Sid Meier's Civilization® VII in IOS

Our Expert Score

95/100

Civilization VII is a monumental achievement in mobile gaming. It doesn't just feel like a port; it feels like the definitive way to play the game for many. The 'Age' system—where your civilization evolves and potentially changes identity as you move from Antiquity to the Modern era—is the biggest shake-up in the series' history, and it works beautifully.

The interface is clean, and the 'one more turn' addiction is stronger than ever. Being able to play a deep 4X strategy game on a plane or a couch with the same fidelity as a desktop PC is incredible. The cross-play support means I can start a game on my PC and finish it on my phone during my commute. It’s a 10/10 for strategy fans.
