This War of Mine is a war game that surprised audiences with its focus on the civilian survival experience. Now, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can enjoy this gem in a new edition centered on the children of war with This War of Mine: The Little Ones.
A Different Kind of War Game
Released in 2014 for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and later adapted for iOS and Android, This War of Mine is a war game inspired by the Siege of Sarajevo in 1992-1996 during the Bosnian War. This title differs from most war games by centering on the civilian experience of war rather than combat between soldiers. Gameplay focuses on a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city, struggling with lack of food, medicine, and the constant danger of snipers and hostile scavengers.
The Children of War
Finally, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users can now enjoy this game in a new edition titled This War of Mine: The Little Ones. This version explores the conflicts of war from a completely new perspective: that of a child. Like This War of Mine, The Little Ones focuses not only on the reality of war, but also on the fact that even in such a situation, children remain children; they laugh, cry, play with their toys, and see the world differently. Besides thinking about survival, you'll have to bring back the child within yourself to understand how to protect the little ones.
To this end, the game puts you in charge of a group of adults who must take care of children trapped in the middle of war, trying to survive in a besieged city; once again you'll have to fight against lack of food, medicine, and the constant danger of snipers roaming the stage. Among the new features of This War of Mine: The Little Ones are new missions and characters, as well as the ability to create toys for the kids. The decisions you make now will be much harder to bear emotionally when you're in charge of the little ones. Developed by 11 bit studios, This War of Mine: The Little Ones is available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
