This War Of Mine Launches On iOS And Android Today

by Brian Shea on Jul 15, 2015 at 01:25 PM

This War of Mine, the compelling strategy title from 11 bit studios where you play as a civilian in a war-torn region, is making the jump to mobile platforms. Starting today, players can download This War of Mine on iOS and Android tablets.

The game is focused on the idea that not everyone is a soldier. With nearly all games that take place in wars, you play as a soldier. In This War of Mine, players assume the role of a civilian just hoping to survive. During your run, you'll scavenge what you can and make decisions that impact your chances of survival as well as the survival of the people around you. Check out the tablet launch trailer below to see the game in action.

11 bit studios also announced that it raised $65,000 for War Child, an organization devoted to helping children affected by wars and conflicts, with the help of the gaming community.

This War of Mine first released on the PC in 2014. If you'd like to check out our thoughts on the PC release, you can read Daniel Tack's review here.

 

Our Take
This War of Mine is one of those games I always wanted to play but just slipped past me. I feel like I'd be much more likely to play it on my tablet, so I'm really excited to go home and download 11 bit studios' title on my iPad.
