Finally, the much-anticipated follow-up to Civilization is here! Sid Meier's Colonization takes you into the Colonial Era to discover, explore and colonize vast territories that promise both danger and reward.
Play one of four colonial powers as you set sail to discover the New World. Explore new lands and strategically plant your first colony. Direct its growth, manage its resources and establish lucrative trade routes. Balance economics, political and military strategy to create your own powerful nation.
But beware of your enemies! Angry natives and rival powers can encroach upon your territory. You'll have to overcome your foes with superior military strategy and wily diplomacy. Only then can you launch your revolution and declare your independence.
Colonization, The newest strategy game from Sid Meier continues the great tradition of Civilization.
—User Reviews—
“The game is a rich and varied Gestalt of top colony activity. Strategies must be divined with care, and constantly modified to ride the chaotic rapids of the thousands of interactive elements in this opus of creative genius. Perhaps. Or it could just be a damn fine game.”
“Colonization offers hours and hours of entertainment. I played it for over a week to write this review and it commanded my total concentration all the time to play it once through. Because the game can be very different every time you play it, this means that Colonization is the sort of game you could play for ever.”

App crashes every time
LTodey
Each time the screen is touched, the app crashes. Every time. Unusable - the game requires touch input.
Will not launch on iPhone 12

I have never successfully launched the game. It crashes every time. Asking for a refund.
Doesn’t work on my iPhone 8

I loved this game growing up and I’m very frustrated to pay for this title just to have it crash on the quick start page. I tried re-installing and it continues to crash. I wish I could have experience the clunky user interface to be able to play a great game. However it is a non-starter and honestly I want my $3 back :(
Doesn’t load/work

The screen begins to load but kicks you out before the game starts.
True to form

This game is absolutely true to form of the original. Nostalgic and truly applaud the effort. The user interface has a learning curve, but is acceptable once you figure out the nuances. Well done overall.
Developers gave up on it.

Great game, but unfortunately no longer updated! I wish I didn't buy it (not because it's a bad game, but because I can no longer play it).
Way too clunky!

I wish that they’d better thought out how to port this over. It’s such a simple game but they insisted on keeping the keyboard controls instead of moving to touch controls. Makes the game mostly unplayable.
Awesome Nostalgic Game

The courser isn’t intuitive to play game. The learning curve is steep to figure out how to do the finer points like buying/selling anything less than 100 units. After a few hours you’ll be as fast as running it on a PC.
Interface needs updating

Agree with the other reviewer. Lose the cursor. What do you need a cursor for on a touch screen? Clicking and dragging units would be the easiest way to move them. Clicking and holding for command drop-down, etc.
