ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sid Meier's Civilization® VII holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sid Meier's Civilization® VII has 2K ratings behind it against 369, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Kingdom Two Crowns+'s written reviews are positive against 42% of Sid Meier's Civilization® VII's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kingdom Two Crowns+ ships an update every 4 months, Sid Meier's Civilization® VII every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
