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.

Much like 11 bit studios are doing with the original Frostpunk, they're going back to their roots with a complete reimagining of This War of Mine. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/04/11-bit-studios-are-totally-remaking-this-war-of-mine/
