Sid Meier's Civilization® VI

Edit: I was able to finally complete a full game without crashing. This legitimately feels like a full port of the game. Even has the hypocritical War weariness and Gandhi the warmongering “pacifist”: I love it!!!. Hopefully they will release some of the expansions from the main game in the future, but otherwise this is the game I was expecting when I first downloaded the app. Thank you to the developers for fixing the game! Keep up the good work. Old review: When this game works it’s amazing, but it crashes so often that it’s more frustrating then worthwhile. Originally I tried running a standard game. Crashes started around turn 50 at 150 I was crashing every other turn. Looked at the reviews figured I would try a smaller map my device is only 2 years old but whatever. Get to turn 250 with 3 crashes. Annoying but playable. Now that map is is once again crashing every couple of turns. What is the point of a game you can’t even play properly let alone play to its full potential. I have other full AAA games ported over that play fine. Appears I’ll have to stick with them and maybe one day they will fix the this app to work properly until then maybe try to convince Apple to give your money back. Side note 3-4 minute wait times to load a map are ridiculous particularly with the crashing.

Probably the best gaming experience I’ve ever had on iPhone, or from any mobile game at all. It’s beautiful, it’s easy to navigate, it’s responsive and it’s well worth every penny. I love the long stand offs against my opponent, fending off every battle and making temporary peace just so I can work my way up to thermonuclear weapons and...well it’s all hell fire from there. One thing though...one very important fix that NEEDS to be made. As I said, I enjoy using the nuclear option. It’s just that it also nukes my game in the process. I of course want to witness the destructive power of the atom in all its classic civilization style glory. But if my camera is aimed at the event, it freezes. And boom, done, that’s it. Game frozen and I have to close the entire app and go back to the save, use the nuke again except this time I can’t watch the city burn to a crisp. This also happens when attack enemy units that carry nuclear weapons, and at that point there isn’t enough time between pressing attack and it actually happening for me to move the camera so as not to crash the game. Please please PLEASE fix this. This is a game breaking bug for me, this ruins the whole experience of the game, and this is probably my favorite strategy game of all time. Please fix this :(((((

Absolutely the greatest phone game a person could ever get their hands on. Single player works flawlessly, and is the full game like you’re playing on PC. IF YOURE LOOKING FOR GREAT SINGLE PLAYER ACTION THIS IS IT. Multiplayer is kind of disappointing due to there only RECENTLY (as of 1 day ago) been multiplayer where you could play with others outside of your own local WiFi. They have added cloud play, meaning you can have a set game saved on their servers, and you can play with others, but the system is VERY buggy as of now. It’s VERY hard to get into a game due to unknown errors because all it tells you is “Error joining Multiplayer Session”. But when you DO get into a game, you have to wait days sometimes a week before it is your turn again. But it’s a step in the right direction, and great for people who enjoy that sort of play. (because there are many who do) However, I still feel since there is a massive civilization community, there needs to be LIVE play options and servers. Where you play live with people without the need for waiting days and weeks. But I know it’s a work in progress, and these things take time. I’m simply saying you would find your player base growing on this app with that feature. Great work otherwise guys! 👌🏽

So to describe my issue let me start with what I have: Game: Civilization VI Mobile (1.2) Expansions: Vanilla with all nation expansion; not Rise and Fall or Gathering storm Device: iPad Air 2 When the game was released, this device was included in supported device and the game ran smooth. No crashes, freezes, or bugs. Now on to the problem: As of about a week or so ago (after update 1.2 making Gathering Storm available), my game about every 10-40 turns (no matter early or late game) will freeze mid turn. Just the screen itself though, the sound continues and even button interaction works (the sound of the pause menu coming up, changing map views, etc), but the screen stays frozen. It happens completely randomly, but always during my turn (ex when I move a unit or open a city menu). So far I’ve have tried restarting the game, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, freeing up extra space (I have 30+GB left on my device), and updating my device all to no avail. This just started happening, after the latest update. I love the game so much and unfortunately it is a game ending bug.

On the one hand, it is impressive that they got this thing to play on mobile and I love Civ 6. On the other, it’s annoying that after buying all the expansions on Steam I’m being asked to buy them again here. $20 is a fair price, but I wish they would have credited me the expansions. Grumble, grumble. At the moment I’m writing this, I’m also annoyed that I have been forced to stop playing a game I really liked because of a glitch preventing me from recruiting a great prophet and ending my turn. I had a similar problem once with diplomacy which turned out to be bypassed by going back a few turns and initiative the same diplomacy option myself instead of letting them ask for it, but in this case no matter what I do (complete with gold, reduce my points per turn to recruit later, etc) it appear impossible to either recruit the prophet or pass entirely. I really liked this map so I may just load back to an early turn and not build a holy site. I guess this is a known bug they plan to fix in the next patch. Sigh. On the whole, I do recommend Civ 6. If you can, play it on PC. If you can’t or want it to go then get this and the expansions. Nubia is OP for early domination btw. Gotta love archers that move like scouts.
