Best game ever

I have been playing this game for over thirty years. I am still not bored.

BUY IT

I played Civ 6 on PC , Xbox, iPhone
One of the best strategy games

DLC doesn’t work

Bought gathering storm for $50 and it won’t download on IOS, other in app purchases are also unable to redownload. How is this not theft? Figure it out Firaxis.

Downloads Seem Broken

While I love this game, I am on iPadOS 27 and when I try to download the various DLCs I have purchased (all of them) none of them will download at all. It doesn’t seem to time out or give an error, they just sit at 0%. I feel like they have abandoned this, and it really angers me that I can’t play a game that I purchased on here just because they have released Civ VII.

Games broken in 2026

Unable to download purchased dlc content. I want my money back.

SCAM

Idk it it’s a bug but I bought the dlc and dlc is not working asked for rerun hopefully I get it I love the game have it on switch wanted on phone so I can play anywhere

Horrible optimization on new Pro Max models

Don’t waste your time and money with this game. It performs horribly. Probably the worst performing game I’ve seen in years. Now they have Civ 7 but only for Apple Arcade. Guess you guys won’t be getting my money.

$70 to get Gathering Storm & Rise and Fall? Absurd in 2026

Straight up criminal price gouging. $10 for the base game, but you want the real full experience you need Gathering Storm and Rise and Fall. $40 and $30, respectively. Both are over 6 years old.

Misleading App

It’s totally not free game, ask for the payment right away at beginning.

Great game

Great game and enjoyed learning basic understanding of things

Bad

The game tries getting you to restore purchase, but when you go to restore purchase, it glitches out and goes back to the main menu and keeps glitching every time you try and repeat on restoring purchase

Not good port

30fps locked all these years later

For those who can’t download bought DLC

It suck, that the app, the game does not function properly and the developer won’t fix this issue. However, there is a way to still play the game and download all your purchased stuff - download the app, unlock the game. Then close it, as in swipe upward on the civ 6 app on your phone in order to restart. Then go to your settings - log out of your ‘media & purchases’. Mind - you will have to have your password for your Apple account handy for this to work.
Then open the game again. Go to the section with dlc and manually type your email and Apple password in order to purchase the dlc again (it won’t charge you); you can do every dlc this way real quick or log out and log in again the way I explained.
Then close it problem with the is that the ‘downloading’ option in ‘restore previous purchases’ does not work. As long as it states: ‘downloading pending’ on the app you can tap on it and ‘purchase’ the item you want again.
Cheers guys!

Doesn’t work

It is only letting me play the tutorial because I’m app purchases aren’t allowed in my phone and it is saying the free 60 turn’s are a purchase, please fix this

Broken

DLC doesn’t down load now no matter what I do, cannot get the store to download it even after reboot and restart.

Can’t play basic game

I paid for game, but I can play only demo mode. Restore, or refund

iPhone iOS 26 Breaks “Restore Purchases”

Leader Pass restored after a reload of the game, but the rest of the content files are in yellow text. Further, the game cannot connect to 2k servers to add the content - I’m hardly having problems on that score as no other program suffers. Fun replaying the tutorial, but just the base game is too elementary.

PURCHASE TO PLAY

when I downloaded the game it was supposed to be free but after completion of downloading 3GV of the files then when opening the game it runs out to be the trial only or you need to purchase for the game to play

Can’t restore in app purchase

It’s truly insane that this has reported as an issue multiple times in multiple reviews and still is not addressed. I was considering getting arcade for civ 7 but clearly they abandon games so no point making the purchase

Additional Content Won’t Download

As usual there’s an issue with the app download and that equates to being unable to play the game after VII being such an incredible disappointment.
