ANDDDDROOIIIDD!!!! |:(

EDIT: apparently, this game is 15$ with in app purchases. This immediately dims my burning desire for the game. I hope price drops by the time it launches on android.

Ugh, I really hate how a lot of mobile games are iOS only. I'm not opposed to buying a gaming device when it has a bunch of games I want to play, but this is really not the same thing. I'm not buying an iPhone for this. This is wasted on me.

Buy an iPad.

No thank you. The money I saved up if for a different purpose and I spend the money I earn on other things. More useful things. I don't want an iPad for any reason other than a means to play some mobile games. Looking at the price point an iPad goes for that's far beyond what I am willing to spend on the types of games it has exclusively.

Completely agree. There's a few games here and there I'd like to play that are iDevice exclusives, but nothing that'd warrant me spending that amount of money.

Would buy this in a heartbeat if it was on Android!, Alas it's on a platform I'll probably never buy while still being conscious..

The apple version of Civ Rev was, quite frankly, dull as shit. I don't expect this to be any better.

CivRev was not good, at least from the perspective of someone who's played ever Civ from 2 onward, but it had its heart in the right place so maybe this will be better.

What?! Where did this come from? QL please!!

Was Sid Meier involved in making this game, or is it just a cheap cash in? The first one was great on iPad...but I have to say...this looks nearly identical.

A quick look of this would be much appreciated, £10 can seem a bit steep on iOS.

I want CivRev on the pc badly, was excited that it might happen finally.

When CivRev launched on consoles I was disappointed as it wasn't to be the full civ experience but a lighter version. Much to my surprise it's still my favorite version even after Civ V. I've probably spent more hours playing CivRev on my 360 than any other title (ran much better once I could install it to hard drive). I'll continue hoping it will come to the pc some day. In the meantime I'll have to get this new version for the iPad and hope it can become my new favorite.

I saw this and got excited, then was disappointed it was iPad exclusive. It's super cool it's getting a sequel anyway, the first one was a super fun way to play a quick (compared to normal Civ) game with a friend.

I was actually anticipating the new Firaxis announcement would be Civ Rev 2 since it seemed overdue but I wasn't quite expecting a mobile exclusive.

Makes sense, the previous iOS version was built on the 2D DS version. They've actually been adding features to that version. It makes sense for them to do a 3D rebuild. Hopefully we see a console sequel for Xbox One and PS4 at some point.

Whoa, that came out of nowhere. I'm so annoyed that it's iOS only, since the first Civ Rev came out on consoles and handhelds and the DS version was really good. I don't have an iPad, and I don't want to play a game like Civ Rev on my tiny iPod Touch screen.

Shame, I really liked that first Civ Rev game.

Still wish they would just put Civ V tactical mode on iPad, but I guess this will have to do.

It... looks the same as the first one? As a PC civ fanatic, the first revolutions on the iPad didn't do it for me.

Damn. Real shame for me that's it's on mobile. I thoroughly enjoyed the first game on the 360. Best way to adopt the series to a controller.

Fingers crossed we'll see it on consoles sometime.

Why is this apple only. Would love this on the Wii U for example. Even the other consoles would benefit from this.

Just checked it's $14.99 on the app store. That's a price that frankly I can't just "impulse buy" at this particular moment.

Yeah, I think I got Civ Rev on iOS for real cheap or free. It was fun to play a few times, but I'm not willing to pay $14.99 just to have Civ on the go when I can easily boot up a better version of Civ on my computer.

Civilization Revolution was an awesome streamlined consoles adaptation of that series. It was a little shallow to support itself as a long term single player investment though. Once you figured out your strategy, you could kind of work the AI and just replace your military buildings with science ones depending on the victory you sought. It was great for multiplayer though. The simplicity really worked in its favor for quick pickup games that didn't require a several day investment. I think mobile is a good fit with this, actually. Though, I'd rather see it come to dedicated platforms than iOS. Hopefully it'll make its way to eShop and PSN soon.

I dunno, I thought Civ 5 was pretty user-friendly. Not enough for a console though, I guess.

Wait. What? This is a game? I love Civ in any form - and more Civ sooner is a good thing no matter what. But really did I miss something? Or was this a stealth release?

Hopefully this comes out for more than just iOS, though it does seem like just a slightly updated version of the CivRev we know and love.

Abe could never tell a lie, so he will cut you. I didn't really enjoy the first Civ Rev game because I love the depth of "regular" Civ games on PC too much. So bring it on Abe, I'm not afraid to cut you, either!
