Thanks to some excellent overall design it's pretty easy to see what's going on around you, and while it's unavoidably text-heavy, the UI is colourful, classy, and well-organised. It looks great on the Switch too, and this version stays largely true to the PC original. We tested on an iPhone 7s and this year's standard iPad, and while the load times (both in terms of booting up the game and then between turns) feel a little lengthier than they do on a capable gaming PC, you're not left waiting too long before you can return to your tinkering. We took a look at the iPad version after we were invited to look at the game on iPhone, but then we found out that the game was coming to Switch so we thought we'd kill three birds with one stone.
Let's start chronologically and work our way through the timeline because the iOS versions are worth taking a look at too, even if the Switch release is the main reason we're here. We'll not delve into the nitty-gritty of Civ VI as we've already done that here, rather we'll focus on the functionality of Firaxis's game now that it has landed on these new platforms and can be played via both the touchscreen and, for the first time since Civilization Revolution hit last-gen consoles, on a traditional controller.
Earlier this year it landed on iPad, this autumn it hit iPhone, and then this month we got another version of the game on Nintendo Switch.
Firaxis has been beavering away at its flagship franchise non-stop, and so Aspyr Media has been handed the reins and tasked with bringing this epic strategy game to touchscreen devices.
CIVILIZATION VI SWITCH REVIEW UPDATE
Civilization VI has been out on PC since 2016, and since then it has been updated with the Rise & Fall expansion - let's get it out of the way right now, for some reason this more recent content isn't included in the portable versions of the game - and there's an extremely interesting update on the horizon called Gathering Storm.
