Civilization VI is available on Android!

Civilization VI, a game we have enjoyed on this site. The game was released in October 2016 and, since then, it has been a success for the company, which claims to have sold 5.5 million copies and, therefore, has become the best selling game in the franchise. The title conquered the PC, where it has reached peaks of up to 162,134 players, and iOS, but now we also have the option to play on Android.

Aspyr, which was the company in charge of developing the game's port for iOS, Mac, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Playstation 4, has just launched the Android version. Aspyr, to put it in context, is the company that made the port of 'Star Wars: KOTOR' for iOS. Civilization VI can now be downloaded from Google Play completely free, although getting the full game will cost $19.99.

Android Civilization VI reviews and bugs

We all know in our hearts the Civilization saga as a whole is a 5 stars, but as of now Civilization VI on Android is averaging 2.9 stars. This is mainly due to bugs, as there are a lot of reviews in both the 5 stars and 1 star brackets.

Bugs or problems reported:

  • Users report that on some devices, skin on tiles entities constantly flicker between full color and black
  • Can't adjust graphics manually
  • Can't play music while playing
  • Map glitches and flashes blue
  • Crossplay not supported. It doesn't matter if you have the game on other platforms, you have to buy the expansions again
  • No option to change the language.
  • Crashes

 

Please don't be reluctant to buy the game because of these bugs/problems, the game was just released and it is likely to see fixes. Check reviews of people that have the same device as you, use the 60 turns test, and then decide.
