This War of Mine: The Little Ones

This is a depressing game to some degree, yet that is what I find so gripping about it. No hope......No joy.......Only The Darkness of your mind to endure.......Every decision you make, feels like it carries weight. This game does not lead you by the hand. It throws you into the fire with virtually no idea as to what to do. Overall though, I am loving it thus far.

Great tutorial to show the basics, but doesnt hold your hand after-extremely challenging, even on easier levels. The game does an excellent job of setting a depressing scene with the art style and graphics. Beautiful environments. It immediately throws you into the action after the tutorial, and you have to make heart-wrenching decisions almost right away. It does an excellent job with the story of the war, and the suffering that goes along with it. With multiple outcomes to any situation, the replayability is fantastic. It has a difficult, but very rewarding resource management system. It is not for people who cry easily! The game does an incredible job of displaying the suffering that people go through in war, the story has no shortage of atrocities that can happen. The music is also a favorite of mine, it has a very melancholy soundtrack that shows the awful side of the conflict. Recommended to any mature fan of survival genre or RPG's. 5 stars, hands down.

(Disclaimer: This is a mature game for mature players) WHY have I never heard of this? Wow! A very different survival game that takes you on an emotional journey as you create your own personal story. It keeps you hooked for hours and hours (I played for 6 straight hours on my first night) with its addictive and FUN gameplay mechanics. Randomly generated elements only add to the fun and re-playability (no two players will have the same experience). Oh, and the choices you make - they truly matter and shape your adventure. This game is McDonald's - I'M LOVIN' IT!

I didnt grab this game on launch due to its high price but that was based on not knowing anything about it. I was caught off guard by how much I have gotten hooked in this world.

Very gritty and depressing game but at same time you will feel joy and hope as you help your small band of survivors make a safe refuge from war. For the price however it is a little too simplistic. There is no voice over nor story other than reading little blurbs your characters sometimes add to their status screen. You cannot have your characters interact with each other unless one is a child which was disappointing. Economy in game doesnt work as it should and there is over reliance on lumber, which you can only carry in tedious small amts. After awhile , you will find little to do with your people and just passing during the day so that you can scavenge at night. I really enjoyed the game but wish it had more interactions , stories, better game economy and things to do with your characters.
