Developer 11 bit studios

This War of Mine is a 2014 war survival video game developed and published by Polish developer 11 Bit Studios. The game, inspired by the siege of Sarajevo among other conflicts, differs from most war-themed video games by focusing on the civilian experience of war rather than frontline combat.

    Since it came up in the chat - I was reminded of the hilarity of Abridged Vegeta's attempt at playing "This War of Mine." Yes, I imagine if I played it the game would be utter misery... which is why this video is so wonderful. @lanipator.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsU5...

    I've loved what @11bitstudios.bsky.social has been doing for a long time. I've played a LOT of This War of Mine, Frostpunk 1 & 2, and The Invicible (which they published). This one feels like they took everything they'd learned and applied it to a sci-fi context. They made a game for me. It's kind!

    This War of Mine is a very good game about surviving in a war-torn city under siege and it absolutely does not manage to avoid this trap. I ended up with all the food and a perfectly comfortable house with four roommates.

    Awaken Realms were the reason i first backed a game on kickstarter. This War of Mine. Capitalism in a nutshell is how that success from creating something unique and interesting has led them down the path to automated factory line junk, reprints with plastic and AI art. Sad, but feels inevitable

    I've mentioned the demo for this game a couple of times. It's basically like This War of Mine meets zombies set in the 80s I don't often get early access stuff anymore since I prefer to wait for a full release, but this will be an exception. They killed it with the trailer and their own song too

    If you make a game with solid vibes, a post-apocalyptic setting, base management & community permadeath, all wrapped around a This War of Mine feel, you got my attention. I don't do early access so I'm not checking it out yet, but I'll definitely grab Into the Dead once 1.0 is out.

    Random shoutout time! I know I gushed about this game on the other app but sorry folks, I need to do it here too! This War of Mine won't be for everyone. But its incredible art style, grim war-torn apocalyptic setting, addictive loop and difficult choices make it such a unique, compelling game.

    This War Of Mine. Not the most thematically fun game on the planet, but I pull this one out at least a couple of times a year due to it's excellent solo narrative. Easy to run but punishingly difficult - I've only ever won this once. #boardgames #boardgamesky

    I think I needed this break, a very short game, narrative-focused since This War of Mine was not compatible with NS2 and I had started playing it on Steam, but already made so many bad decisions. 😭 Also, after the Sony physical gaming news, it helped me feel more light and less sad.

    Earthborne Rangers is an excellent one. Spirit Island - one turn from the land being overrun, a spirit generates enough fear to send the invaders packing - one of the finest experiences of the soul of a board game. This War of Mine and Black Orchestra are two more.

    a game about the famine that treats the sensitive subject with the care it deserves is possible, like the board game version of This War of Mine we discussed in another thread as an example of a careful approach to the topic of genocide, but it's not the one using fake "oirish" accents in ads

    This War of Mine (it's a board game too). I stumbled across this years ago not sure when and why I started playing it. It's a war game but differs from many war-themed games by focusing on the civilian experience of war rather than front-line combat. Emotional stuff; a survival-themed strategy game.
