War Hospital offers a decent management experience with nice flavor. There aren’t many games that use World War I as a setting and even less than ask fans to actually heal people rather than kill them. The game’s management aspect is well-executed, although the core gameplay loop tends to become repetitive. The development team also delivers a good recreation of the first worldwide conflict, with a focus on the frailty of humanity and the incredibly limited tools doctors and nurses had to save lives. I hope that Brave Lamb Studio takes the best ideas of War Hospital and refines them, either for DLC or a sequel.
Good game that challenges you with multiple types of resource management. Has a few bugs but being nothing major that really ruins the game, for the price it's more fun then other war games, with a fair amount of replayability.

Conclusion
Pros:+ Detailed graphics+ Good working management functions+ Different and new side of war+ Workers have levels with different character traits and skills to choose from.+ Good atmosphereCons:- Bugs- Only one map- The three chapters are unnecessarily stretched, and they don't differ from each other.- Only a few cut scenes, and they repeat.- No memorable soundtrack- You do the same thing throughout the whole game. Little variety - Too much micro-managementConclusion:It is a nice management game. Above all, it's something unique. One has never seen the war from this side in a strategy/management game. It's fresh but lacks potential and depth. I played it through in 20 hours, but at hour 5, it was the same all over again. Nevertheless, it was still enjoyable. If you catch it on sale, it's a nice experience. Otherwise, you should choose one of the many better management games out there.
War Hospital is a pleasant surprise. With its numerous and good gameplay ideas, its exciting setting. The game has the potential to captivate you for many hours.
I criticized War Hospital quite a bit, but I enjoyed this game. I don’t
have any major complaints about the gameplay, but I was bothered by the
sometimes annoying flaws, missing features, and bugs, as well as ugly
cutscenes. It’s obvious that the developers ran out of time to properly
polish the game but the overall concept and the most part of its
execution are great. I felt similar discomfort while playing This War of
Mine and Frostpunk and I think that speaks well for War Hospital.
War Hospital has a good idea and the core system has some logic and depth to it, but the game itself is boring and lifeless. In short, it's wasted potential.
War Hospital is a primarily functional World War I management simulation game that struggles to establish a meaningful connection between players and their staff and patients. As you progress beyond the initial hours, the gameplay becomes bogged down by repetitive mechanics exacerbated by an inadequate user interface with insufficient tooltips and unclear instructions, accompanied by a host of frustrating bugs that compelled me to frequently reload older save files and restart entire chapters. Despite a promising start, the overall experience is marred by tedium and irritation. Its only redeeming quality lies in its exploration of a scenario rarely seen in the management genre. However, this alone does not warrant an immediate recommendation.
A good but very complex parody of frostpunk. Frostpunk is still made better and more understandable for the player. Too much depends on whether you know what to improve in a particular situation, without guides to pass the 2nd chapter is very difficult, either lack of resources or very quickly drops morale. The dlc even though it looks scary but it is not difficult. For some reason at a point I started to die all the wounded. There are problems with squares instead of letters, bugs were also. Maybe in a couple years this game will be a worthy rival for frostpunk.
SummaryThe year is 1917. You are major Henry Wells, a retired British combat medic, drafted back and thrown into the nightmare of World War I. Understaffed and undersupplied, you are the last bastion of hope for countless soldiers at the French Front.
