Great game, but as always, there's room for improvement.. I love the new country additions, especially Korea. However, the AI countries don't interact with each other even if they both have forces fighting on my territory or are direct neighbors. Also, the scenarios are a little below their full potential, and some, like the American Revolution, are too difficult for me to enjoy. Also, if you could choose a preset map in the custom scenario menu, and select the AI Civs that are playing with you, you could recreate the era of your choice. Also, I would like the turn limit per game removed. It's only annoying, because sometimes you're only a turn away from building the UN or World bank, or a turn away from reaching Alpha Centauri, and someone you could easily beat ends up winning due to POINTS- WHAT?! Lastly, more countries would be more than welcome. I would enjoy these four in general: Carthage and the Huns to conflict with Rome, the Incas to conflict with the Aztecs, and the Ottomans to match Germany. Sorry for the length of this review and sorry for any grammar errors, I use the German on my phone.

Not as bad as most reviews, but.... I really enjoy Sid Meier's Civilization games, and I am a big fan. I did not find this game to be nearly as "buggy" or poorly made as I have read. However, it is also far from being perfect. The biggest issue I had was with the first game I started. I played it through almost to the end, but I learned the hard way the importance of saving the game. I left the game idle twice while preparing a meal and both times the iPad went blank and upon unlocking it again, the game had to reload completely but I was happy to see a "continue game" option. The first time I pushed "continue game" it worked fine. The second time failed 10 times before I gave up. I kept getting stuck forever on the loading screen. I was almost to the end of the game and it got me pretty discouraged. I miss options like "hold for one turn." I have to move the armies fully or push the "defend position" button. I constantly forget what I have on the board because I have to put so many armies in the defense mode. I also battle with lag and long loading times. It is still fun though. It does work, is playable, has most features of the other versions, and is fun. I am generous with my 4 star rating but if this gets updated again and fixed, it will be an easy 5 star.

Fun game. Good game! The graphics are amazing. But I think that the game would be better if it had a bigger expanse of cultures. Wish there were Native Americans. The game is amazing as it is. I wish that it auto saved though. Twice in my one save, I had accidentally pressed the wrong button and lost a bunch of progress because I forgot. Also, for some reason when I attempt to get out of the notifications about achieving a victory, it brings me to the home menu. Again with the not-being-able-to-save. Great expanse of female characters! However, I feel in the tidbit of description about water vehicles should have a bit more about whether or not it can go in deep water. The last thing I feel that could be added is a setting that only allows you to war with one NPC civilization at a time. It got a bit tedious in one of my games, where I was just starting out and had a very small amount of forces- think I had just unlocked knights. Anyway, I soon found the Germans, the Indian, and the Japanese. The Indian declared war on me. However, as previously stated, I had small forces, and could only fight one civilization, when all of a sudden the Japanese made me give up something or another for peace. Then the Germans did it! I had to give in to them, or I would’ve been crushed!

Good game but still needs a serious update!!!!! Don't waste your money.. This is a good addition to the Civilization universe, but there are still problems with it. For one the AI is as dumb as a bag of hammers and that's insulting to the hammers. The AI hardly ever declares war on another AI civ and will go to war with you when you have tanks and aircraft and they are feebly attempting to invade you with legions. Also, and this is very annoying, you cannot capture enemy spies without declaring war on the civ it belongs to while they can capture yours with out going to war. Some wonders can be constructed completely out of era for example, and the AI does this a lot, the Eiffel Tower, Scotland Yard, and the SETI can be build very early on without regard to prerequisite technology. All of these problems diminish strategy and overall gameplay. If these problems were resolved it would bring the game up to the level that civ fans expect. So get on it!!!!!! It has been over a year without a significant update.

Fun game. It's been a long time since I've played Civilization. I've played similar games since then (Warcraft, Age of Empires, etc), so I wasn't too rusty. 😄 I did have to play at level 2 (Warlord) since I didn't know what I was doing. The tutorial was very basic, so I had to search the internet for more details. I did play to a world domination victory, but that's only because the computer players didn't really advance their technology. That's fine since I was still using legions in the 1900s! I'm sure the higher levels will stomp on me if I don't start to understand the technology tree better. So I would definitely recommend level 2 to get "just enough" challenge for your first game. There's a lot of details to the game which makes it fun for me. These games can take many hours, but since it's turn based it makes for a great mobile game though since you can just stop and start at anytime.

Easily my favorite phone game. What could I have accomplished if I had never discovered Civilization Revolution? With the time I have spent playing it, I’m sure I could have become fluent in 3 or 4 languages. Or maybe I would have become a full stack developer, perhaps even designing and building games like this. No regrets, though, I have enjoyed every minute of it. It has given me a much-needed respite from a sometimes discouraging world. I love the variety of available civilizations, each with unique strengths. I love that there are other ways to win besides Domination (though I seem to default to that). If you prefer a more peaceful outcome, you can choose to win a Cultural, Technological, or Economic victory. I like the use of terrain for tactical advantage. I like the way units gain skills as they gain experience. I only wish there were an advantage to a combined arms attack featuring infantry, artillery, and mobile units in the same space. That is a pretty fundamental principle of military strategy. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable game. Thanks for the memories!

I got ripped off. For the price of this game I thought I was going to have hours of fun strategically out witting the other players. I set up my custom scenario and the only way to win is to capture the capital of all the other players. After about an hour I’m setting up to get some of the items I wanted bombers/nukes Etc. (as a side note everyone’s at war with you! The other AI’s have no clue about each other nor do they care. So you’re fighting a 5 sided war. Just to put that into perspective the Germans lost WW2 because they were fighting a two sided war) so i’m about to start on the first opponent and it tells me in 5 turns the game is over! Wait I didn’t put that in my scenario! To bad game over and there’s no way to change that. Wow that’s $10 worth? What they have done is put a respected named game on a stripped down game to rip people off thinking they’re getting that game, you’re not! You’re getting WAY to easy or WAY to hard of a game. Save your money and get one of the others in this genre for free and just as good of gameplay.

Huge Civ fan. Of the OG Sid Meier versions. Mostly 2 and 3. The latest version 6 is a bit sluggish for me and don’t love the extra complexity. This version is comparatively very basic but has enough of the civ DNA to keep me playing. It’s never been buggy for me, only crashed maybe 2 or 3 times in years of playing and the auto save only sets me back one or 2 moves. The game play, opponent behavior, is a little predictable after a while but that’s ok. The other variables like land and resources make it interesting regardless. My only minor gripes are the silly character animations and sounds they make. A bit cartoony and goofy but some may love that. Also wish there was an option to turn off battle animation or simplify.

Not as Good as Civilization Revolution on Xbox. There are somethings that I liked having in CivRev 2. The new additions added onto game were worth adding into the sequel. I found it really cool to see new Great Leaders and the new Korean Civilization to play as or play against with the new units such like the Top-Tier Special Forces unit or the Drones unit. The Scenario Generator mode was a feature I wish was available on the Xbox but instead only had preset Scenarios that were interesting but not customizable so I am glad it was added onto here and was improved slightly compared to CivRev 1 on IOS. But I felt that deploying troops was clunky and it made it really punishing to have so many units in your arsenal, especially end game. Even worse added onto that was a lack of the “wait” feature on some units like the ICBM or Great People that keep asking over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, over, and over again where to be placed even though I intend to keep them there for later use. There is no longer the feature that allows you to sell your units so now not only do I have a huge number of units that is annoying to use but I can’t get rid of it unless I go to war, forcing me to play a certain way.

Amazing strategy game.. Ever get tired of playing really fun strategy games that just make you wait longer and longer to make your next move or build your next building and try to get you to buy "gold" with real money simply to not have to wait? Then this is the game for you. This is a strategy game where you can make advancements and moves without ever being asked to pay extra with real money to hurry things up. Yes, there are wait times, but they are aimed to make the player plan strategically each move and you will never have to wait an arbitrary amount of time..this game isn't a money squeezer it is an actual strategy game. It can be time consuming but in the best way.

Great Adaptation. I’ve enjoyed the Civilization games on my PC from Civ 2 thru 5 and am amazed they were able to port it to mobile devices. This version has elements of Civ 2 and 3 mostly. It is a simplified and sped up version of the PC game. I think most of the simplification was probably necessary to get it to play on mobile without crashing devices, but I found it still plays surprisingly well. Eliminating workers actually enhances game play, I think. Not sure how confusing it would be for players not already familiar with the game concepts but I am enjoying it a lot. (In contrast, I deleted Civ 6 in a couple days.) They do provide a tutorial and, of course, the Civilopedia. The maps are fairly small with snaky land masses and islands. I wish they let us reduce the quantity of ai opponents so they could be farther apart and we don’t find them so quickly. I appreciate the custom game settings. Sometimes it’s nice to just play in “no war” mode. I can't tell you how much I enjoy being able to stack units again!

Bad AI, needs multiplayer.. The title says it all. No matter how good or how poor you're doing, every comp civ will wage war with you. Even if a much better target is within a much more reasonable distance, the comp will ignore it to attack you. If you pay off a comp to attack another comp (which is an option sometimes), nothing with happen. You'll pay gold for nothing. Despite this, the AI is terrible at expanding it's own civs, building 2 cities over the course of an entire game, and either funneling most of it's resources into it's armies (to attack you), or into cultural/scientific expansion (which you can't stop because you're too busy fighting everyone else). When I tried this app out, I got the distinct impression that the comps did not care who won, as long as I lost. These issues would easily be bypassed by a multiplayer function, replacing terribly coded comps with actual people. However, this is not a function, and as such, this throwaway app is not worth the $10 required to play.

Last bug fix.. July 2015....Really?. I'm a huge fan of the civilization revolution games, but this version is pathetic. In a few days it is going to be an entire year since the last bug fix! Even longer since the last new content update, but the bugs are so bad no one cares about new content just fix the bugs!! For example no AI leaders will know anything about other leaders or interact with each other for the entire game!! Which throws out many strategies where you could put 2 civilizations against each other... And the special forces are completely useless, if you can research modern warfare you lose your ability to produce modern infantry (best defenders in the game (4 attack 8 defense)) inexchange for for special forces (which are complete assclowns costing 20 extra production and have 8 attack 4 defense). The tech modern warfare is a good way to lose a close game, but that's to say if you didn't get bored of all 4 AI's thinking your the only other leader in the game. There are many other bugs just read other people's reviews of this update since its been out for a year and only 1 out of many have given it 5 stars. I wouldn't recommend buying it until they put out a bug fix even then at 7$ it's still an abandoned game (was 15$ upon release which just goes to show its diminishing quality).

Brings back great times. Loved playing this on PC, iPhone 8+ version is a lot of fun. Game runs very smooth and just had one glitch where my troop was invisible when I attacked a city, this caused the game to stop working because the enemy had nothing to shoot at. It happened 3 times, so I just make sure I save my progress often and if it happens I can try a different strategy, this is a good work around if it happens to you. Otherwise, it’s been a great mini version of the PC game. So many different ways to strategize and so many different ways to reach victory. The game will provide months, if not, years of enjoyment.

100% Honest Review. The title says it all. As you can see in the screenshots of this game it appears that you can see the entire planet as a ball. This is a Lie, you cannot see the planet. In fact when you launch a nuclear bomb and it zooms out to follow the bomb you see the end of the earth as complete emptiness. People are saying this game is different from the first which I have playd extensively, and it is not. The only difference is the graphics. The AI is poor and the hardest setting is very beatable. They ask you for money for a truce so they will not attack you Even If Your AboutTo Destroy Their Last City. They take a long time to create new settlements and thusly lose mid game if you just spam settlers early on. All of the leaders have the exact same bonus as civ rev 1. In fact the pictures for every technology is exactly the same as civ rev 1. Now if your a fan of textures and your willing to drop an extra five bucks that is literally all you will be getting in civ rev 2. AI technology and leaders Are Exactly The Same.

Good Game. The game is exactly what I hoped it be, an easy way to play Civilization on my phone. A few small things, I haven’t been able to get a technology win as every time I build the space station, it logs it as a domination win even if I haven’t taken over any capitals. Another, I wish you could upgrade the armed forces or sell them, but instead I end up with a bunch of pikemen sitting around when I’m using my tanks and stealth fighters to actually do the fighting later on in the game. With these items fixed I could easily give the game a 5 star review. Keep improving the glitches and small oversights on this mobile version and it’ll be a can’t miss game to have on any strategy-game-fan’s phone!

some suggested fixes. I used to love this game however some additions to this game have broken it since the last time I played it, please bring back the north and south poles removing them makes the whole seeable map playable but allows the AI to play the part of the map you can't see (right now I'm playing a map were the computer put a city of mine on the edge and I suspect there's a city on the lower edge of the continent that I cannot see or invade basically making the game unwinnable) please also get rid Of the 100% defense bonus in your own city it's nice if you're defending but it breaks the game because you cannot attack it just ends up being an hour long siege for every city you pretty much need artillery with a general and naval bombardment to even have a chance and even still it's a risk

It’s a Civ game on a phone. It’s a decent game not very good but it kills time when you’re away from home. This can’t be compared to other Civ games because it’s just doesn’t have the power to have that kind of depth. It is old school build a huge unit stack and unleash on the opposition. My issues is the game is thought to control and often frustrating. It. Seems kind of buggy as far as controls go. I often have to track down a unit in order to heal it because there is no skip action button you either have to make all the moves you can or defend. If your unit is defending it just gets skipped so if you have any wounded unit you have to track them so you can heal them. If you don’t they just sit there and don’t heal. The positive is it’s a fast paced game which it should be for a phone game. And it has very powerful wonders in the end game. So it’s a fun way to kill a few hours.

Still a Civilization game. Long time Sod Meier’s Civilization fan, and there are definitely gameplay elements that I miss in this pocket version. But I find the core to still be true to the heart of the game, and an improvement over the first Revolutions game. I took a star off the review for the current version of the app, had some glitches that I was able to resolve by deleting and redownloading. With other reviewers, I also have become frustrated with the economics of Civ games, hefty buy-in for each new game and then paid updates for expanded content to fix and expand gameplay. For me, it’s still a Civ game and I’ve lost hours to the addicting gameplay. Still a positive review, then.

Awesome game, you get used to the bugs (lol). Very nice game for mobile. It’s not better than the Xbox 360 version, however it is good. Few problems are: the ai civilizations don’t declare war on each other or don’t deal with each other - they don’t even know the other civilizations exist, even if they are right next to each other - this definitely is big bug needs to be fixed. Otherwise, it feels like it’s all civilizations vs you which is more fun, but it takes away life from the game. Also, the late game special forces are useless, the standard infantry are much better for defense. The aircraft carrier also is useless since it’s already near the end of the game to make an impact. Buff up the special forces and and fix the game ai - you are good to go!

Great game not much different then console civ rev. The console version was probably the most replayable game of all time. This version extended that to mobile devices. The only problem is once you figure out a few key techniques you’re owning on deity every game. There should be a harder difficulty imo. I also think they should make a rev 3 because a lot of people don’t want to sink a couple weeks into an overly complicated civ6 style game and with a few tasteful improvements, harder difficulty and removing things like air attack animations and adding back overrun it would be great. Nobody want to watch any of those attack animations and those could easily be speeded up at the very least.

Good but requires more updates. The game is amazing but still requires some updates. For example, there should be a button to “defend” for great people because it is very annoying when great peoples are located inside of cities but require a move every turn. By “defending” great peoples would remain muted until they are required by the player at which point the player can hold on the great peoples and activate them. The current situation is very annoying as it requires players to make a move for great peoples every turn even if the player is patiently waiting to use them at a later time in a given city. Small details like this can make or break an entire game session as it frustrates the player. I hope whoever reading this in 2k takes the time to investigate this and bring it to the attention of people who can fix it.

Worth the Upgrade. I didn't upgrade from the earlier version of iPad Civ for a long time because reviews led me to believe it wasn't worth the cost. I agree that the upgrade isn't drastically different but it has enough cool bell and whistles to make it worthwhile. The new leaders are nice even if Kennedy seems brain damaged. There are new military units, wonders and technologies. The Deity level seems harder on this version. My biggest gripe is the lack of a wait function on the units which the earlier version had. For military units, this means you HAVE to fortify to remain in place which makes them inactive on the next turn. If you want to pocket a great person for later use, now you have to run them around in circles each turn. Bottom line, the game is nearly glitch free, has better graphics, and a number of new additions. It still doesn't have the full features of the PC version but I wish I'd upgraded to this version sooner. Definitely worth the money.

Marvelous Game!!! Could use updates. This is probably the best civilization game I’ve ever played. I’m a huge civilization simulator person, and unlike the previous game like this I played, Rise of Kingdoms, this goes beyond my expectations. Awesome job! Also unlike RoK, there are certain game aspects that make each leader unique, but if one civilization has two, both leaders have at least one similarity. For example, both Catherine and Lenin of the Russians have the basic Horsemen unit replaced with Cossacks, but Cossacks produced with Lenin start as veterans. Awesome job on that as well! Now for some constructive criticism: Updates. Here are some interesting updates I would like to see. 1. Ability to see military relationship status, between other civilizations, which can mean war with other civilizations 2. If you and an ally do not like another civilization, you can band you forces together and fight them as allies 3. New civilizations: Italians, Israelis, Dutch, maybe Vikings? 4. New scenarios: WW1, WW2, what I’m trying to say is, real world or hyper realistic events. Please kindly listen to these update ideas, they could make this awesome game even more awesome.

Great handheld version of civ. 1) Less complex than PC versions of Civ, but perfect for handheld device. 2) Allows for quicker (still multiple hours in most cases) games. This game is still far more complex and interesting than most handheld games 3) most complaints about bugs can be solved by learning the controls and the "flow" of each turn. The game presents you with things to do on each turn in a certain order; if you fight the game you will become frustrated, instead go with the natural flow of the game. Also learn all controls, touching or holding in the right place allows you to do the things you want or find the information you need. All the information and controls are there, you must learn how to play the game in order to fully utilize everything. 4) Wish there was Hot-Seat two player for trips and such on ipad

Leaderboards, Tournaments, Friends???. This game is great. I love the concept of Civilization and glad they brought it to IOS/mobile. But the only thing I find saddening and kind of disappointing is having a friends system but not being able to add /or play with a friend. My father and I bought this game for $4.99 wanting to play together / against each other but we have come to find out that you cannot do so. I know it’s been years so this review more than likely won’t get looked at. But it would be awesome if they added in a multiplayer system wether it was playing with AI’s and playing with a buddy over LAN. Thank you for the game 2K and I’m happy/impressed with what you did for us Civ mobile gamers. But not having a multiplayer option anywhere is kind of boring and disappointing. Would be a cool last little update :) fairly easy to do so aswell!

Civ Rev 2. I’ve been playing the original Civ Rev for ages now and when I saw that they had the second one on IOS I just had to get it. Over all the game play is solid. It’s exactly like the first game with just a ton of new additions. These additions like new world leaders and such give the game that replay value that you always want to have in a game. The one real problem that I’ve noticed so far is when you have a incredibly large amount of units on the map it creates a lot of lag and a significant drop in the frame rate, but not so much so that it makes the game unplayable. As for the price I do think it’s worth it, but the Civ Rev games have always been casual so it attracts that kinda of market, and if I didn’t already have an appreciation for the game I don’t think I would have paid $9.99 plus tax. All in all, the game is a solid 4.5/5 stars. And if you like Civilization games then you should definitely pick this one up.

Wish it was still worth the $$$. I had this game on my console way back when, and once it came out for IOS I immediately downloaded it for whatever the cost, as it is one of my absolute favorite games. This iteration was fine, the load glitches come and go and aren’t really that bothersome if you have a more advanced device. The reason why I have finally decided to give this game such a bad review is because they released a broken version of the game and never came back to fix it. Unless I am the only person to experience this, my issue is that the opponents in any given scenario seem to be incapable of communicating with each other. The concept of colluding with one country to eliminate another is one that drives the core function of this game. For it to not even be available is just a shame. While I am sure they have made more than their $$$’s worth and this review is in no means an attempt to stop anyone from purchasing the game. No this review is basically a desperate cry for the game to be fixed... Please, PLEASE fix this game, or at least release an IOS version of Civ Rev VI so I can play again!!

Same game, ruined interface. The first version is the best game on iPad period. They never quite fixed the quirky bugs from then, and the latest 3D interface makes the game much less pleasant. It’s cool that they added some new leaders, and that you have to unlock some of them. Very difficult to select units. Cannot see what units are in a stack without waking up every single unit in the stack. And to add to the madness, the “next unit” selection is essentially random (it was never this broken in 2D) so it’s hard to manage many units, especially since some units cannot be told to fortify, sleep or wait, so you have to page through them every freaking turn. Late game is unplayable madness due to horrible unit selection. I can easily beat this with any character in hardest mode, but I have probably played 10k hours on Civ Rev. This is the worst one but I still play it.

Needs Serious Update. This game is a spot on reference to the Xbox 360 version of CivRev including graphics, layout, and overall gameplay, yet with the 360 version you got to see just about every building in your cities including the wonders as well as watched your units change styles whenever they were upgraded to have a special ability. I think the makers could add to the graphics to let us see what buildings we have in the cities and also let us see the wonders that have been built. Also more scenarios would be greatly appreciated, and it Would be even better if the scenarios followed the outline for them that was written, like global warming, "water is rising and resources are becoming scarce" yet when I start the game it looks like any other randomly generated map on one huge continent with very little water separating the civs and plentiful resources. What's the point of a scenario if it doesn't follow the written scenario? And do barbs only attack the actual players civ? I have yet to see a barb attack a computer player and I have yet to see a computer player attack another computer player or even meet another comp player within the game, even in late eras, all of these are making me regret the $10 I spent on this game.

Doesn't add much to the original. If you played the original Civilization Revolution, there's not much new to see here. Ranged city attacks, a few new techs/units/wonders, and "improvements" to the graphics that make me miss the simplicity of the previous installment's more cartoonish style. There's simply not $15 of value here. The AI is also really odd. Computer players will never acknowledge having met each other, and never seem to go to war with each other. The computer players park units next to barbarian encampments, and never try to clear them. It’s a stretch to use the term “scenario” for the scenarios; there’s really nothing to them. And despite the fast pace of the game, the late game manages to be even more tedious than it is in the full-blown Civ games (in particular, the late-game run to wrap up a victory feels pretty much the same in every successful game). That said, it’s still fun to play—to a point—

Developer had iOS 11 beta for the past year and still no update?!?. So iOS 11 has been available to developers for the past year and any company who gives a s@$t actually spent time to update their apps for iOS 11 and had them ready to go at the release date. Obviously this company preferred to take peoples money and not provide any support or update to an app that I’m sure took them time to develop. What a wasted investment on the companies behalf and what a waste of the revenue all the users have provided already. If I do the math correctly looking at even an average of just people who reviewed this, let’s say 4000 people then that’s $40,000 on just the reviewed app. Now let’s say maybe about 10% of people who buy apps review it, which would be generous since all the research points to 5% and under. $400,000 (which is definitely a low estimate for this popular game) is quite a haul for hem not to have an update ready and waiting when iOS 11 came out. Either the business people for this company hate money, or are just stupid. Hope another company buys the rights to Sid Meyers collections and makes twice as much.

Better Than Expected. When I first loaded this up, it seemed to be Civ Rev 1 with some improved graphics. Didn't play it much. Lately I've been playing it more and it appears there have been two major changes - more leaders and improved late game tech/wonders. Some of the late game buildings now actually have drawbacks which makes the game a little more balanced. Several issues still remain - the AI always declares war, you can't upgrade units expect for one wonder, the AI cheats obviously in the higher difficulties (e.g. units magically appear out of one tile in the middle of your territory), there's no way to divert production to gold or science, etc. if you played Civ Rev 1 this list will sound very familiar. Still, a little more solid than its predecessor and diverting for short games.

Abandoned Game with TONS of bugs. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME UNTIL THEY UPDATE IT! I was excited to play this game after putting so many hours into the first one. It is nearly IDENTICAL to the first version with the the same gameplay except broken. See the last updated date? It's showing you the game is abandoned by developers. They added new leaders, units, and tech which is superb. HOWEVER the game itself is hardy functional. Being the first to finish technology past the first few columns presents you with a screen like you would receive a bonus however nothing happens! The AIs are even more useless than the first game. They can only recognize the player meaning they never declare war on each other, and you can never pay them to attack enemies. They just defend useless plots of land in front of barbarians for thousands of years before declaring war on you. They can literally stand next to another civilization, but the moment you ask about that civilization they'll reply with "I've not heard of this civilization". Come on! I have no idea how much they paid for the "editors choice" seal but it's obvious the editors never played the game because it's more broken than the first somehow. This game could easily be 5/5 if they fixed bugs making it unplayable. Developers quit caring for this game a year ago, they're probably doing a couple tweaks and you can buy the slightly more fixed version rebranded "Civilization 3" for another sum of money.

Fixes needed, but decent port of CivRev. Longtime player of CivRev on Xbox360, and graphically, this game is all there in single player- with about 80% fidelity to gameplay. Still needs two major fixes: 1) even on deity, AI id abyssmal. They can't even kill barbs... meaning they get trapped from expansion from the start. Don't even get me started on their "send a single unit to attack" when you're at war. Really, really far too easy. Shame, as this makes gameplay boring quite fast.. 2) You can't sell units for gold, so early on, you end up with lots of extra spies and in the modern eras, all barb huts give... Horses. That's really not too useful. All in all an ok diversion, and of course lacks the multiplayer mode that made the original truly great... but ok.

It can steal hours. I have to say I’m already a fan from Cids civilization games. This is a great game and this newest version fore the iPhone is just what I was looking for. You pay for the game once, you play, it’s has potential for days of different types of play time. You loose time as it pulls you in. As opposed to all those other games that you have to pay every time you want to keep the game going. Like Dominations, makes it just fun enough you pay .99 cents to get a bucket of crowns so you get the upgrade. $20 later and your still in the same situation. Need more crowns to get upgrades. This game is honest and lots of fun!!! With continuous play and unlimited scenarios, I hope this developer continues to release games like this.

Stripped down design and no tutorial. Lacking throughout. Bought this cause I played Civ 5-6 on my computer and even Civilization Revolution 1 on xbox 360. I remember Revolution 1 being quite fun but returning to Civilization Revolution 2 on here and other platforms, I’ve come to realize just how dull and limiting it is. Firstly there are so much fewer choices compared to the other games in the series and it does not perform very well on my iPad. While offering many enjoyable goofiness and characters, the gameplay and strategic choices available to people are underwhelming and upon finishing a game I felt little to no satisfaction or enjoyment from having played for 3-4 hours. That an there was so little direction or tutorial for differences or how many systems worked, I was and still am very disappointed in this game. The lack of choice and strategic options really kill it for me. Maps are quite small too. The player and AI can have massive death stacks of units (multiple units on the same square, an issue/design choice originating from Civilization 4 in 2005) means that movement and military options and viability are grossly limited. I really did not enjoy the design choices, as I feel many people who enter or are familiar with the series will reciprocate, and I do not recommend to purchase or to play.

Don’t waste your money. They never update the game, so you will periodically have times where you won’t be able to play. Then when they do update it, they make it worse, slow, laggy, they took the nuke animation out, the audio is terrible now, nothing is ever updated for any changes, no new characters in 2 years no new achievements, no new scenarios, nothing it’s basically civilization revolution #1 with Winston Churchill, JFK, Lenin, and aircraft carriers. ITS crap! for $15 you’d think they could produce a better game than this. Star Wars is free and they update that game with new characters, missions, and content every month. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME YOU WILL REGRET IT, I CERTAINLY DO!!!

Fun Game!. This iPad / iPhone version of Civilization 2 is true to the computer version of the game in most ways and, because of that, it is a fun game. One example Civ 2 fans from the computer version will notice that when you create a random world you always wind up with a Pangaea because the option of continents for your random world is not available. This means that naval warfare will always be a big part of any randomly generated game and huge land battles will not. I have noticed also that the online experience is lacking the app keeps telling me to connect to a network and refresh in order to connect to online content but, trust me, I'm definitely connected to my network but it still not working.

Impressed. I’m a long-time Civ player, and while I can’t say I’ve ever been thrilled with the Revolution version of the game, the iOS version seems to be mostly debugged. I haven’t had any crashes, although it can be a little choppy. This game murders my 6s+ battery, but that’s to be expected. The controls are my chief complaint - I had to click a few extra times to get some units to select and move. I don’t think this minor inconvenience detracted from the games overall experience, so no starts off. Bottom line - while $10 is pricey, I could easily see myself investing a few hours into this over the year. Doing the math, it’s worth it.

An absolutely horrible game. I played several editions of Civilization on my computer over the years and enjoyed all of them. This version is just awful. The AI is the worst. I’ve finished all the leaders on the deity level utilizing the same strategy for every civilization. The lack of variation and same dumb AI made the game thoroughly un-enjoyable. For example the AI never attacks or gets attacked by barbarians, only attacks the player, gets veteran armies with generals without ever battling with them, gets a massive building bonus, etc. There’s a tab when you’re using the diplomacy to discuss other world leaders but when you tap it the only response they give is that they don’t know who they are. Even when there borders are next to each other and have troops traveling through them to attack me. It makes the game feel incomplete. I had better gameplay on the earlier computer editions from 20 years ago. There’s also a glitch that prevents me from finishing all the achievements. All in all this is a really crappy incomplete game and a waste of time and money.

Disappointing but still fun. I was a big fan of the first version on my iPhone. This one is an improvement in some small ways, but it seems to take some major steps backwards. The controls are awkward and I end up sending troops to the wrong spots frequently. The graphics are nice but it feels like the world is smaller. I think the AI is a bit more difficult to beat than in the first version but it's so predictable that every game looks almost exactly like the last (constant wars against me but no else seems to get attacked, not even barbarians!). I still haven't managed to unlock any of the new leaders. I think that was a major reason I bought the new version and I shouldn't have bothered. The app is never updated so now I get a warning whenever I start it from my iPad Pro that says the app will slow down my iPad and that the developer needs to update it. Ultimately, it ticks me off that I paid so much money for a new version of a game I already had that is so much less fun to play. It's still a good game though and I still play so it gets three stars.

Game is Trash. I enjoyed the first civilization revolution game a bit, and love the series as a whole. This game is reminiscent of civilization 3 and is a disgrace to the name. The lack of options to turn of auto functions makes the game unplayable to anyone who is a true civilization gamer and wants to actually have strategy. Most of the game information is hidden and the interface is extremely clunky. At least let me turn off these features if you are going to have them, I want to click end turn every time so I can micromanage my cities and units, don't auto set production in cities when the finish what I had assigned them. It disappoints me that the series could go back to such a horrible game after the civilization 3 showed that automation is not what is good for a strategy game. Disgrace to the strategy genre in general because you can't have true strategy due to game mechanics.

I don't work for 2k review. Let's just name the cons as this game is full of them The thing that upsets me the most is the AI treats you like you're the only one on the island and everyone is against you. Even if you're allied with someone it will only be for a short time before they start to threaten you and you can't threaten anyone back...plus if you ask a ally about world events they always say I don't know anyone else...like why have that button if they always say that...you got other enemies walking through there cities and they still don't know who they are. Cities don't show building Battles are lame had a pikeman kill my fighter jet also a archer killed my submarine... Can't stop movement actions so if you tell a unit to move far and a enemy unit is in the dark you're screwed. If you are defeated it doesn't say who won instead you get 4 different brackets divided by economic military ect and you have to just guess...had one game where I won in 3 of the four categories but still lost because time ran out Small button interface will frustrate you Games are short and you can't add time to the length... In sure I'm forgetting some other bs but this is already long enough. Very disappointed.

Poor game controls. I find this game so frustrating in the game play and combat resolution 1. If you select a multiple turn move, you can't stop the unit and redirect. This is an issue if an enemy unit pops up into view after you give move,went commands. At least let me redirect between turns, but if you click on the unit to redirect, it moves along its preprogrammed path. 2. I was laying siege to the Chinese so had a battle ship off their capital city. They asked for peace which I gave and then found my battleship stuck, because under peace it can't pass through their waters, poor programming and travel rules 3 (this is a biggie) In Combat, some units are completely too powerful and others are not enough. For example, I researched advanced flight and brought bombers in (which are B17 graphics from US high altitude bombing in WWII) and they were shot down by archers!! Archers. Let's be clear Mr Meier, but when archers from the 1600s are shooting down bombers at 15,0000 feet altitude, you need to put down the crack pipe. I also had pikemen destroy my tanks and riflemen sink my battleship. Really? Stupid, stupid, stupid combat rules. 4. If you research the Manhattan project you get a nuclear missile. One and only one. It also doesn't work so well, leaving all sorts of enemy units alive. All said, this game is NOT worth $10. Let it be.

Awesome game, needs a lot of work.. I've been playing on deity for a while and have never lost a game. Ever. At first I thought I was getting better but then I realized that this version was the problem. The ai does not seem to actively try to win. They seem to exist within their own cities in the game and nowhere else. Also, they never meet any of the other leaders, I've had two enemy cities bordering each other before and when I go to the diplomacy screen, they claim nothing but ignorance towards each other. The only thing I want is to be able to send Caesar to war with lady cleopatra but they just won't talk to each other. Also the ai will never attack barbarians, they just send a trooper to stand next to it for the entire game. Please try and update this and I will fully love you guys once again. But right now I feel taken advantage of and want my $$ back...

Enjoying!. First time playing Civ on my iPad, but long time lover of the game in general. Although not as intricate as PC series, it’s still a great shortened version that shouldn’t be dismissed. There are a few minor annoyances, and to be fair I may have just not discovered them yet. 1.) Can’t have units “wait a turn” which leads to fortifying with the possibility of a turn skip if it autos. 2.) The auto turns — I don’t mind this so much in the beginning, but as things are heating up it’s very easy to have several strategy maneuvers delayed. 3.) Can’t put cities into non-production mode and solely producing science/gold. This is very tedious towards the end stage where you don’t necessarily need to continue building, yet majority of the turn is spent bouncing from a plethora of cities just clicking something before doing the actual strategy for the round. Overall I love being able to play Civ on my iPad and just a short and sweet game that focuses on my favorite parts.

Great game terrible implementation. I never write reviews. This game can be very fun but after seeing my units get defeated while having a 2x advantage and hardly being able to win a fight with even 1 point less I’m sick of it. The combat is stupidly unbalance so right when you get a good army or fleet the enemy can crush it with a much weaker unit. The game also auto plays so your units automatically go to the next place you put during your last turn. Automatically, despite changes in the battlefield or move to of enemy troops you can’t stop the auto movements and it slides away to the next unit even if you try to work another area of the map. I love civilization games but this port has pushed me to my last nerve. The previously mobile version was a much better game and I played it back in 2011. It is possible to win games on the highest difficulty but the computer has such vastly better luck it is painfully tedious building up powerful units just to see them crushed by enemies literally half as strong. It would be 5 stars if this didn’t fundamentally break the game so ridiculously.

Ehhh needs work before i feel they should charge for it. This game dosent feel complete. I love Civ games and I find the AI to be horrendous for a civ game:/ i can only play with 3 other civs and i have no option to choose which civs i play with. even the civs that i play with don’t give much diplomacy leeway. None of them ever meet so i can’t even use the option to make one AI fight another AI... why put something in a game if i can’t even use it????? it needs a “turn off fight animation” button, like i understand it took a lot of work to put the fight animations in the game but that being said the novelty of watching a firefight between 3 people wears off after about the 3rd take and sometimes i don’t have the time to watch those over and over again i just want to get through a game. and finally, the wait one turn button would be great. Overall however, this game has potential to be 5 stars but with some updates.

Best game on my phone right now.. I don't normally play mobile games, but recently my PS4 crapped out, so I've been playing games on my phone until I can buy a new console. I find that most mobile games are infested with microtransactions and paywalls, and just aren't very fun. This game is different. It's pretty much a port from the console version, so it plays just like it would on console. I have had very little issues; only a few instances of stutter or very light lag. I'm having a lot of fun playing the game, and I've already got a domination victory, playing as Elizabeth I. The game has very satisfying progression, and the research tree and unit/building selections are very robust for this being a simplified version of civilization. Btw, the only reason I play this instead of Civ 6, is because I currently have an iPhone 5s, and it won't update past iOS 10.5 or whatever, so I can't download the game. It would be really cool, if the devs are reading this, if they could somehow optimize Civ 6 for older versions of iOS. If so, I'd totally buy it, and I'm sure a lot of other people would, too.

Good to have back in App Store but pls make some small fixes to improve gameplay.... Great to have this app back as have been sorely missing since iOS 11. Love this app but needs some small tweaks to remove annoyance factor with gameplay and make 5 star experience: - PLEASE, PLEASE allow for the battle animations to be speeded up or interrupted. They are very nice but when you have seen them 10,000 times they are incredibly annoying and really slow down the gameplay. - when cycling between units if I hit the unit button to cycle to the next unit, put that unit to the end so it doesn’t keep on coming up the next time. Even better provide a skip button for a unit I don’t want to move that turn (but also don’t want to fortify and then forget) - fix the glitch where opponent units get trapped next to barbarian camps and never move. Let opponents attack barbarians to even up game. That’s it. Super simple fixes and a 5 Star experience ! FYI There are still some bugs running on iPhone X (explosions don’t show properly and menus partially covered by notch. )

Why You Should Get This Game. Civilization Revolution 2 is (obviously) the second in it's franchise. This game has something for everyone! It has great animation and graphics, innovative gameplay and strategy that is easy to pick up, but hard to master. Whether you want to rule the world with an iron fist or take over with science, this game is for you. Not only does it have an assortment of characters to choose from if people do not want to work for their characters, but it has achievable characters with no in app purchasing. Even though this game is quite expensive for an app, I believe it is worth it.

Cultural Identities. I played Civ Rev 1 and found it to be a great iOS game, pretty much better than anything else out there and now in playing Civ Rev 2 I find that this barely reached my standards. One thing about CR1 was that the differences between civilisations were much more shown, with each one having a signature unit and building. Now all I get are units that mostly don't actually show up on my build menu, merely showing the basic and root unit, such as a horseman instead of a cataphract, or a knight instead of a samurai. Also, I believe that the cultural buildings and wonders specific for each civ where a great addition to the previous game, like the gets for Mongols or salons for the French. Now the 50 production wonders also once specific to each civ have been made available to all and this reduces the smooth play, at least to me. If say, an expansion was released that added proper civ buildings or wonders and the units were fixed this would pretty much allay all of my concerns. I'm looking forward to new additions like more PC or console features, and the next instalment in the iOS series .

Not a bad game. Remains pretty faithful to the feel of original version. The maps could be a little larger though. I’d have given it a better rating, however it no longer works on iOS 11

Unplayable. Have enjoyed a lot from the Civ franchise. But this is unplayable. If you enjoy unnecessary 3D graphics (at the expense of actually being able to easily navigate, move, build, attack, etc.) then this is the game for you. If not - don't bother. Total let down.

Great time killer. Absolutely recommend for long haul flights. Australia to Europe without putting the game down. Airline must have USB charging for this tho

Disappointed. I loved the first civ, however this one is just a touch up to the old one. Nothing new really, feels like playing the first civ with a better graphic.

Estentially the same as the 1st. Better graphics, a few extras, but essentially the same as civ 1. No crashing is worth the upgrade alone.

Love this game!. Massive fan of this and the first game. Unfortunately I can’t play this game anymore because it hasn’t been updated!!!! Please please please update!!!!!!!

Love this games, but please update for iOS 11. Love this games, but please update for iOS 11 Love the short length of the game to wins Love to simplicity of the game,

Most addictive. This game still has its original civilisation games appeal ! Love it

Potential - Fail. This would be a brilliant game, if not for some very simple failures. Upgrades & bug fixes are non existent. It seems once you've bought the app, they take their money and all is forgotten. Secondly, my favourite is the ridiculous unfairness when you are winning. The Greeks can go from 7 "Great People" to 13 "Great People" in 1 turn, and 7 turns later they win the game in 1790! A complete joke and waste of time. Please fix these simple issues. Happy to re-write this review if you get you act together! - 6 months later, still no changes.

Best 2-3 hours I spend.. Second that

Good version of Civ.. I'm playing this on iPhone 6S with no trouble at all. This is classic Civ2 with better graphics but on smaller maps. Great app has a good retro feel about it and plays well.

80% Great. High standard of game maintained, with a sleek design and good use ability. Design: 4 stars, Pop-ups get in the way too much for quick play and there is some lack of gameplay information for the user. Otherwise very good Gameplay: 1 Star, very little in the way of learning how to play and informative database. Needs big improvement and more extensive tutorial. Graphics: 5 stars, great if not over the top animation and general terrain graphics. Would sacrifice this for more intuitive gameplay Difficulty: 3 stars, very easy for moderate players of civ. Overall great game but needs are much great knowledge base or manual

Update needed. This game is great but can you update it so it can work on iOS. 11, I feel like I wasted $15 on an app that won’t work. Come on 2k and get your act together so this game is actually playable.

IPhone6s. Was desperate to fi d a good strategy game with great graphic and will finally match quality on computers or console, I have now find it. Great game!

Great game. Really fun! Only thing I would like is maybe the option to create a custom game.

iPhone 6 plus, iOS 8.3. I have loved this series since it first came to the PS3. I was a little bit disappointed with civ rev 1 on iOS but you fully stepped up your game with this sequel! I just wish it had some of the perks the PS3 version had :( but at least I can see my beautiful space ship in all its glory now :D

Favourite game. This game is really really fun and well made I love being able to create you personal kingdom and rule as you want love the game

Excellent. A great game that's just gotten better with graphics and well worth the money.. great to see you can still buy games and have no in app purchases ❤️❤️❤️

Civ on the go. Great game, good portable version of one of my favourite games. Sometimes the titles of things can get it the way which makes directing units a space up somewhat difficult but that is my only complaint :)

Update for the latest iOS. When is the new update coming for the latest iOS version?

Not great. Ok, there are some things I like about it: there are very few even remotely interesting strategy games in the App Store and at least this one is playable and doesn't crush you with in app purchases. However, I've got to say I find the thing confusing. Like, I genuinely don't know whether I'm going to win individual conflicts ever and it's not really clear why I would win or lose them, as even number or quality of troops doesn't seem to always play the major part, it seems to be luck. Overall I expected a kind of command and conquer with sequential moves strategy game and what I actually got was a bit more like d & d... but without the dice roll to see how you went.

Needs an update.. My iPad tells me that CR2 will not work with IOS 11. Is there an update coming? Yes now a fact. iOS 11 kills it.

Great game - fix mod infantry obsolescence. Great version for mobile. A day-killer if you're not strong-minded to stop one-more-turn syndrome. Only significant criticism is that Modern Infantry disappears when you develop Special Forces, the latter having half the defensive capability - so you actually lose defensive power and have to resort to tanks. And how do you unlock leaders and scenarios?? I've played for ages and having got anything unlocked.

Love it!. No need to worry about spending a real fortune on crystals or coins, this sim game lets you build, conquer and dominate. Love it! Only down side is wishing the maps were bigger :)

Needs work. Would be better with alien tec and to make the the teams more different from each other

Disappointing. Disappointing and expensive for what it is. 1st game, played on easiest - won by domination 2nd game, played on second easiest - won by domination 3rd game, played on hardest - won by domination Third game wasn’t an easy win, but it wasn’t hard either. It would have been nice to have been challenged. On top of that, the interface is a bit annoying. When I go to the next unit, I expect not to come back to the current unit until I’ve gone through all the rest. Instead I keep coming back to the same units, making it difficult to know when I’ve been through all the units that have moves to use. It would all be handy to tell a unit to do nothing for just this turn. Instead you either need to fortify it and remember to wake it up next turn, or you have to keep skipping over it using the next unit button. Another annoyance, when you get the Special Forces unit, you can’t build infantry anymore, but infantry have a much higher defence.

Not bad. I would say it is very close to the old Civ 2 on PC as far as complexity goes. Could’ve been much better with a bit more thought into civilizations options, better city management and few less bugs. As a long term fan of the franchise I still got a lot of enjouement with this game but it gets a bit repetitive very quickly.

Civ fun without taking a whole weekend. Enjoy this game a lot. Have played for years and still love it. Minor issue in civ 2 is that the AI doesn’t attack barbarians so they get stuck next to them and this makes it less challenging because they don’t expand as much.

Perfect for the iPhone. I found no difficulties manoeuvring armies and equipment. GUI is intuitive and well designed with the limitations of a phone in mind. Gameplay is similar to Civ III with surprisingly good graphics... Perhaps you could design Axis & Allies for the iPhone too?

Unplayable Crasher. Crashes on every attempt to play. Completely useless. Spent two weeks talking to developer support only to end up being told they don't know and to ask apple. Shame because i liked the last game but won't be buying another iOS version. Learn from my mistakes and save your dollars. The game does not work on ipad and they cant help you!

Civ 2 good game but barely worth the money if you have civ 1. Civ 2 has nice graphics. But it has hardly any gameplay improvements over civ 1 like you would expect between versions 1 to 6 of the main civilisation game.

Excellent game with potential.. Excellent sequel to an excellent adaptation always an excellent game. Hoping for better things in the future, maybe some more countries and the possibility of a religious victory. It would also be nice to rename cities once you have them.

The new interface is terrible. I was a huge fan of this game but this new interface is terrible. The labels over the cities block your view and the game flicks your view across the map in no logical sequence. The later is very annoying when you are trying to invade a city. This game needs a major tweak.

In game achievements have stopped working.. This means that you can not unlock any of the extra leaders. I just tested with the credits achievement and at the end of the credits it just restarted then and nothing in the achievements section. I've been trying to unlock Churchill and have built the world bank while having the east India company and flight not discovered and he's still locked.

Best Turn Base Game. Love this game I have been playing Civilization since it first appeared on PC many years ago and now I can play on mobile or tablet, this version plays well on iPhone 5, good stuff.

Great game. I enjoy playing both games Civ 1 and Civ 2. Great game can’t wait for the update:)

Great game, little more depth would be great. Overall great game. Bigger maps & some more depth to game & this would be one of the top games to purchase as who doesn’t love civ games. Thanks for making it available on iPad, am seriously thinking about buying the full version of new civ game on iPad. 👍👍👍

Very, Very, Very Worth It.. For the $15 dollars I spent, it was worth it. I am still a newbie and haven't tested everything out yet, but I know my way around. The game has great tactics, gameplay and online interaction, but I have some constructive feedback. 1. We should be allowed to denounce other leaders 2. Open borders with other civs (allowing units to move through without declaring war). 3. Trade 4. JFK (No offensive, but he looks like he had so much plastic surgery, that it all collapsed on his face). 5. Planes should be allowed to stay on a tile like tanks and units. 6. With the borders, you can build a wall along the border (just an idea :) ) I hope you can take my advice and maybe turn it into what you want. Otherwise the game is excellent.

Disappointed. I wouldn't have paid for the game had I played it first. Lacking what I enjoyed in the PC versions. It is also annoying for limiting the playable female leaders, along with sexualising what ones they do have.

Great fun, just wish it would get an update from time to time. Great fun, but would it hurt to update it? Few bug fixes maybe a few new leaders, or new units just to keep it fresh.

Great Fun. I've play all the Civ games (except for Civ 6) and this is a fun simplified version of Civilisation. Plays better on a big screen (iPad Pro 9.7) vs smaller one (iPhone 6s Plus).

Too easy. This game is too easy e.g build 3 city's with high science then tech rush to gunpowder the build riflemen and you win by domination

A bit pricey but a good game for iPhone. Good fun to play, no bugs or issues so far. Pretty much the same as the console version. Very user friendly on my 6s. P.s- when you are finished here, another settlement needs our help

Best mobile strategy of its kind. Very good quality for a mobile version.

Big disappointment - not worth the money. After Civ Rev 1 I was expecting some improvements, but this is a huge step backwards and definitely was not worth the money. The interface is appalling - half the time the buttons and unit info is in the way, and the other half of the time it disappears before I select an action. There's no way to know what building you've just built when you get the city info screen after building completion. Once you've built everything, you can't divert production in a city to cash or culture like on the PC version. If your production is high, and you choose to build units (your only option if you've built all of the buildings and wonders), you can end up with over 100 new units produced per turn in a single city, making the game completely unplayable. By the way, why on earth make modern infantry become obsolete? The graphics are full of bugs and weird sloppy modelling, especially when it comes to battles and leaders. Really limited choice of Civs - where are the Babylonians? Vikings? And just like Civ Rev 1, victories are completely underwhelming. The whole production screams of a serious lack of testing and zero interest in resolving issues other reviewers have already identified a long time ago now. Lift your game 2K.

A good game. I prefer to pay up front than to have in game purchases but the interface could do with some improvements, overall this is one of the best strategy games on iPhone

Pretty decent attempt.. Runs quite well. Have played civ since the very original. Always a good way to waste a few hours. Simplified but still fun for a mobile game. Doesn't seem to chew through too much battery either.

Good fun game. Good game but it is too short. I would like to see it go till you actually complete one of the ways to win.

Addictive game. A lot of fun.. I like the civilization games. This one is the simplest and still challenging. It would be nice to incorporate more options and visualizations that the full civilization games have.

Still the best. A little drawn out like most CIV games but still the best of the bunch by far on IPad.

Great game. No bugs. Plays well on my iPad Air. Nice portable version.

Trash. If you like Civ 6, do not buy this.

I love Civilisation II. Dommage qu'il ne font pas de civilisation 3 et Civilisation VI est horrible vraiment pas aussi plaisant.

Version. This game is not as good as its predecessor. There were my favorite of all time but the functions and the way the game works is not great. Wish I could load an earlier version

Good game. Just wish the game didn’t have a limited amount of turns.

Fun fun fun. I wish there were better instructions (how to create armies, the fact you can attack with naval support, etc etc) but I really enjoyed this game.

Garbage. The coding the game and the programmers for it are all garbage. Their entire families are garbage

LOVE IT!! Still the best!. I loved the 1st one and this one is even better. Not so complex it takes years to master. A great game to kill an evening casually with and always new strategies to try. Absolutely my favourite! Runs butter smooth. Just wish it would still receive updates to properly support 12” iPad resolution but otherwise no complaints!

So far wish i passed on it. The first game revolution 1 was very good. Much easier to use the characters and was a blast to play. I had hoped this game was similar, but alas it is not. I might just be a bit harsh and will update review after trying it again. Why change with the entire game mechanics that worked well in the first? I held off on buying as I had the first and there was no turn limits on it. I missed playing so i took a chance, so far not thrilled but you never know it may grow on me

Great game! Worth it!. For improvement it could use More customizable game options like map size, type, number and choice of opponents, difficulty, just typical civ game options. Performance based options like those above will improve the game experience for those who buy newer devices.

Great game. Endless hours of fun and strategy

Civ Rev Origional?. Is it possible to get the original civilization revolution. That was way better than the second version.

D. Divertissant

Stripped down. This is a very stripped down and simplified version of CIV2, with small maps, a boring AI, and only a fraction of what was in the original. This is not worth the price. It is especially sad given how old CIV2 is, they couldn’t even match the features of an old NES game. The other problem here is the UI is not intuitive. You have to kind of guess how to play your way through and a lot of basic features you used to have in CIV2 like fortifying is changed drastically. I mean it’s OK, but for the price.. You’ll play it once, unlock everything, beat it on all modes in about 40mins.

Favourite game. Have been trying to find civ that I can play on my iPad. I miss so of the land development details, but the new wonders are fun.

I love this game.. I started play Civ Res on the Nintendo DS and love it so much, I've played every incarnation on every console and device I've owned since. Civ Res 2 is probably my favourite version. It plays particularly well on the IPad. I wish there was a third version and hold our hope we see one eventually. In the meantime, this will do. It's a great game with lots of unique gameplay.

D. Great game

Keeps crashing on iPad mini. Keeps crashing after a few minutes of playing. Is there a fix for it?

BUGGG!!!. Good game but impossible to play there is too much bug and app crash all the time i want to make new troops

Great. Love it

Awesome!. Fun way to kill time!

True Compact Civ. This game is true to the earlier iterations of Sid’s Civ games and is fun, and at the higher diffs quite challenging. My only two critiques is that at the higher difficulties the AI players aren’t nearly militarily aggressive enough and that we cannot turn off the unit animations; the planes especially take forever to run through their animations.

Crashes all the time. I always loved this PC game and this one used to work but now it crashes all the time.

Please make more games like this !. 2k! We miss you so much ! This port game was and still is a classic. Great job, but please make more. I will pay $20 anytime for this kind of work.

Constantly Crashes. Fun game but it's totally unplayable as it crashes nearly every turn. This release is not even beta test quality, no one should ever be charged for something this low quality. Running it on an iPad Mini current OS. Buyers should be offered a refund if the app isn't patched.

Good game but no longer supported. I wish it was, it’s fun and not as long as a true Civ game

Game duration. Great game, honestly I love it, but I don’t like how it decides for me when to end the game. If I want to completely dominate someone, slowly, I should be able to with out being interrupted. Otherwise love this game

CivRev2. I wish this game has a multiplayer option skirmish to compete with friends

Terrible.. It does afford the ability to “kill some time”. Not much more will make sense of this. Enemy cities seem to have endless troops with archers overpowering tanks and other nonsensical results. Your cities are easily overrun regularly or simply “flipped” despite attempts to satisfy the wacky algorithm. An annoying occupation at best.

Replay value isn’t amazing. It takes a few minutes to get into the controls where you don’t accidentally send guys around the map. The game follows the civ platform well! I love the tech changes. It has very limited units to deploy though... more boats then land units some how . The campaigns are nice but there isn’t much of a point to them. The game is fun for a game or two... and then you’ve seen everything and it gets boring. The replay value isn’t that great.

Okay but not worth the price. I understand they wanted to make a smaller scale Civilization game option, but so many functionalities are gone so you’re at the mercy of the programming, which makes no sense. I’ve had archers take out tanks (2 to 20 strength comparison) and other lost battles that did not make any sense. Certain nations end up having a hate-on for you and you can’t do anything to fix it or improve the relationships. If within a game the computer decides an enemy is going to capture your city you end up getting bombarded continually with no end or logic to it. I’m fine with having enemies attack, but there needs to be some functions added in so you can at least try to save your player/city. The limited functionality is such I can’t do anything to win or have an enjoyable play. Please fix the illogical programming!! I’ve been a Civilization fan since the mid 90s and have always enjoyed the strategy, but this one has given no options for that side of the game. Frustrating !

Only 15% of the real Civilization. All the features of the real Civilization that makes it an awesome game are absent or automatically controlled. There is no customization of the game or of the the way to play possible. The games are too short. There are no moment in the game where true strategy will take over and make a difference. This game is surely a fit for those who never played the real Civ. But those like me who are fan of deep strategy and tailormade experience, will not like this game.

Game that I purchased won’t even work. I bought this game. Since the iOS update it won’t even play. It just goes to the title screen an does nothing. Absolutely pathetic from a big studio. Do not buy. Absolute trash

Civ Rev 2. The game is good overall. Too much influence from culture, religion, and money, Vs the balance of strategy, society size and political structure to mention a few. Very nice game, but i would shift a few drivers to a more balance structure. Now i know how to make it, but i little more variable could be added9 more weight on technology, research, political, or cities influences, to name a few.

Love this game!. I absolutely love this game, I just never get tired of it. The only complaint I have is that the games aren’t long enough. It seems as soon as I get going, the game ends. But it still deserves 5 stars 😁

Good game. Pretty much the same as the first game, with some new technologies, buildings, and units, I loved the first game though so I don’t mind that they didn’t change much, only thing I didn’t like about this game is that, when your controlling s boat, you can’t just click on land and unload all troops, you have to unload them one at a time ☹️

Amazing. Just as much fun as the original. I have now played this across four different platforms and I have never regretted the purchase!

Good. Good enough for me

Disappointed. The game is good but so similar to the original that I feel like I wasted my money. Feels more like an update than a new game.

Fun game but...... Not fair when it comes to strength. 50 plus lvl tank vs a legend, and the tank loses? Lol ok, Sid, time to fix this

Would be a lot better if it didn’t.... This would be a lot better if games could go on for as long as it took to win. The max amount of turns is foolish.

Computer Player is Laughably Stupid. This game suffers from multiple issues including terrible computer players, bad interface and poorly tuned buildings and technologies. The computer players don’t know about each other let alone don’t attack each other. This renders the diplomacy mechanic useless. They also don’t attack the barbarians and so are often contained by them. The previous edition made working with stacks of units easy and intuitive. This version make it a pain, difficult to know what is selected. The old game had a different icon for an army this one does not. Similarly, the old game let you disembark an entire ship full of units with a single command. In this edition, you must do it one by one, often being taken to another map area in between. Finally, new buildings, wonders and technologies are interesting but extremely unbalanced compared to those brought forward from previous editions. What is frustrating is that correcting these issues would likely be straightforward and could make this bad game great. But, because it is so old it has been abandoned by the developer and yet they continue to charge a premium for it.

No Multiplayer?. Good game but it’d be great if you could have more than one player.

CivRev Fan. A few annoying touch screen and HUD circumstances. The game in itself will always be great but there is lacking in the phone version.

CivRev2. Love it played it for years

Civ. Awesome game , just needs a new update challenges, or goals

Clunky. Basically the same game as the original with a redesigned interface and a few additional units, leaders, wonders etc. I find the interface annoying and clunky. There is too much animation. It is difficult to get a big picture of the map. Sadly, the original is no longer available.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Can i plz pay to unlock the leaders?. I’ve played this game for forever and I see the option to play w other leaders but it won’t let me cuz they’re locked and no matter how much I try, I cannot unlock them. I would pay $5 just to have them all available to play. And the tech research in this game is as slow as molasses. By year 2000 I finally get to research space exploration. 1961 in real life, that’s what year we sent a man into space, not 2000. Fix these things and I will not only give 5 ⭐️, I will share this game on my Facebook and instagram, and highly recommend to others.

Thank you for updating to 64 bit. I just wanted to say thank you for updating this app to 64 bit, so it would play on the current version of iOS. I now have use for my iPad again, which had functionally become a Civ Rev 2/ Kindle machine. I only wish you would consider rebalancing the Modern Warfare/"Special Forces" units to have the same or better defense as "Modern Infantry," which they replace. As it stands, I finish most games without taking that last tech, and losing a superior defensive unit. Again, thank you for the update of this older game. Please consider making a Civ Rev 3!

Bad controls and poor design: not worth $10. It very much seems as if the people who developed this game do not play it. Although the appearance is far superior and the game play much smoother, the ability to actually play the game is faulted. For instance, there appears to be no ability to select a character once an action has been assigned to it. For instance, if a character is assigned to defend a tile, there is no apparent way to select that character again to change the action on that turn. Also, characters will not halt if there is something in its path; the characters will instead divert to an alternate path that effectively puts the player at risk and wastes a turn. I discovered these very simple things within ten minutes of purchase. Civilization Revolution 2 would be far better if the folks at 2K actually played the game.

Good game but lacking some. Overall this is a pretty good game, and I have run into very few bugs (sometimes the great generals would follow the wrong unit?). My main complaint is that the tutorial is VERY basic and does not address many game concepts, and the civpedia does not address game concepts at all—like what do roads do? How does naval support work? What is an “elite” unit? There are some fan-based wikis that do a pretty good job of explaining stuff like this, but it’s the developers’ job to document stuff like this and I’m very disappointed that they don’t do better.

Very well made. I recently played the first civ rev game on Xbox 360 and was hoping for a mobile version to play and that’s just what I got with this! I played my first game all the way through to a cultural victory without any issues at all. I didn’t run into any game crash’s and the continue button worked every time I used it. I did save every time I was done playing though so maybe that helped. All in all I can’t say I have any complaints yet.

Great game, wish it had more features :/. Really like this game! Used to play on Xbox and really enjoyed it. I really wish it had an end of game recap like other civ games so that you could see area/money/culture and other growth over time. Also wish there was a slightly bigger map with maybe one or more civs on it (there’s 4 not including you).. Doubt this review will change that since this game has been out forever lol, but other than that it is a great game. I can finish one game in a day just playing around unlike the length it takes for other civ games... I recommend (especially since it’s free)

iPhone xsmax. I’ve played on an iPhone xsmax and I have to say I’ve not had any bugs and played through a whole game. The only bothersome part is that the camera and speaker block out some of the screen that is used to display some options for city productivity versus gold versus food options but if you already know what letters they end with it’s not really a problem. Only issue is you might not be able to see how much of what your city is generating, but I still was able to with with a domination victory.

Satisfactory for the phone. As an early 386sx times player I have enjoyed having access to the game again so easily. A few points: Politics doesn't work. Every time you ask for an alliance the answer is they have not met them. Objectives fail. If for ex you are in democracy, the target of switching to democracy fails unless you switch back and forth. It's also lacking a world view and cities cannot be named. Other than that, this is a classic game and always fun. Oh, and you have to make your own research online to learn how you unlock some rulers as civilopedia has nothing about it.

Better than expected. Granted... I am using an iPhone 7 with lots of storage, but I have zero issues, hiccups, etc with this game. My entire family are huge fans of Sid's Civilization series of games, and are pleased that this app plays just as easily as our console games. At this point, we have no recommendations for improvement, and no complaints. Also love that because its paid for and downloaded there are no in-app purchases. That alone is worth the money and provides hours of entertainment!

Nice Recovery. When I first bought this app, it wouldn't load. After dealing with the frustration, I simply ignored it and the icon went away. Then suddenly, after a couple of months, the icon showed up again. Curious, I tapped it and , lo and behold, everything was now working as promised! For those accustomed to the subsequent iterations of the PC game, this is Civ 2. While there is much to relearn, such as stacking of units & gaining/losing cities due to culture levels, it was fun! I recommend it, if for no other reason that it isn't another of the mindless games that just require manual dexterity to play.

Civ Rev 2 Broken Gameplay. Do not waste your money or time on Civ Rev 2. The AI in the current version (1.5.3) is badly broken. Early units get stuck on goodie and barbarian huts and do not move or attack. Because of this, enemy civs quickly fall far behind and offer no challenge, even on Deity difficulty. In over a dozen games I have never been attacked by an enemy civ. I am frankly surprised at all the positive reviews for Civ Rev 2. I can only assume that one of the 2015 updates messed up the game. I wish 2K would fix the gameplay, but after half a year with no updates, I suspect this version has been orphaned. The sad thing is that they are releasing a Vita version in Jan 2016! Civ Rev 2 is very attractive, but the gameplay is fatally flawed.

Its An Ok Game. Of course its not a PC game but its fun! Details are decent. I guess the reason of not giving it a 5 star for one I like the dominating part of the game. I think there should be more ICBM that can be made to attack the enemy with! I also don't like the fact that a musket men can shoot down a bomber. The last think I can think of at the moment is like what someone mentioned already and its the automatic shutdown towards the end of the game or actually where it kicks you off. Yes it did have a continue button but it kicked me off 3 times thats kinda annoying. If they would change those thing it would be a 5 star for me!

Good game. Good game but I didn't give it five stars because it doesn't have enough new features to warrant paying $10 when the Civ Rev 1 is much cheaper. Also what is annoying is on Civ Rev 1 if you are transporting units on ships you have to remove each unit individually to get them off the ship. On 1 you use the ship as if to run the ship on ground and it would put all units on land at once. This can be very time consuming other than that it's a good game but if you are iffy about spending ten dollars buy the first one for much cheaper and essentially the same game.

Incomplete and abandoned. I have been playing the Civ series for years, like many who may read this. I was excited to see an iOS version! I was a little let down by the release, but I think they did ok for a mobile adaptation. Definitely enjoyable to some extent. However, as mentioned a hundred times by others, AI is dreadful. Moving units is frustrating even to the point of mentally painful. AI claims to know no one else but me, despite units being near their territory. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I've never seen AI war with other nations. There are literally medals that say COMING SOON. I give it a bit of a break because it's a mobile game and all the AI could be resource hungry, but seriously fix the bugs. Oh and none of the online play works for me.

It's a bit basic however very entertaining and fun.. Sometimes it doesn't take total sophistication to come out with a homerun hit when it comes to fun and entertainment. Sometimes you see what I'm taking about in food recipes... meaning some of the best tasting dishes are really quite simple. Furthermore, if you want to spend great time taking detail and the Mastery to control every last action and word. Then, simply use a gaming computer or write your own fiction novel.

Very Good. This game is very good, one of my favorite Civ games out there. My favorite being the sixth, the recent game in the series as of this review. The game doesn’t lag my phone and when I save, the game saves and I can pick up where I’ve left off. It doesn’t have any major bugs. This game would easily be my favorite of the Civ games if you can check off the type(s) of victory/victories you want to accomplish to win the game. Other than that, you can win the game other than conquest and that’s what I appreciate

Solid reboot but needs a couple changes. Great facelift for the game, much needed. I like the addition of different techs, wonders, etc, and also the goals that can earn you decent rewards in game. My biggest gripe is the fact that the game seems to decide when it wants to autoplay. Sometimes it will have me end the turn, other times it decides to end it on its own. It gets frustrating because sometimes I need to make a change with city production. The other bug I notice is that the tile yield icons don't display properly more often than not. The yields numbers still work out properly but annoying to have to figure it out.

Outstanding. Much like my personal favorite from the console version, Civilization Revolution 2 is definitely a game that you can get lost in for hours on end. Plenty of political leaders to choose from, diversity and replay ability due to the random map generator. It is a sure thing each time you play it will be a different experience. Whenever you decide to take over the world from the comfort of your phone or tablet, I'm sure you will enjoy doing it.

Not bad, some bugs.. Not a bad game, but has some bugs. If you want to go for all the achievements, then dont waste your time. The is one achievement that is glitch and will not unlock, and a host of others that are next to impossible because the game will lose memory of what you have accomplished in the past. For example: I wanted to complete every victory with every nation, but the game forgets seemingly a random assortment of completions about once a week. Your save states should be fine. I am on an iphone 6. If you have too many doubts about this one with glitches, or if it will work on your device, play Polytopia.

pretty messed up game for the money. This game like the last version of Civ Revolution has some intense AI bugs in it. I experienced the same problems with the last version and was hoping this new version would fix it. Now I've paid 2x for 2 broken games (Civilization Revolution and Civilization Revolution 2). I suppose the developers are too busy making a broken Civilization Revolution 3. 1) AI doesn't attack barbarians ever... so just sit back and let barbarians contain the other civs. 2) AIs don't talk to each other so they never go to war and you can't work them against each other. 3) 1/2 the achievements are unobtainable even if you complete them. They either don't register or problem (2) prevents you from doing it.

Clunky Unit Controls. I enjoy this game, having just found out it exists, and loving the old XBox version. My two complaints are, there is no way to speed up combat (the longest part of the game), and the controls for selecting units are clunky, and situationally frustrating when units need new orders while mid order. Oh, and I really dislike the Special Forces unit. Hands down, solid downgrade from the previous era unit (Modern Infantry). If you like Civ Rev or are a huge Civilizations fan, then this is a good game to get for iOS!

Civilization: Beyond Mobile (Fail). I would like to start by saying I'm a big fan of Civilization games but not recently. This game has developed a new low for the mobile cash grab. Take something that is completely awesome and epic. Spend ten minutes dreaming how to put it on mobile. Spend twenty minutes making it look pretty and surprise this game. This game should be called Civilization: Beyond Mobile. They decided to take the statement of "Chip off the old block" literally. Every new twist they try to do with this game really eats away at what they did right. The husk of the Civilization game diminishes by the release, and this adds or should I say subtracts from it. I don't want to hear that the "technology" isn't there for the game to be good, because they had no problem with SNES. The problem is the people calling the shots now are just greedy. Supporting this game further is just giving them the free pass to do this again, and I will not do that. Good bye Civ. Used to have fun playing your games but you let the devs destroy you. Want a lesson on what not to do with your mobile conversion? This game is your textbook.

Worth the money. I just purchased the game with the hope of enjoying it as much as the PC version. Alas I did. I am a bit on the older side ( and not too tech savvy) so I was a tad worried about not being able to figure out how to navigate this version. All told I found it rather easy to find my way around. So to wrap it up, I liked it and am glad I spent the money to have the convenience of playing on my iPad. P.S. I only gave it 4 stars because it bogged down my iPad 2 a bit. Not a huge deal but a we bit annoying

iOS11. I purchased and played this game up until the recent iOS11 update. Now since my device is incompatible with iOS 11 I am unable to play the game I purchased and enjoyed. The developer doesn't want to release a rolled back version and Apple can give two craps about its customers being able to use products the customer purchased unless you've bought their newest released product. If you plan on enjoying this game for as long as you like don't buy it through Apple. If we get enough people I bet there is a class action suit against Apple since they have purposely misleading wordage between their Technical problems and End User Agreement. The first being refundable the latter is them giving you the shaft.

Good game, want more for the price. This is a good continuation of the series for iPhone and iPad. The controls are a little difficult on the phone, so expect some missed clicks. Very frustrating to accidentally move the tank that was supposed to take out the enemy city. I know apps are inexpensive, however this one is a little higher than average and I wanted more. When I play civ I want a game that takes a long time, that I can pause and return to when I have a minute for the next turn. This iteration is on the short side. I would have also liked to see larger and smaller maps for custom scenarios. Overall the game is satisfying with only a few bugs that while significant aren't overly annoying.

Could be so much better. It appears as though Sid Meier forgot this was for an iPhone. I am using the 6s+ so it is the biggest one and yet I keep tapping the wrong thing because menu items are too close together. The AI is so simple it is boring. Worlds are way too small. However, the most excruciatingly painful aspect of this game is that I am forced to sit through EVERY movement and battle animation. Turns that should take just a few seconds take painful minutes of just watching units travel square by square. Please finish this app, it is beautiful, but I also can never get to advanced tech before victory conditions -- even on highest difficulty.

Good but not great. I am a huge fan of the series. This version stays pretty true to the original but needs a few fixes. 1. It is difficult to see how many troops you have in a city. You have to select a troop that is showing and arrow through them. Not very efficient. 2. Customizing your work force is a challenge. Although it is set up to look like the original it does not function the same. The effect of changes is not obvious. 3. The AI is not challenging. On the Console version playing on Emperor or Deity was a considerable challenge in war and diplomacy. Not so with this version. Your enemy may attack a few times but will back off if they do not win. Diplomacy is almost non-existent.

Not Worth the Money☹️. This game is a far cry from the versions available on the computer, and even comes in behind the original versions back in the 90's. It's definitely an improvement over the last mobile version, and sometimes it's fun, but that doesn't mean a thing because the versatility and insight into actual events, influences, and overall affectations were much more detailed and thought out in the computer versions. I played it all the way through out of nostalgia and to see how it turned out. Please trust me, do not waste your money. This was built purely to have a presence in the mobile market, and there's no reason it should cost a dime over $1.00. Sid Meier should have refused to put his name on this. 😔

Worth it, if you're a fan. It's a good game. I just think there's room for improvement. Here is my impression. To start, it crashes frequently, especially while on Diety around the modern era. It's frustrating, because it takes well over 5 minutes to log back in. It would flow better if the city menu opens after a settlement or sack. I'm using an iPad2 64gb. If someone is using a better device, please share your experience. I will update my review if there a fix. Update: the game is functioning better and does not crash as often. Probably crashed twice in a couple of months. Diety mode is a bit too easy, and they should try making 2 big land masses to allow for 2 great civilizations. Just an idea.

Those of us who have lives. I love this game!! The scenarios are really fun and make it an extra challenge. My favorite has been playing the revolutionary war as you can make your own story with it and conquer the America’s! I love to log on and play for a while and then log off for a break or if I am busy. It is great to save the game and be able to come back to it as your playing computers instead of real people. Make it much more fun for those of us with lives!!

Very good handheld version of game. This game is very similar to the computer versions of the game although it has been streamlined and simplified to make it work on handheld devices. Some people who are used to all the bells and whistles of the full versions of the game might get frustrated, but it has the same basic strategy and it is far more complex and enjoyable than any other strategy game available for the iPad. I do wish it had 2-player pass-and-play option. It would also be helpful if in city view I could see what units were in the city.

True Civ Gem. The developers did a great job adapting Civ to mobile device play. I play this on my phone and it doesn’t lose any playability on the smaller screen. It’s not buggy or laggy at all, although my phone is new and I don’t know how it would play on an older device. This game is very addictive and I think it will offer hours of re-play fun. It is annoying when you forget to save and have to go back but that’s my fault, not the game’s. Definitely worth 5 bucks and I love that you don’t have to buy in-app purchases.

Love this game!. I used to play Civ on Pc back in the day. Life and other things had taken me away from it for a time. After reading some of the reviews I wasn't sure, but downloaded it anyway. Took a minute to get used to some of the controls and game, but it's still addictive as all get out. I play the game on an IPAD pro and haven't had any crashing problems. I would recommend this game to those who are just discovering CIV and those that have played it before.

Epic but needs more. This game is a epic game and I am addictive to the game but needs more work like this. 1.Seeing some of the buildings for the example the laser defense and the SDI defense or factory's 2.multie player will be a great part for example I can be the Americans and my friend can be the Indians or I can put on random and play with 4 random people! 3.the other civalsations do not meet each other or barber ions do not attack other city's! That will be all from me so thx for reading this and have an nice day. P.S. Plz use these ideas in the next update

Dumbed down. Sid's games have always had a bit of maturity for adult players, but lately they've been going downhill. The graphics are big and in your face, not to mention tedious. They've also dropped some of the complexity, like settlers doing work besides just building cities. Also, with the addition of 2K China, you can really feel the clunkiness and lack of American quality. One example is the Eiffel Tower wonder. When that's built, you get +2 "populations" (sic). So really, couldn't 2K America at least get a proof-reader for the very limited amount of text in this game? Bottom line, the game seems to have been built on the cheap, while still charging a premium price for mobile app. So common' guys, I know you can do better!

Somehow much worse than the original. Honestly feel cheated by the developers for this game. The interface is much worse and buggy than the first. Somehow the AI is less sophisticated than the first game. I've played almost ten rounds on diety and still have yet to mention one AI Civ to another without them "not having the pleasure of meeting them." And for some reason ever single AI empire will declare war on you about 2000 years in even if there are others clearly in the lead. The game is also incredibly buggy. Many times a square that is clearly one resource type will show as a completely different on (i.e. Forest for production showing as trade). This is honestly an embarrassment to the developers after how well done the first game was. Developers if you're reading this please give me my money back. Can't believe I wasted ten dollars on it. DO NOT BUY

Beware! Not updated for iOS 11!. EDIT: This game is not compatible with iOS 11! I liked playing this on my iPad and given that there have been no updates since 2015, I apparently unwittingly purchased abandonware from a company that's awfully big to be doing things like this. I hope this gets dusted off and fixed soon... ----------------------------------------- I'm an old Civ fan who spent many more hours than I dare admit on Civ 2, 3, 4 (loved Beyond the Sword), and 5. Been too busy to play 6 much. I thought it would be a lot of fun to have Civ on my iPad too. This is pretty fun and great for what it is, but also very simplified. It would be cool to be able to engage in trade or protection pacts. Auto-exploration would be really nice too. I'd love to see an older full Civ game ported to iOS someday for those of us who want to engage in all the extra complexity. :)

Great Price, Fun Gameplay. Civ Rev 2 delivers everything that Civ Rev had. There isn’t much difference between the gameplay besides the platform (iPad vs console). There are a few new leaders, technologies, and units that make the game a bit different than what I knew before. It was definitely an adjustment playing on the iPad compared to the XBOX 360 but after playing one round I was able to understand the mechanics that I am used to on the controller. One critical point about controls: There is a tutorial and tips throughout the game but I feel like the controls are not intuitive unless you’ve played before or are used to iPad gaming. There are definitely some nuances that I wasn’t used to. I was able to pick them up but I’m sure others have found some frustrations. Not sure how to improve the experience but it’s what I observed. Overall, I’m very happy with Civ Rev 2. Great price, fun gameplay.

As good as the original. I loved Cubs 1 on the Xbox 360 and play it still on my Xbox one. I love this game. I do miss the wait one turn and I am still getting used to the difference in seeing how many armies I have in a city. I wish I could see them at a glance like I can the buildings. Building the ICBM is a bit annoying as it won’t let me tell it to defend or wait until I activate it so every turn it goes to it. But it is just as great as the original, a $5 well spent!

Update like pc. I know this game is aweome i love it personaly i use it to burn time well needs an update i dont play it very often i get board watch the turns go past make it where u can see wonder and building u build and make it where u might could build space fighters there needs to be more that just modern tech needs to be like space battles and multiplayer As well make alein civs and more leaders and countrys finland turkey more units and troops plz and when u try to discuss world leaders with another computer thing and the one u choose is like right beside them they dont even know them thats the end of this one i recommend yall make this update or people might stop playing

broken and never updated, 2K has no pride. The game doesn't work. Literally won’t work because it is not compatible with iOS 11. It’s not like 2K didn’t have warning. For shame 2K, for Shame. If the game did work, it still wouldn’t be very good. Combat is all about defeating armies of defensive units. Real combat isn't an option until late in the game when offensive units have massive bonuses over defenses units. Spies are almost worthless. Other civilizations never fight each other. They never even contact each other. Diplomacy is non-existent. The menus are all there, as if the game wasn't broken. It's like the fake storefronts in a theme park. Civ Rev 2 is a failure. It could be fixed. It should be fixed. 2K should be ashamed.

Spot on just missing 1 thing. I haven't played Civ in probably 10 years. I downloaded this for long flights and I am overly impressed. Only things that keep me from 5 stars are the following 1: there should be an option to turn off certain victory types. It's too easy to win by building 20 wonders/great people and I like to keep playing so I can use the advanced techs. How about an endless mode? 2: it gets really annoying later in the game when the AI keeps asking for tech and warning you...then they never actually attack. Other than that, love the game.

Fun time waster!. For what it is, it's great. There's enough variety to provide plenty of replay value. At one point though the game does become a little bit trite. It's great however for having to go to the DMV or standing in line somewhere. It's a little bit heavy on battery consumption however. I find it's also fun for starting conversation. When people ask what are you doing it's really fun to say: "Oh hold on one second I'm taking over Moscow... Right OK. What did you need?"

Continues to crash (iPad mini). This frame is great is many ways. It is true to the xBox 360 version with some minor limitations. However my biggest gripe with it is that the game clearly cannot handle the amount of memory required to effectively and continuously play once your civilization reaches a certain size and you reach the advanced years. I play on the iPad mini and the game crashes regularly mid-move. Even attempting to save - which I try to do every move - can crash the game. I regularly get stuck with the game - on the cusp of winning the game - and the app crashes every minute. Very frustrating. If they could fix this bug, the game would be 5 stars - without it and without the ability to easily finish a scenario / map - it gets 2. Would love to see this bug fixed.

Great Game, a few tweaks needed. This is a great game in terms of its civilization features...except one..! The AI has a weird habit of building cities in less than optimal positions early in the game, especially close to the players existing cities. It would be great to see the ‘raze city’ feature on capturing, of course ensuring you are able to keep any important people present. Recycling the space makes much more sense than being forced to manage a city that overlaps city squares with ones you have already built.

Buggy and unclear. Crashes a lot when loading games. Lots of the “actions” like ending a turn conflict with native iOS functionality. Also why did they remove the original Civ Revolutions from my phone, a game I bought and owned? They never refunded me my $4.99 despite taking away access to some thing i bought. Well because this game is nearly identical to the original in every way. It’s even got the same sloppy the typos like “Neopolitan” and uses modern Italian names Roman discoveries e.g. Dolomite, Fiumicello, just like the original. If you bought part 1, they took it away from you and made you repurchase a nearly identical game with even more bugs! Don’t waste your time or money.

Overall good game, but Revolution 1 was better. First, I was mad when they discontinued the original Revolution game. I paid for the game and they used the new IOS to discontinued a great game. Then they made me buy this game (Revolution 2). It’s good, but the game play takes some getting use to. I understand that you can only program so much on an iPhone game, but it can be clunky. It’s hard to move between units and command them. Also, I haven’t been able to get my units to automate. Perhaps it’s not available. Overall an ok game.

Worst Civ Rev ever. ...which is still a decent game. But so poorly designed compared to the previous version. Examples: city report shows only one city at a time, and does not show production; units are hard to see and difficult to select; UI elements are constantly getting in the way of terrain you want to tap; attempts to select a different unit often send the previous unit there instead; no end-game ranking; etc etc. It’s as if this were a first crude attempt, and then all the problems were fixed in Cov Rev 1... but bafflingly, they made them in the other order. If the first game still worked on my phone, I would never play this one. But hey, it’s still Civ, and so better than most alternatives.

Awful. I’ve been playing civilization in many forms all the way back to PC days on an old 286 when I was in college (young people, a 286 is almost a real computer) so I have a lot of loyalty to the franchise. I’ve always liked this game, but this latest attempt has managed to take all the joy and fun out of it. This version got so wrapped up in animation that the game play is discombobulated and incoherent, and it has become an onerous chore to gut through each turn. I’ve quit playing it altogether, and you should to. Developers, I don’t give a crap about how cool the animations are, I like the STRATEGY. Go back to a user interface that is simple and easy to use. You’ve lost an erstwhile loyal devotee here.

Bad UI, annoying graphics & lousy AI. Civilization Revolution two is little improvement on the original iOS game. The graphics on this version get in the way of controlling the units. The city manager screens are cluttered and no improvement over the previous version. If anything, there is less information available to the player to make decisions about allocation and build orders. I've played hundreds if not thousands of games of version one. It's buggy and I wish they had updated it but I will still go back to playing that over playing version two since the gameplay is exactly the same and the original version's interface was much better.
