War Mines: WW2

[h1]Buscaminas Deluxe[/h1] La verdad es que me está gustado mucho. Un ejemplo de como un simple buscaminas de toda la vida se puede convertir en una experiencia muy satisfactoria añadiéndole historia, animaciones y una buena banda sonora. Una pena que no lo hayan traducido al español. Hay otro buscaminas sobre [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/ewoda/recommended/1640100]la primera guerra mundial[/url].

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. Which you can play for free in web browsers, as a mobile app, there's probably a hundred ways to play Minesweeper for free. But these guys want you to pay them cash money for that free game experience. Nice. Now, before you start with "This review looks like it's copy + pasted from the War Mines: WW1 review!", I'll stop you there. Because it is. Which is only fair since [i]War Mines: WW2 is copy and pasted from War Mines: WW1[/i]. There's nothing new or different to mention because it's the exact same game. So the same game, if it's being reviewed objectively by the same reviewer, and to the same standards, should result in the same review, right? This copy + 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? Smart thinking... if you have absolutely no regard for the kind of harm this pollution causes to the Steam marketplace. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes War Mines: WW2 might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 6 players, and they were the Russian shell accounts the developer used to get his paid reviews. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.

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. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. War Mines: WW2 is overpriced at $3 USD, and it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. [b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b]Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.

This developer *might* be very cleverly trying to imbue the futility of war into the player by making there no protection against mines on the first click, having level design which invariably causes most levels to have at least one 50/50 guess to complete. They might also have just made a subpar game and given it fancy graphics. I got 15/16 achievements for this in 53 minutes. I won't be refunding it out of respect for the developer, and because it was only $3, but I wouldn't blame anyone who did. I also encountered a bug related to the scaling of the numbers on first click several times, and discovered the achievement I'm missing is "click on dogs in specific scenarios" after finishing the game, and there's no level select. Giving that achievement a pass.

Cute game, but the clearing algorithm of the mine field is bad. There are way too many cases in which the player needs to guess where the mine is instead of relying on a logical clue. Would be cool to see if the devs fix this.

War Mines: WW2 is at the same time a very simple game and a visual delight! This is the first time that I really understood how to play minesweeper and actually liked it, after ignoring the classic version of the game for my entire life. And this interest is certainly due to the historical second war context that the game presents us through beautiful art, especially for this price range.

A bit Buggy but, gets the job done for a few easy achievements

OMG! What an amazing adaptation of the minesweeper! And in addition to playing a cool game, you also get a real history lesson. I really liked this! Recommended!

Very good game, amazing paced tutorials. The environment makes you immerse, amazing! Music, sound effects, image effects, user interface and the game itself all well designed. Congrats to the developers!

I'll relunctantly give it a positive review : it's a well done game, a nice change of setting for a minesweeper, it can be considered educative too. But I finished it on my 1st (and only) playthrough, all achievements included, in 29 minutes (without skipping the short cutscenes before each level). My personal threshold for the value of a game being 1€ for 1 hour of gameplay, it means that this game should not cost more than 0.5€. Of course, this is a personal point of view, do of it what you want :P Also, the game being still tagged as "profile features limited" at this point (end of july 2021), the achievements and the perfect game status won't be accounted for on your profile.

Хорошая игрушка, ровно такая же, как предыдущая [url=store.steampowered.com/app/1640100/War_Mines_WW1/]War Mines WW1[/url], ровно с теми же плюсами и минусами: - уровни простые, прям суперпростые, кажется, даже проще, чем в первой части, это самый сильный минус; - классический факап оригинала, когда взрываешься на первой же клетке, присутствует; - действие на нажатие двух кнопок отсутствует. Из хорошего: это Сапёр, а так же + симпатичные задники; + немного исторического контекста. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2912999910
