When This War of Mine first released, it was celebrated for its deep, personal, and emotional story of the real-life stories and struggles of everyday people during times of war. So often, war games celebrate the heroic and violent acts of soldiers, but ignore the daily struggles for survival that civilians face in their grim and dark new reality.

Now, on the heels of the tablet release, 11 bit studios announced that their emotionally-charged game is finally available for smartphones. And to accommodate the smaller screens, the interface has been streamlined to be much more user friendly on smartphones, without sacrificing the game’s design or story.
