The President of the United States Trump recently invited game industry representatives to participate in talks at the White House, and claims that it is because of the game, the violence has never disappeared in the United States led to a school shooting.
Is the game really the tool of violence, as Mr. Trump and many politicians say? I'm afraid not. A group of Polish game studios developed an anti-war game 'This War of Mine' a few years ago, showing the cruelty of war to everyone in the form of game art.
Unlike most of the games that used to portray war, 'This War of Mine' focuses on the refugees in the war. A few ordinary refugees, played by players, huddle in shelters and rely on scarce resources to survive. Only on each night did they dare to leave the house under the cover of the night, to search for supplies in the ruins.
Just like real people, survivors of the game is so fragile, in the face of force of armed soldiers almost no strike back, alone at home, I did not know where possible at any time into according to the gangsters. However, there are still more vulnerable people in the game who can be bullied by you. When confronted with an old and helpless old couple, can you hold on to the greed of their goods and let them live?
'This War of Mine' is of an unique viewpoint that makes the cruelty of war more complete. In the Call of Duty first-person shooter game, watching his teammates killed while also very cruel, but the battle is a soldier's mission, die is inevitable. What's more, for players across a layer of screen, destroy the enemy may be even more full of pleasure. And in 'This War of Mine,' the cruelty of war will bring greater misery.
In the game, the characters you control all have their own emotions, and the suffering of the war will bring them down. And once you've had a major change, such as the death of a teammate, or the killing of an innocent survivor in order to rob a resource, it's more likely that the game's character will collapse.
It's more terrible, as reference to the game of Hemingway's words - 'in the modern war, you will die like a dog for no reason', 'This War of Mine' in the catastrophic events always happen in your role for no reason at all. Even if you're ready, a sudden attack at night might kill your teammates. At this point, the player who thought he was in control of the situation realized how small the power of a few ordinary people was before the war.
'This War of Mine' is not just a few artists from high, as a game of playability is also very outstanding. The scene in the game is vivid, the black-and-white color is mainly composed of the scenes revealing the gloomy atmosphere, the low and slow game music has added to the players' inner shadow. The complex resource management mechanism matches the unexpected emergencies, so that the most senior players need to delve into the game system.
This work of anti-war thinking has been widely recognized by gamers. SteamSpy statistics show 2.5 million Steam on players bought the game, and played in and write a review of 35,000, 95% gave high praise, this does not include 'This War of Mine' in mobile phone and other mobile platform and sales on the host.
