2K today announced that Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2, the sequel to one of the most popular and award-winning, turn-based strategy games to hit the App Store, is launching as a premium title on July 2 for iOS devices, including the iPhone, iPad, iPad Mini and iPod Touch. The title will be coming soon to Android devices.
Civilization Revolution 2 is the first Civilization game to be developed exclusively for mobile platforms, delivering high-impact graphics and new gameplay and controls that capitalize on the mobile technology advancements since the original Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution launched more than five years ago. The game will combine the core tactical elements of the series with intuitive controls and a friendly user interface - designed specifically for mobile gamers on touch-pad devices. Civilization fans will also recognize the 16 historical leaders found in the first game, including Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi and Napoleon, alongside leaders such as Churchill and Kennedy, who are making their appearance in the series for the first time.
The original Civilization Revolution, designed by Firaxis Games in 2008, was a watershed game for console and handheld systems and brought to iPhone in 2009. In 2010, the title was optimized for Apple's high-definition iPad and has since achieved an average rating of 4/5 stars among iOS users. Staying true to the series, Civilization Revolution 2 will allow players to lead a civilization from the dawn of man to the modern age, and go head-to-head with history's most intrepid leaders as they wage war, conduct diplomacy, discover new technologies, and build the most powerful empire the world has ever known in a race for ultimate supremacy.

Hoping it's the real deal and not neutered
-
Hnnnggggggg
Civ rev was so much fun on my ds
Ios wins again
-
Hoping it's the real deal and not neutered
Uh, Rev was "neutered" slightly. This'll be a continuation of that "neuter."
-
I wouldnt say neutered, its civ rev, not civ.
Fits handhelds perfectly
-
Will buy

Technically in Himuro's world, that'd be "neutered."
But honestly, Civ Rev wasn't bad. A continuation on consoles would be good, but mobile is a no brainier at this point.
-
Definitely going to get this. Played so much Civ Rev on my iPhone and iPad. I probably played too much of it on trains in Europe instead of looking outside the window at scenery porn.
haha yeah I played this to death on buses and trains in Asia too.
There is only so much scenery you can take in
-
Screenshots look line Civ. Getting. :)
-
I played it (the first one) for the DS & PC (emu). It was fun, but not addictive for some reason.
It will depend on the price point for me. 10 dollars would be my sweet spot.
-
Its out!
99 dkk, 13 euro, 15 bucks
bit steep, dunno if I will bite tonight already
Anyone play it yet?
-
When will it be out on android thats all I care about. Disappointed that there isn't any multiplayer
-
Ok I picked it up because I love me my civ.
Feels like this one is super turbo charged and streamlined. Dont think the devs where kidding when they said you could play a game in an hour.
Its been a while since I played Revolution 1 but that game could last hours, this one so far seems way less complex.
No judgement yet since im playing on the second difficulty.
-
Completed first game

Didnt really feel like I could lose though, everything happened so fast ;/
-
Beat the game on emperor now with a cultural victory.
Game seems way too easy.
Not sure im happy i spent 15 bucks on it.
-
Thanks for testing it!

Have you tried any multiplayer yet?

:bow

The first one sucked on iPhone, was ok on ipad. Not sure I want another. I turned on the original today and I'm not sure it has aged well.
-
Well, it is the real deal as far as being a premium "sequel" to Revolution goes. Revolution was a casual-friendly Civ game, so difficulty is toned way down.
This goes way beyond that one I feel.
The game is so quick it doesnt seem to matter what you do (mind you after two games). Even on Emperor I just plucked down 3 cities, then I annexed two cities through culture and that was it basicly. All enemy AI where at war with me but no one really made an effort even though I saw a tank.
There is no option to continue playing even after getting a victory ???
-
Deity makes more sense then other difficulties
-
Cultural Victory on Deity
Was a bit more close with the greeks launching a spaceship but still a snooze :(
-
First one is better that is the weird thing.
I feel kind of cheated out of money by this one...
-
That's a shame. :( Civ Rev 1 was good on consoles/handhelds. I don't know why they'd have to make it easier for mobiles. :-\
-
Game has a 2.5 star rating now
The death kiss when you cost 15 bucks
-
It'll be 99¢ for Christmas.
-
Kind of feel like not paying the full price for beyond earth if that happens
-

Beyond Earth will be your loss if you wait. Sid's Alpha Centauri is a seminal, inspirational work. This will be its spiritual successor. You'll see.
-
My only concern about Beyond Earth is how similar it looks to Civ 5. I hope they manage to make it feel like its own thing and not a palette swap to an old game.
-
I have had every civ game except 3, also pirates, colonisation and that ios airplane game.
This is by far the worst game they have ever made.
Ill get beyond earth eventually but maybe ill way for some goty pack with a few expansions.
-
3 and a half stars on Toucharcade! Well, with their rating scale, anything less than 4 stars is garbage, so that sounds about right.
-
Touch arcade also haven't reviewed Kim Kardashian: Hollywood yet, so what do they even know about what's hot
-
I think this shaun fellow was very generous with 3.5 stars, i wouldnt go beyond 2.5
If thats even his real name
-
I don't even think it's good for new players, the original civ rev is better.
My first civ was CIV 1 when I was 8/9 and I loved it already.
-
Well the review came out like 6 days after the game, think you owe me 15 bucks man!
-
Yes but which game is more relevant to the audience of the website?
Japanese action game that never made it big in the West or one of the key Western franchises for the past 23 years?
15 bucks man :'(
-
yeah but thats a vocal internet minority, what about clicks on the main website and stuff
you can't tell me its my fault I got burned
-
Mon Hun is pretty great I agree, already put 12/15 hours into it.
You know I'm just taking the piss right with it being TA's fault and all? The part about the late review stands of course but as you guys don't get to play early it makes sense.
And No I didn't read anything about the game before because I have never been burned by a Sid Meier game before.
-
This one was 2K china I think, you would think they would be more careful with the branding with this franchise.
-

You bought it as soon as it appeared on the store without waiting for user feedback, mate. But it made sense to blindly trust a sequel to a game you liked. We've all done that before.
-
I did the same with Dragon Age, big mistake too.
Oscar is there any chance someone from the gaming press will reach out to 2K to comment on user feedback, which unlike other games they made is horrible?
-
Metacritic for the original is 85/80
Sequel 67/43
Game is at 2 stars now on the app store
-
I wouldn't judge Beyond Earth based off of this. CivRev 2 cleared misfired but it is not a Firaxis project.
Borderlands Legends was a similar mishap. That game should have just been borderlands loot crossed with XCOM style gameplay, but it was a big mess instead.
