War Mines: WW1

Short, simple, sweet. Brief history lesson. No complaints.

Extremely Nice Mine Sweeper!! Easy Achievements, 100% / 35min.

nice game, with a good story. very easy game, took me 30 min to complete

Nice twist to the Minesweeper game. The minesweeper puzzles themselves are a bit small/easy for Minesweeper fans, though.

A short (30-minute) puzzle game that emulates the classic Minesweeper game. Although the graphics are good and the small tidbits about the war are good, the game is VERY short and very easy to get 100% completion. Note that the slick looking animations you may see being played are just micro-scenes that play while the camera moves to the next minefield. As with the classic minesweeper, it is possible to lose because of bad luck. The game is set so that you can quickly restart the level and try again. I would recommend this game, but probably for fifty cents. It isn't poorly done by any means, but the core game is very simple.

This game fixes the main problem with the previous War Mines title. The minesweeper boards are larger so you aren't reliant on getting multiple lucky guesses in a row. It's also less expensive. Does have some grammar errors in the historical descriptions, but nothing horrendous. No replay value-once you've played it you've seen all there is. For future entries, adding a re-playable basic minesweeper game with a theme based on the setting would be nice. Could also try adding some new mechanics to minesweeper based on the wartime setting.
