If you are a fan of 4x games in general, Civilization in specific, don’t mind a lack of live opponents and don’t yet own the first one, SMC:R2 is an easy recommendation, Unfortunately, we’re not really sure how many people fit that narrow demographic. This was something that could be reasonably overlooked in 2012, but we’re living in a networked world, and we’re all networked boys and girls…the omission is glaring here, especially with the lack of any other real content improvements to shore up this rather blatant whole. Still, at $14.99 for the package, this one is cheaper than its fully decked-out predecessor. There are absolutely no IAPs to be found here, but the same was true for the first year of the life of the first game, and look how that ended up. The main difference between this version and the previous one is that the high price is all-inclusive…at least in theory. Currently tapping that just calls up a scenario that casts you as the rebels of the American Revolution in theory more will be forthcoming as time goes on, but there was nothing definite at presstime. There’s also a “live events” mode new to this iteration. It gives you only the barest of outlines of the gameplay, but covers all the essentials.
#CIVILIZATION REVOLUTION 2 TUTORIAL PC#
This version has been given a fairly impressive 3D makeover, and the map even has a slight curve to it, not unlike the look you’ll find in the PC series’ current, fifth entry.Ī brief tutorial game is available from the main menu.
Old enough that it wasn’t even a universal app, the first SMC:R is dated in look and feel in the current arena. There are a few extra units and a few extra civilization leaders relative to the first one, but the goals are the same, the strategy is the same, the player count is the same…it’s the same game. Other than that…for a game that has “Revolution” in the title, there’s really nothing revolutionary about this one. You’ll typically be presented with 4 and can choose 1, and achieving it will confer some bonus on your civilization. There will be certain points during gameplay where you will randomly be offered a selection of secondary objectives. You now know everything there is to know about the gameplay of this one. (Just not too much copyright law is a bitch.)īack? Good.
we’ll even hum the Jeopardy theme or something. More than 2 years later, the sequel is upon is – just how revolutionary is it?įirst of all: if you haven’t yet read our review of the first entry in this series, go ahead and do so now. After a two decade-plus run as one of the most beloved of PC strategy franchises, Sid Meyer’s Civilization made the leap to console and mobile with the Revolution series, first landing on iOS in January of 2012.
