Combat is turn-based and takes place before your eyes, so whether you are invading cities or taking part in some ship to ship combat you’ll get an idea of how the fight is going, allowing you to send some reinforcements in that direction if need be. The action during the game is pretty seamless. Speaking of leaders, they’ll occasionally pop up to tell you what they think of you, looking great in all their animated glory. The ‘L’ and ‘R’ shoulder buttons are useful here, giving access to the menus for tech and civics trees, which in turn helps you set your government policies, research tech and interact with other leaders, be that to trade, declare war, make peace or just invite them over for a cup of tea. Of course, if you are anything like me you’ll be hooked on the main mode, starting on a plain piece of land, before expanding your empire in a race to the finish. Given that games can often last 500 turns, the developer has also thrown in a Scenario Mode where you must rush to expand your empire as ‘Alexander the Great’, while other scenarios are also available giving you the option to jump in and finish the game at a much faster pace, which is ideal for on the go play. If you are new to the game then you will be able to make use of the included tutorial mode, while there is also an advisor on hand to guide you through some of the more complex parts of the game.
There are a few small issues, such as pop up boxes occasionally getting in the way of the action, while the screen can judder slightly when you are scrolling across your regions, although to be honest this isn’t too noticeable, or it wasn’t for me at least. Controls are a mixture of both Jo圜ons and also touch controls and it’s pretty intuitive, especially if you have played a Civilization game before. All of the text is easily readable, while you can zoom in to each of your units or cities to see the action close up. The developer seems to have done a wonderful job of the Switch port. Wherever you go you can take the Switch, so the only thing that stops me from playing is when it runs out of battery, which has happened on at least a few occasions when I’ve been playing in handheld mode.

When I play this game on PC I can never pull myself away and now that’s even more the case. Of course, there will also be conflicts and alliances formed along the way, so not only are you trying to fend off war but trying to be diplomatic too, all while still trying to one-up everyone else at the same time.įitting Civilization VI on to the Switch is no mean feat, but it turns out that this is a wonderful way to play. You’ll start off on a barren, unexplored land, before building your first city and then expanding far and wide, all while trying to beat others to the punch when it comes to developing new technologies such as farming, arms, electricity, nuclear weapons, social media and more. The whole premise is to take control of a leader from history and build your civilisation. If you’ve never played a Civ game before then what you are missing out on is one of the best strategy games around.

I’ve never been a huge fan of paying attention to history, I’m more the sort of person to look forward and imagine what the world will be like in years to come. So step forward Civilisation VI on Nintendo Switch, which in many ways is the perfect game for me because not only does it give me a history lesson but it also allows me to continue to look to the future, plus it’s bloody addictive too.
