This War Of Mine: Complete Edition Switch Review

- This War of Mine arrives on the Nintendo Switch. This is the complete edition including all previously released DLC. Is it worth a purchase? Find out in our This War of Mine Nintendo Switch review...
Official synopsis: -
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.

Thanks for an in-depth review!
Cheers!
11 bit studios love you guys! I remember getting this on the PS4 during the free games for the month, will definitely be buying for the switch.
Literally just bought every game they made today. Every single one is dope.
Thank you guys for give something that helped me to hold up during quarantine... I survived.
@Genesis Jad I hope you don't mind if I borrow some bucks from your IP :)
Thank you for such a fantastic game
Game is so underrated. Can you believe the complete edition is on sale for $2 on Switch…….Crazy!
I literally just bought it for like 1.97€ for Switch! I always check the offers and even if I haven’t heard of it I’d I see a game for 2€ discounted from like 30 or 40€ I’m buying it! I picked up Signalis for about 7€ too. Bargain!
Today as well, so I bought it 😊
90% off right now in the US eShop! Great review!
Haha just snagged this hence how i ended up here. Wanted to play this for years but the game looked too hard for me to spend more than a few bucks on it but i always wanted to try still lol
How's the game in handheld (switch lite)? It seems to be an important game
@@marchcavrecs6933 played it on switch lite and the controls are horrible. Still it's cheap and still quite a good game.
@@silk9649 controls aren't horrible in the slightest I've played this for years don't complain just improve 🤣
@@matthewbunting1279 💀
I litterly couldnt sleep because i made some really bad choices in this game ...im so glad switch owners can cry with me.
I know the feeling! Feels terrible! Glen
Yep. I've played scenarios where, after being snowed in or cut off from some locations for several days, I was left with no other choice but to steal from the old couple at the Quiet House to survive. When I went back the next day, they were dead in their beds. Instant reset.
@@AJR-zg2py omg same

Ok I must admit I had thought to myself “11 minutes long review? No thanks”. However, just 2 minutes in you had me dragged in and closely listening to every bit of detail and info you were saying. Never did you redundantly mentioned any info twice, it was a compelling and very well written review. 👏
Thank you! It’s comments like this that make it all worthwhile. Glen
I prefere the longer reviews as I want all the details before spending money
As an US Army veteran, this game invokes memories of my deployment to Bosnia 🇧🇦 after the major hostilities have ended. Seeing the ruined buildings, minefields and people who have survived the conflict really had an effect on me. The human condition as a result of war being put into a video game that shows the civilian side of the conflict is an interesting take on things. I definitely will be checking this game out. As always, this review was excellent. I have this on my wishlist.
Thank you for your service. Its becuase of people like you who have that willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice that im able to lay in my bed playing video games knowing I'll wake up in the morning in the most free and amazing country. May the gods (or God im pagan I dont judge) bless you and may the eagle fly high with you.
Very beautiful and poignant comment you made. Thank you for your sacrifice and service from Ireland. No matter if you are a mechanic, cook, supply administrator, infantry, driver,pilot etc every one of you brave selfless people are heroes in my book. You don’t have to be American to recognise that people like you go through hell and suffer and don’t come back all in the name of freedom. I admire and respect all of you guys. I hope you are doing well.
Really glad I found your channel. I got back into gaming when I got a Switch at Christmas,already have 50+ games, and I am going from reliving my Saturn days playing Panzer Dragoon remake, my GameCube days with ReMake, to Doom Eternal to replaying the Bioshock trilogy to FINALLY getting scared stiff with Alien Isolation yo rattling my fears with Subnautica and then checking out stuff I don’t know anything about such as this game.
I got it for 2€ and wanted to check a review out. It is written superbly,you don’t repeat yourself over and over, you get the information across succinctly and tell us everything we really want to know about the game. The video was edited very well and I felt like you showcased the game perfectly.
Subscribed and will be checking out all the reviews in future because you have a fantastic formula for it and you put so much into it too.
All the best from Dublin mate!
What I love about this game is the fact that it brings the survival genre to the next level, where you will care about each of the characters that you let in and the group's needs, day in and day out. It builds tension out of thin air and will leave you asking yourself whether the decisions you made (or are about to make) will be worth it in the long run.
The only downside is the controls, as stated in this review.
And by the way, it's on sale for $15.99 until March 15th.
This is the game that unveiled my sister as a probable sociopath... She played the hell out of this game when I kept talking about it. And to my surprise, she has not felt the same dilemma I did because she automatically goes to the military outpost and kills the soldiers and loots the entire place 0_o she also revels in visiting the brothel and liking everyone there...
Haha, that’s one way of playing it I guess. I always feel guilty doing the wrong thing in games. Glen
is she single?
Damnit glen
@@glencannondr weirdo
If playing a video game can determine if you're a sociopath... you dont wanna see how i play GTA
Which video game evoked the biggest emotional reaction from you after playing it? Let me know in the comments section. Happy gaming everyone. Glen
Great review buddy 👍
Original silent hill, when his daughter is on the phone. Freaked me out back in the day. Or was it Thrill kill and Oddballs finishing move.
Man the opening to Last of Us killed me.. My wife had just given birth to our daughter so that death sucked
The Missing had an ending that just smashed my heart to bits. Also, Transistor hit me pretty hard.
Recently the game that was hugely emotional was Horizon, zero dawn. what a game ! i had to see that through to the end. i think the 100 hours before the climax made me emotionally invested, far more than any film. i also think this game is up there too.
Describing the color, entering the game, “It’s a literal representation, of the light shining through the darkness,” is well said, Glen. 👏🏻
Much appreciated mate. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt 🙏🏼 always welcome, my brother.
Outstanding review! I kept seeing this one come up during on occasional sale, so I came here to find out more about it. Glad I did. It’s now on sale at 67% off ($13.20).
Jeff G. I have had this on my wishlist for a while and this morning I saw it was on sale and bought it which led me to this review to check it out before actually playing. 🙂
2$ lol
One of the best reviews of any game on any platform that I have ever watched or read about
I have bought this game on the basis of Glenn’s review and only just started playing the game but whilst I have laughedAt so many of the reviews Mark and Glenn do this one in particular struck a nerve and reassures me that this should be the one @Patreon that I keep going throughout these difficult times.
I recently saw a video on this channel in which Mark explained the motivation behind setting up the channel and their journey from just a few hundred subscribers and I just want to tell them and anyone that reads it that I wish them all the best, so thank them for their work and feedback that they do do things differently another CZcams channels And it’s very much appreciated in these dark times
5:29 I love that little mario kart pop up
I owned this on PS4 but never got round to playing it, is on sale on Google play, and after watching your brilliant review I have double dipped and got it on mobile, looking forward to playing it. You also earned my sub, cracking review... Keep up the good work 👍
Hi guy, channel just getting better, please don't change your format like so many CZcamsrs do your is an honest genuine review site, game that I remember most of because of how I felt playing it was the first Zelda on the N64 that period of time was ground breaking for gamers,
Cheers Darren. Yeah, honesty is the cornerstone of the channel. It’s what we wanted to promote most when we started doing this. Glen
Currently downloading this, and honestly, I like games that show the raw emotion that events like this show. I almost cried twice during The First Tree. And hopefully, we'll get to see more games like this in the future.
Had been looking at this game on iOS for years. Never took the plunge. I now have a switch and decided after 4 mins of this review to buy it. Can’t wait for it to download!!
A very good game, I think it’s great. Glen
Thanks for this great and clear review. Game was sold with 90% discount (till new years eve there is a grand sale), so that's basically a steal. Very intrigued as I think this is not a game you can play for 5 minutes, put it away and not think about it until the next time you pick it up.
When I saw this on today's sale's video, I just had to check and see if there was a review and, sure enough, there was. At first glance, this is not a game that I would have gone for based on the visuals but, due to the SwitchUp recommendation, actually seeing the game play, and learning of the story line, I am glad to say that it will now be gracing my backlog. I already have Sheltered and this will be a great companion to that game.
This really is a great game. Not 'fun' in the traditional sense, it goes deeper than that but is well worth expereincing. Glen
Any time I am eyeing up a Switch game, I know I can count on you guys to have done a review. Cheers, lads! 👍🏻✨
No worries mate. Glen
$7.99 on sale in the US eshop right now. Great value!
Awesome review.
This is one of the classic games imo.. i connected with this on pc and then played more on the sofa on ps4. i will purchase this one. i hope its popular because its a very clever game thats been sprinkled with genius dust. i want to see more from these talented devs.
Yeah, cracking game this. Not many games make you feel as responsible and accountable for your actions as this one does. Glen
On sale for $3.99 right now on the eshop
Great review! I saw this on sale in the Eshop (CAD) for $5.00 and grabbed it immediately, having remembered your thoughts on the game.
got it on the eshop for 2 cad today
Really glad switch got this. Although I never managed to finish it (is that even possible?) the time I spent with it was gruelling, compelling and effective. I always ended up over working my characters they really need sleep otherwise depression kicks in
Hope it does well. Great detailed review as always guys, hit the nail on the head with the moral dilemmas
You can get through until hostilities end - I think it’s around the 40 day mark. I managed it once (on the PS4 version). It’s tough though. Fantastic game, very powerful stuff. Glen
April 2022, it's currently on sale for $1.99 on the US Eshop. I ended up getting it for like $1.75.
I got it for free from redeeming gold coins!
Just got it with the gold coins too lol xD
I've always wanted to try this game. And now that it's currently 40% off ($29.99 in Canada), I might just pick it up. Thanks for the review and I may just look up more videos on tips and tricks. A game like this feels like it's warranted.
thank you for telling about the discount, i will sure get it before it goes back to normal price :)
It’s in sale in the E-Shop for ridiculously cheap something like 95% off. Picked this up.
Yep like 1.99 over the usual 39.99. Looks like a steal, basically free for me with the points I have on Switch
It’s currently on sale for 2.90 on The nintendo store in 2022 usually goes for 44.99
Great job as always. You nailed it. The controls really ruined my experience on other platforms. I really appreciate the effort they put into it as well as the premise but just can't handle the controls.
Yeah, the controls really are a shame and should have been refined by now after this many iterations over the years. Glen
I download the digital version, but I only have one DLC available for play, which is "The father's promise" where are the other DLCs?? please help!
I have pre-ordered physical for just over £30, just yesterday realised it's not coming out at the same time as digital, now I'm on the fence, really love this game and would love to play it on Switch sooner rather than later.
I think I will pick it up physically eventually too, just for the collection. Glen
You can wait, don't waste your money.
Definitely picking this up. This just looks like pure art and I love that it’s pushing the what would you do scenario. Great review as always!
Yeah, it calls you to question your morals and I like when games do that. Glen
I just picked it up for $2 and I'm very excited to get started!
Whoa... I didn’t expect this level of depth 🤯
Hi Glen! Been excited for this game since it was announced during a Nindies Presentation, but at launch, not sure I can justify the price
Yeah, it is a great game but the price is too high. It would easily have gained another 5% had it been priced a little more appropriately. Glen
How does it play on the Switch compared to the Steam version?
Can someone help me i finish first story but when will the other two stories be unlocked
3 years late here, but this review made me spend the 1.99 for this game. Thanks man.
When I saw your character die.. I seriously just got sold on this game. It's only 4 dollars on switch and I'm buying it instantly after this review
Currently on sale for $9.99 in the US eshop. I think i will pick it up.
Yeah I'm definitely gonna
History inspired game = a watch list add. Thanks again gents.
3 years later this game is still surprisingly difficult to find physical. I got my copy by happenstance but it seems a little scarce.
This War of Mine is definitely a time sink for sure! My older brother played it on the PC.
Yeah, you could do some serious hours on it. Glen
Just got the game for 2 bucks in the eShop. Looking forward to trying this game out.
Its currently on sale on the eShop for $4! Get it everyone!
its on sale right now for $12 on switch store.
I still remember my first run. Marko, Pavle, Bruno and Roman. Everyone was starving, or wounded, or tired. And in those moments, you gotta make a choice. Steal, or pray that you find supplies. It's quite a dilemma. The game is NOT fun, but that doesn't mean it's awesome.
Not fun and not awesome
Quite a sales pitch lol
Its a bargin at the moment on sale at £15 so im going to pick it up today :)
I have this on android already but is it worth getting for switch too or does it not have enough change to justify buying again?
It has all of the dlc included as part of the package but the price is pretty high, especially if you already own it on another device. Hope this helps. Glen
Really liked this review as you rated various aspects of the game. Subscribing!
Many thanks. Nice to have you with us. Glen
What an outstanding review Glen.. you 🎉ROCK🎊.. I’m definitely picking up this game 😁👍🏽😁👍🏽😁.. when physical version comes out
Thanks Craig, glad you enjoyed it. I think I’ll add it to the collection physically at some point down the line too. Glen
SwitchUp u welcome
It’s $2 USD on the eShop right now until 10/18/22.
$2.00 atm, will buy
This was a superb review! Is 95% off right now and hell im going to pick this up. I remember this war. I was in my teens when this was going on
I would like to see a review of Cop Out it has same developers as War of mine but very different.
Was trying to find out about this game, but finding this channel is a better result for me, great review!
Excellent stuff. Thank you!
I found this on sale for 4 bucks. I’ll most likely get it, it looks great!
I was expecting yet another FPS...
Can't say I'm disappointed, this looks interesting.
Yeah, it’s not your average war game that’s for sure. Glen
Does this game have more content than tha one in ps4?
Just picked this up on the eShop in (June 2021) for only $3.99! I’m excited to make some tough choices. Lol
Have you played it yet? How is the UI in handheld? Thanks
@@marchcavrecs6933 sadly not yet. Have you seen the news about the Switch update that’s preventing digital game downloads? That’s what I’m currently dealing with 😭😭
Heard great things about the story so may have to pick this up if it plays well on Switch, time to watch the vid to see, lol
It really is a great game, just a bit too expensive. Glen
As expected, a perfect review to help me decide whether or not to buy... It's currently $11.99 on the eShop (US).
I have a lot of time for this game. They did a great job making you care about your characters. Glen
Currently 4 dollars
@@linker27 a steal!
@@noradurst5317 1.99, 95% off now
Man, making those life and death decision.... can't be easy. Looks really cool but I don't wanna be shedding *tears* on my Nintendo switch 😆
Haha. Yeah, it’s brutal. You are holding your breath every time you have to go out at night. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt ya, that's crazy! Definitely a unique game, I really do appreciate the concept
"Games aren't meant to have any depth or meaning, isn't that what they say?"
Amazing, it currently £7.19 on the Eshop! :D
Great price!
Wow, I keep seeing great reviews , and I believe them . I just find it a bit stressful , not what I need from a game . Bravo to the developers though .
This war of mine is more of a horrific experience than a relaxing game! 🤣 it's fantastic but I fully understand what you mean!! This games destroys me and makes me feel terrible!!!
@@craiglupo2041 wow
I have the updated version in steam. the one with kids. now that's heartbreaking. they get depressed fast.
Great review. Thank you. This game is currently on sale at like.. approx £12 I think. Would you recommend buying at that price?
Most definitely. As long as the premise sounds interesting to you. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt You won't believe it, I missed it! Yesterday must have been the last day. It's up to £36 again. Hard to justify paying three times what it was yesterday! I maybe wait til on sale again. Have you played The Touryst? I was thinking of getting it. I got the Spongebob Bikini Bottom Rehydrated today also.
It's on sale now
On sale right now for $1.99 in the Nintendo Eshop, complete edition …
Jus downloaded for like $4 on eShop...My only complaint so far is I don't understand why they didnt make use of the touchscreen...They definitely should add an update
hi, any chance you could provide more details about the game's performance on nintendo switch ? is it laggy ? or perhaps any input delay ? thanks bro :D
Nice review switch up I think this game take some of TWD TT & The flame of the flood. and put it in the middle of war xD keep it up !!
That sums it up pretty well! Glen
Thanks for the review. Liked it when I first heard of it but the price is just is too high. Your review makes it quite likable. Hopefully, they'll give it deep discount soon.
Yeah, with a discount it would be a massive recommendation. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt I agree. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll pick it up even at 50% off. Kinda seem they deliberately priced it too high from the get-go
Leo Akin it’s been a while but if you want it it’s on sale right now for $15.99 in the US store
Great review. I felt the same way about the price when I saw this in the e shop coming soon section, it's $44 in Canada. It's a well made game I have it on PC and was debating on getting it for my switch. I'll definately be waiting on a price drop.
Thank you. Yeah a great game let down a little by uncompetitive pricing. Glen
Well now its €2
The gameplay is really realistic, life in war, excellent gameplay just not for me in real life, really hard life even in the game, always love when it’s a complete edition, like the music and pencil color design, yikes will wait for when it’s on sale for 20 dollars. thanks for the words, have a wonderful day.
Yeah, when on sale it would be very easy to recommend. Glen
Its on sale right now for $20 USD on the eshop
On sale now UK eshop £1.79
Your review flipped my view on this game from I'm not sure I like the look of it to I might actually get it but then you got to the price.. I like a bargain but that seems like a high price.
Yeah. Stick it on the wish-list mate. Or seek out the physical copy once it inevitably drops a bit. It’s a great game. Glen
I actually got this game as part of a bundle when I bought frostpunk for around 27 dollars or so with the dlcs and season pass off of steam so great deal on my end 👌
Amazing review, you just made me buy the game :)
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Glen
Amazing channel, amazing review
This is the only issue I had with this game, I played on mobile but even on mobile th controls are a bit of your enemy, I figured I'd try it on the switch, but it seems that error is still there
This is a wonderful review! It made me really want to give this one a shot, but I will wait until a decent discount comes along. Great work Glen!
Cheers Jace. Yeah, I think a discount is needed on this current price for it to be a full recommendation. Shame as the game deserves it. Glen
your time has come!
@@NejisBreakingVlogs is it on sale?!
It's on sale now for $19.99

Excellent review. Thanks buddy 🌟
Hi! I can't seem to be able to find it in switch catalogue. Any idea why?
It's definitely there. The eShop is a bit of a nightmare to navigate though.
@@SwitchUpYt Thanks. I believe it is region locked. If I log in the US store, I can find it and even ad to my wishlist. But I'm unable to buy it...
Maybe it has something to do with the war in Ukraine
@@Bluegirl12345 It was more country-related. We have a US Store now and it shows :)
@@Bluegirl12345 Nevertheless, i couldn't play the game because of the war. It seems wrong somehow...

This is currently on sale for $3.99
Bargain!
It’s $2 now on the eShop
Why didn't they input the game like the mobile version?
I wish you would elaborate on combat. Is there even combat in this game? Can you fight or shoot guns? Melee weapons?!
+Joe David you can find guns at certain points and attempt to fight but must be careful as if a character dies, they are gone for good
20 dollars on switch.
Thanks for the review and I was expextinh that control frustation xD
