try to saw the grate at the top of the construction site? Crash. Free the human trafficking victims? Crash. Shoot literally any firearm? Crash. Only melee combat works. It's so awful. I'd be super angry if I had actually paid real money for this trash pile of frustration. I got it for $1 worth of play points.
