'This War Of Mine' (ALL) Gets Free Steam Weekend, Nintendo Switch Content Update

by Rainier on Nov. 13, 2020 @ 8:53 a.m. PST

This War Of Mine provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle. You do not play as an elite soldier but as a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city.

This War of Mine is a dark survival game where you control a group of civilians trying to stay alive in a besieged city.

Your task is simple: survive.

The pace of the game is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.

Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them to endure the hardships. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.

This November marks the 6th anniversary for a title that helped 11 bit studios make its mark on the gaming market.

Today, This War of Mine: Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch wraps up with the release of two remaining Stories episodes. Those scenarios - The Last Broadcast and Fading Embers - are more story-oriented than the base game. Both touch on complicated dilemmas, as players step into the shoes of a lone radio-operator exploring the role of truth in a time of despair, and a young girl that must decide between the survival of a man or his cultural heritage.

Also, right now, This War of Mine is available on Steam for a free weekend! This extraordinary experience about civilian people trying to survive in a war-torn reality will remain free until Monday, November 16th.

This War of Mine: Complete Edition - containing the base game with expansions and three Stories episodes - is available now on Steam and the Nintendo eShop with a solid discount that lasts until Nov. 16th on PC and Nov. 30th on Nintendo Switch.
