  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews; while many praise the beautiful visuals and immersive WWII theme, others criticize the lack of customization options and low-quality graphics in certain areas. Overall, the graphics are described as a significant improvement over basic games, complemented by excellent sound effects and engaging cinematics that enhance the narrative experience.

    • “It's got some great graphics and a WWII theme.”
    • “Simple and enjoyable (yet giving brain hypertrophy haha), with nice minimalist 3D graphics, cool cinematics between the levels put you in the WWII context.”
    • “The narrative, environments, and graphics are wonderful.”
    • “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
    • “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
    • “Great idea and improving execution in the actual gameplay which initially the pretty graphics couldn't disguise.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "War Mines: WW2" is described as a progressive narrative that attempts to integrate a World War II theme into a classic minesweeper gameplay, but it suffers from chronological inconsistencies and feels superficial. While some players appreciate the beautiful graphics and the effort to create a narrative around the missions, others feel that the story does not significantly enhance the core gameplay experience. Overall, the storytelling is seen as an attempt to add depth to a simple puzzle game, but it ultimately falls short.

    • “Better art, better storytelling, better gameplay.”
    • “A great narrative on a puzzle game through D-Day missions and Stalingrad.”
    • “A classical Minesweeper game with beautiful graphics and wonderful storytelling.”
    • “War Mines: WW2 is a ripoff of Minesweeper (Microsoft, 1990) with some window dressing and a progressive WW2 themed story... but what Minesweeper didn't need was window dressing, and once you dismiss that, it's just Minesweeper.”
    • “Your missions are about clearing minefields, and that is the end of how the war fits into the game.”
    • “The text in the game states after the D-Day mission that now attention is drawn to the fight in Stalingrad, which doesn't make any chronological sense.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers highlight that the gameplay has improved significantly, with better execution and engaging mechanics, particularly praising the minesweeper elements. However, some feel that the game's value does not justify its price, suggesting it should be more affordable given the gameplay experience.

    • “Better art, better storytelling, better gameplay.”
    • “Great idea and improving execution in the actual gameplay which initially the pretty graphics couldn't disguise.”
    • “I really love the minesweeper mechanics.”
    • “My personal threshold for the value of a game being 1€ for 1 hour of gameplay means that this game should not cost more than 0.5€.”
    • “Great idea and improving execution in the actual gameplay, which initially the pretty graphics couldn't disguise.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is reported to be somewhat buggy, but it generally functions well enough to allow players to complete a few easy achievements.

    • “A bit buggy, but it gets the job done for a few easy achievements.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it frustrating to progress.”
    • “I experienced several glitches that disrupted my gameplay experience.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy for these games is criticized as exploitative, with developers using a copy-and-paste approach to release multiple versions of the same game, often accompanied by fake reviews to mislead consumers. This practice suggests a focus on quick profits rather than quality, with many titles appearing in poor language and lacking originality.

    • “This copy-and-paste method of game development makes a lot of sense if you're running a shovelware cash grab... why dump the game on Steam once when you can dump the same game on Steam twice?”
    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and sound effects are well-designed, contributing to a highly immersive experience that enhances the presentation of historical facts and scenes within the game.

    • “The presentation of historical facts, scenes, and soundtrack creates a highly immersive experience.”
    • “Music, sound effects, image effects, user interface, and the game itself are all well designed.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is described as tense and immersive, significantly enhancing the experience of decision-making and elevating what might otherwise be a simple gameplay mechanic.

    • “I have always been a fan of minefields, but for the first time I felt the weight of decision-making, with a tense atmosphere that elevates the level of a simple game.”
