### 4/5 — Can not save the game

*2025-06-15, version 1.5.5*

Good game but cannot save now.

### 3/5 — Amazing game but no save feature is ridiculous

*2025-06-12, version 1.5.5*

Why cant we save or load the game??? I prefered Civ Rev 1

### 2/5 — I can’t save

*2025-06-05, version 1.5.5*

Like the title says, I cannot save my games or load them. HELP HELP HELP

### 2/5 — it doesn’t save my games

*2025-05-25, version 1.5.5*

the game plays fine except I can’t save my progress at all. So dumb. What a waste of money

### 1/5 — Can’t save or reload game

*2025-05-25, version 1.5.5*

A great game but as other posters say you can no longer save or reload your games. So effectively it makes the game unplayable (unless you have 2-3 hours to burn). Fingers crossed for an updated release in the future

### 1/5 — Do waste your money

*2025-05-23, version 1.5.5*

Cannot save the game. Or load any games. Runs glitchy. I want my money back. 

Don’t waste your money

### 4/5 — Fix the update glitches

*2025-05-23, version 1.5.5*

Big fan of the game, so forth and so on, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THINGS HOLY PLEASE FIX THE LATEST UPDATE BUGS: 1. If you change apps but didn’t close the app your game would not disappear, this no longer happens on any semblance of consistency. 2. You can’t even save a game and load it! Right, you heard that, you can’t save a civ game and then come back and successfully load it, why? Because it’s not even there, and won’t save. 

WARM MY OLD HEART AND PATCH THESE

### 3/5 — Used to work properly

*2025-05-21, version 1.5.5*

I can only give it three stars for atleast playing the game. But as soon as you save your progress, it’s not saved. Get Civilization VI instead.

### 4/5 — Great game but not maintained

*2025-05-20, version 1.5.5*

Love the game 
We cannot save anymore

### 2/5 — Fun classic, less fun when you can’t save

*2025-05-17, version 1.5.5*

I’m on an iPad Air M2, completely up to date and the save interface just doesn’t work. Can we get a refund?

### 1/5 — Save/load doesn’t work

*2025-05-15, version 1.5.5*

Whilst a fun game it’s pretty pointless playing unless you’ve got a whole hour to spare as the save/load function doesn’t work. With that in mind I’d save your time and efforts and avoid this app.

### 3/5 — Stoked and bummed at the same time.

*2025-05-14, version 1.5.5*

I was stoked to find this in the App Store. I have been playing civilization revolution on Xbox now for somewhere around 15 years and was pumped that I would be able to pop out my phone and play anywhere, and you can do just that. 

Civilization revolution 2 has everything that made the og so good. The only downside to the game play is that it can sometimes be a bit tough to select what you when on the screen and selecting units that are on the same tile can be a bit cumbersome. 

And now for the biggest downside and the reason it has lost 2 stars in my opinion. You CANNOT save your game. Like what the heck? It’s all good if you have the time to dedicate to a full game in one setting but don’t think you’re going to get a good start and come back because that puppies gone and you’re starting fresh.

### 1/5 — Fun game but won’t let me save

*2025-05-13, version 1.5.5*

Fun game but won’t let me save. I’ve always been a fan but this version on my iPhone won’t let me save or load a saved game so it’s a waste of

### 1/5 — No longer able to save.

*2025-05-10, version 1.5.5*

It’s been 7 years since this app was updated. Has it been abandoned?

### 1/5 — Dead game

*2025-05-09, version 1.5.5*

Literally has a game breaking save feature that will not allow you to save any game. Whatsoever. So unless you play your entire scenario in one go, it will never save it. Very unfortunate but given the age of the game there will also most likely not be an update to fix. Until then do not spend your 5$

### 1/5 — Please fix this!

*2025-05-06, version 1.5.5*

I’ve been playing this game for years and I am no longer able to save any progress on iPhone. Developer, please resolve this issue

### 2/5 — Fun but many bugs

*2025-05-01, version 1.5.5*

You can’t save your game and  sometimes glitches force a restart wiping out progress.

Needs to be updated with more intelligent bots, new technologies, and more expansive geography.

### 1/5 — No Save

*2025-06-17, version 1.5.5*

Great game, but you can no longer save progress - shame.

### 1/5 — Save is broken

*2025-06-17, version 1.5.5*

Gotta love buying a game from a major publisher like 2k and they don’t even bother to make sure the save feature works

### 1/5 — No Save option

*2025-06-16, version 1.5.5*

Game will not save or load any files… i love this game but that unfortunately makes it almost unplayable.

### 1/5 — Updated Making the Game worse

*2025-06-15, version 1.5.5*

Last update removed the ability to save and the ability to continue after the app is forced closed. So many gripes about this game. Why do we have to watch these long move animations? In Civ Rev 1 if you zoomed out it would make the animation very fast. Put that back in!
Can we also speed up the attack and defend animations or skip them altogether? An average game takes waaayyyy to long for an app. Please fix!!!

### 1/5 — Save feature disabled

*2025-06-14, version 1.5.5*

Can’t save or auto save. This is a recent issue. Fix this or issue refunds!!!

### 1/5 — Cannot save

*2025-05-31, version 1.5.5*

### 5/5 — It won’t save

*2025-05-26, version 1.5.5*

Great game, but it will not let me save any progress at all- I play on an ipad and whenever I try to save a game it doesn’t work- there are no slots that load after I try to save. But yes, a fun game indeed
