Geekscape Mobile: Universal Update Adds iPhone Support To ‘This War Of Mine’

11 Bit Studios’ This War of Mine was always a game that felt made for touch devices, so I was beyond ecstatic when the title officially released on iPad and Android tablets back in July.

This War of Mine is premium title (that bears a price tag to match) with a fantastic interface, incredibly gorgeous, stylized graphics, made-for-headphones audio, and a message that’s absolutely impossible to ignore. It’s a game that’s likely sucked up more time on my iPad than any other, and with it comes an experience that I’ll likely never forget.

If you’re unfamiliar with the title, “in This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.”

You really have no idea of the choices and despair you’re in for with this title, and even with that, I’d emlore you to give it a shot.

Today, This War of Mine became even more portable, as 11 Bit Studios’ latest update has added Universal support to the game. According to the update notes, this comes after a “massive amount of requests from you for the smartphone version,” and that the new version “has been created from scratch to work flawlessly on smaller touch-screen devices while keeping the same level of emotional engagement in stories about civilians in war.”

I’m actually a little scared to play this one on the go, as This War of Mine can be a tremedously depressing experience. In any case, I’m glad that the developer has listed to the requests, and has given players another device to play the celebrated title on.

You can take a look at the trailer for This War of Mine below, and you can pick it up on the App Store for $14.99 right here.
