Today Soy de Mac We are going to give another twist to this game thing and it is that, if there is something abundant in the Mac App Store, it is games of all kinds, from those designed for the little ones to begin their learning, to incredible graphic action adventures , adventures and mysteries. But today we are not going to focus on games for Mac following the criteria of their theme, but rather paying attention to their creators.
Usually it is the games developed by large and prestigious studios that tend to be more successful both in terms of downloads and criticism by specialized media, however, there are other types of developers, the independent, who make an incredible effort to bring their creations forward. At Apple they have been able to recognize this work by creating a featured Indie Games section, and today in Soy de Mac We are also going to indicate some of the ones that we find most interesting. So, if you are looking for a different game than usual, maybe you should continue reading.
This War of Mine
This War of Mine It is a warlike game, but very different from what you have seen so far. Usually, in war games you adopt the identity of an elite soldier, however here you represent a group of civilians who are trapped in a besieged city and whose objective is none other than to survive.
This War of Mine "It offers an experience of war seen from a completely new angle" in which you will have to face the lack of food, medicine and the constant danger of the snipers that lurk.
Day and night will set your pace: stay safe from snipers during the day, explore outside under the cover of the night sky, and prepare for tough decisions.
Make life and death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everyone in your shelter or sacrifice some of them for long-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions, there is only survival. The sooner you realize it, the better.
This War of Mine it is compatible with all Mac with OS X 10.7 onwards and has a cost of 18,99 euros.
