"In This War of Mine: Complete Edition, 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.

The pace of This War of Mine 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 your 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 for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realise that, the better."

The game is priced at £35.99/€39.99 on the UK/European Nintendo eShop but a retail version is available as well and it's worth noting that this is a mature 18 Rated title, so perhaps one for the older gamers.

It's looking like the retail release is already selling out across many online retailers, so this could prove to be a popular title to round off the end of 2018 with.

Expect the full N-Europe review within the coming weeks, but in the meantime...

Where do you stand with this title? Is the mature and brutally honest portrayal of the effects of war something which appeals to you? Will you be picking this up on the Switch in favour of other platforms?
