"Civilization VI" is Take Two's latest turn-based strategy video game that allows players to be the pioneer of their own civilization. While the game was first launched as a PC title, iPad users will now have the same power to conquer the world as the publisher brings the game to the Apple tablet.
As reported by The Verge, the version of "Civilization VI" on iPad will have the same feel of the original PC game, highlighting the large-scale structures and empires that the players should be able to control. The game will also let the players discover new technologies and cultures on their own as well as making their newfound civilization prosper. What makes "CIV" more exciting is that players can compete for their respective civs against others via local multiplayer mode.
Unlike those PC and console game titles featured mobile games for tablets and smartphones, "Civilization VI" on iPad will not be a watered-down version. Some game publishers believe that by making the mobile game version simpler than the original, more users will find it appealing. Take-Two has a different view of that matter, as "CIV" will remain as a full-featured strategy game on iPad instead of a short-length session, Extreme Tech reported.
iPad users may now download "Civilization VI" from the App Store for free, which is described as a "full, award-winning 'Civilization VI' experience." Upon getting the game, players can start growing their civs and improve their people's way of living by investing in agriculture, sailing, and masonry, among other fields.
Players should also keep in mind that there are other prospering civilizations around, which pose a threat to their own civ. This is why it is important to make a civilization strong enough to defend itself from attacks, and as much as possible conquer the other civs first before they come to invade. Although, if the player is not fond of waging war, victory can still be obtained through diplomatic actions.
Aside from "Civilization VI," Take-Two has also released the mobile game version of the original "XCOM." Meanwhile, iPad users can purchase the full version of "CIV" for $60, but for now, it only costs half the price until Jan. 4.
