Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2 is a 4X turn-based strategy video game for portable platforms, developed in 2014 by Firaxis Games with Sid Meier as designer. It is a spin-off of the Civilization series and a sequel to Civilization Revolution.[2]
Gameplay
The game features returning leaders from the original Civilization Revolution, such as Abraham Lincoln and Napoleon Bonaparte, along with new leaders such as Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy. Players are tasked with building an empire from one of several choices, including Japan, America, Russia, and several other picks. Once a player has founded their capital, one may start research and city production. Other civilizations are also on the map, whom the player can discuss world leaders with and trade technologies. There are four ways to win the game: Domination (capture all enemy capitals), Economic (collect 20,000 gold pieces and build the World Bank), Cultural (acquire 20 converted cities, wonders, or great people, then build the United Nations), and Science (be the first to launch a spaceship to Alpha Centauri). Each victory has different ways of achieving it.
Releases
The iOS version of the game was released in July 2014.[3] An Android version of the game was released on November 7, 2014.[4]
A PlayStation Vita version of the game, entitled Civilization Revolution 2 Plus, was announced in October 2015.[5] Adding exclusive scenarios, units and world leaders (including Oda Nobunaga, Heihachiro Togo and Himiko), the game was set for release globally on December 3, 2015.[5][6][7] Ultimately it only launched in Asia on that date, whereas the western release was delayed twice[8][9] before coming out on late March 2016.[10] A physical version, featuring box art designed by Hidari,[11] is available in Asia in both local languages and English.[12] The PS Vita version lacks multiplayer.[11]
Reception
The game was moderately well received with a score of 66 on Metacritic. In comparison to other games released however, this places Civilization Revolution 2 in the bottom quarter of games scored on Metacritic for the iOS platform in 2014.[13]
