The highly acclaimed video game “This War of Mine”, that was released about two years ago, gets a special edition wherein your emotions will be tested. Made for mature gamers, “This War of Mine: The Little Ones” whilst it is about civilians trying to survive in a war zone, takes another perspective, from that of a child.

11 Bit Studios, the game developer behind the brilliant, but harrowing video game just made it even more reflective for the gamer when going through the game. The gamer is put in charge of adults and children stuck in a war ravaged city. All are struggling with hunger, lack of medicine, and danger from all sides. What will he/she (the gamer) do in order that they will survive for another day?

We appreciate this game as it treads a different path in giving an immersive game in a war setting. Many of us would rush to snap up the latest releases of Call of Duty, Battlefield, HALO, and many first person or real time strategy games, and blast away against the enemies, without really thinking of the ramifications of war, no matter the storylines of these games tell us.  With “This War of Mine: The Little Ones”, there will be many difficult choices to make just to survive that sometimes you will have to sacrifice someone.

Kids will be kids, even in conflict, the developers say. If you watch current world affairs, and watch footage of children in war zones, such as Syria, you will agree it is true. Kids will still find time to play when there is a lull or it is free to go outside, but for the gamer, he/she will have to need to understand the children in order to protect them.

War, for combatants and non-combatants alike, will bring out both the worst and the best of humanity. For the gamer in “This War of Mine: The Little Ones” will see this happen, in his/her decisions or encounters with game characters in the quest to survive the war with the little ones. It will be cruel and cold, but when it comes to survival, there will be many gray areas of morality.

This game is highly recommended to airsoft players as it gives them another perspective and understanding of war. War is not always about soldiers in battle, there are others involved and they usually are cold, hungry, sick, and unarmed. They are the real victims of war.
