Sid Meijer’s Civilization has been one of the hallmarks of the strategy/world-building video game genre. The mix of history and gameplay has been appreciated for decades, and as the world of video games have evolved, so too has Civilization. From basic graphics and sprites to HD and 3D models, the games never stop evolving, much like history doesn’t stop evolving. The latest game in the series, Civilization VI, was released this year to great fanfare and praise. And now, it’s about to get a whole new experience.
For the first time, a full Civilization game has come to iOS, and yes, we did just say the full Civilization VI experience is here on iOS. Many people are surprised at this because the game can be complex in its controls and menus. Yet, the team at Asypr Media seem to have overcome it and put in the touch controls synonymous with the iPad. To be clear, to play the game on your iPad you must have iOS 11.1.2 or later and it be must be on an iPad Air 2, iPad 2017, or any of the iPad Pros.
Here’s the launch trailer for this edition.
Adding even more intrigue to the release is the fact that you can technically download the game for free. That’s right, you can download it for free. However, there is a catch. You’ll only be able to play the first 60 turns of the game before coming to a stopping point via a paywall. When you hit that, you’ll have to pay $60 in order to unlock the rest of the game. You’ll only need to do this once obviously, but it’s important to say it now.
That being said, the game is 50% off right now in the App Store should you want to get it now. And Civilization VI most definitely is a game worth checking out.
