Sid Meier's Colonization Positive Reviews

A Great Game -Love it!I will admit that it takes awhile to figure out and get use to the controls but it is 100% worth it - I am totally addicted AGAIN I remember playing this when I was a kid. They don’t really make a lot games like this anymore it is complicated you have to think and contemplate so many different variables. The game plays out slowly over time instead of bam bam bam, which is a nice contrast to the contemporary games I love. I really love it and am so glad someone adapted it to phone/iPad. I would love the controls to be a little easier but you do get the hang of it after awhile and I almost like the throw back nature of those too. I wish there were an easier way to keep track of things and jump from colony to colony. There might be I seem to discover new tricks all the time. So don’t give up on it bc the controls are complicated and frustrating push through -look up control short cuts online. If you played this way back in “the olden days”you won’t be disappointed just impressed with what a great it always was and still remains..SukiekeenVersion: 2.4

Love itThis is the same Sid Meier's classic that I enjoyed playing in my childhood in 94. The music is the same but of a lower quality , and the buttons get a while to get to know which is why most people here gave the game negative review due to frustration. The game should come with a page of instructions on how to use the new controls on iPhone. It's very playable once you know what you should be doing. to load /unload cargo ,select the cargo with your finger then select the keyboard and use + or - . To move across terrain just press on the square you want to move to and hold it then release. To check a square click on the brown board on the right side of the screen until a flashing square appears, then touch on a terrain then press f1 for info on the terrain, but don't click on a city directly with the flashing square that'll take you into the city. Instead click on a terrain next to the city then choose the keyboard and move the square with the arrows to the city , then select A to get a list of the units that you want to activate that are stacked in the city. Hope this helps . Enjoy the game it's lovely and addicting and the best way to pass time during long flights..MakamlarVersion: 2.4

Takes a bit to get the hang of it.It is definitely a challenge to navigate the controls, but I’ve been playing this app version for quite a while now and the game is the same as my dos version, maybe a bit better. The biggest thing I wish it had was the map editor that was included in the dos version. I would like to create my own unique maps like I could on the computer, but on my iPad instead. Other than that if you are looking for the original gameplay and pixalized fun I enjoyed as a youngster, then this is the game you’ve been looking for..OverNightDogVersion: 2.4

I love this deeply problematic gameI played this in middle school. I rediscovered it a few months ago and have played way too much of it. But I also discovered that it is deeply problematic and now I feel guilty for playing it. This is a game in which you establish missions to win Indian converts that are only able to do physical labor. Dang. Play this because it is fun and addictive, but spend some time meditating on the plight of Native Americans in this country and maybe think about doing something to help right this historic wrong..StevenCrawfordVersion: 2.4

Same as the original - except you don’t get a mouse and keyboardCheck online for the hot-key functions. Like: Using +/- to load/unload specific cargo. Pressing shift will then allow you to select a specific amount of that cargo also. It’s a bit clunky but it’s such a classic game, and nothing at all was changed. Don’t think it’s even available anymore but I’m still allowed to play it and clearly doesn’t need updates..TeamBubblegumVersion: 2.4

Playable but controls leave much to desireThis review rates the work of the app makers since this is a verbatim port from the 1990s PC game. As others noted, mouse control is very basic and many in-game operations are quite awkward compared to the original PC version. A Colonization newbie would have hard time figuring them out. What could be easy to do for developers, is to add at least support for a Bluetooth keyboard, would have made a difference for me. So I give three stars for good intentions and one extra as the app is priced very reasonably..Jma01Version: 2.4

Cannot move diagonally, but besides that it’s okYou can bring up the on-screen keyboard to perform short cuts like in the OG (like M to move, B to build, F to fortify), but there’s no way to move diagonally (OG you could use the number pad, but the on screen keyboard doesn’t have a number pad and the numbers at the top of the keyboard aren’t mapped to movement). Accessing the menus in game is also a bit frustrating. You can’t select a tile on the map and easily see what resources it produces via the menu/encyclopedia/colonopedia)..Tryng2findNameNotTakenVersion: 2.4

I’m all about it!!!This game is one of my favorites from back in the day. I see all the negative reviews and I’m my opinion they just don’t want to embrace the keyboard. When I played the original it was all about using the keyboard, mice were new at the time. It would be nice to be able to increase the transparency of the keyboard though. Everything else is perfect..CrimsondieVersion: 2.4

It’s exactly the old pc gameSo yeah controls (specially moving) can be a nuisance. That being said you need to use all the short cut keys won the keyboard provided to make it more streamlined. How to load unload stuff from ship to port or port to ship. Hover over the crate space and click “u” for unload or “L” to load items into it. It could use improvement in the moving, maybe an option that doesn’t require you to use the mouse, i mean come on developers it’s an app, i appreciate it being just like old one but there’s room for improvement given the new format. I used to play this game so it’s nostalgia for me, a new player may not enjoy it as much or would have a more difficult time figuring out the controls.Seabas1221223Version: 2.4

Good portIt’s a straight port of colonization. A lot of complaints about the touch controls in here but it’s really not bad once you figure it out Tap = right click Press/hold = left click (“go to” functions and all) Press/hold, then with second finger press and drag = drag and drop The virtual keyboard isn’t ideal but works fine, especially if you learn to use the touch controls primarily.Mustang678203Version: 2.4

My favorite game of all time !!!I was so very excited to finally see this game back. i LOVE it. i wish i was the cd rom version and not the DOS version. really. but. its all there. its an unchanged port of the first game from way back. the problem i have is the mouse amd keyboard interface on the ipad make playing it a huge chore on touch screen. just make it for mac. cd rom version on mac. id love you so much. im bummed i cant give it 5 star. because i am huge fan of this classic game !!!!!!!.Alfons L CVersion: 2.4

Needs a few things worked on but great otherwiseThis is a great throw back to MSDOS based games. The only issue is how the keyboard overlays the screen but after a little while you get used to it. I wish they were able to use the keyboard attachment for the IPad Pro. I would rate 5 stars when that is updated..DucoopVersion: 2.4

Excellent game then and still is now.. great depth, mechanics and advancement..Highly rate this, if you work out the controls. its exactly the same game as originally released.. so if you want a manual, go online and search for the original pdf players guide..StumeganVersion: 2.4

Straight forward port.This game is simply a port of the DOS game, with no changes. Controls take a bit getting used to, but are very simple and easy to learn. The only problem Ive encountered is trying to get terrain info on an arbitrary piece of land. Ignore all of the negative posts you see. If you're used to old school sid meier games, this is perfect..TychoMauddVersion: 2.4

Needs some work pleaseLet me start by saying I love this game. But the mechanics are a little choppy. There's definitely a bug with the load mechanic when you were loading ships and unloading them in the traditional game you could use the mouse to load and unload specific items. That mechanic is not working correctly in this game..RivioniVersion: 2.4

Great except for the controlsPerfect port of the game onto the iOS platform. My only complaint is the controls. It does take a long time to figure things out and is frustrating at times. Fix the controls please. Love this game. I hope to se a Master of Magic port happen in the future..Caydor7Version: 2.4

Awesome Nostalgic GameThe 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..Mr. Mr.123Version: 2.4

Awesome game but needs updatesGame is great however you can’t sell boycotted goods in Europe like you could in the normal game. Would love more options to move horizontally etc but can live with it for now.Mikey11129999Version: 2.4

An old favoriteBasically the old PC game, toggling to bring up an on-screen keyboard. Still fun, and now much more portable. One star taken off for lack of user support/instructions. Thanks to Makamlar for directions on how to move cargo!.GeorgaholicVersion: 2.4

True to formThis 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..Brando86VVersion: 2.4

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)..Tito BarrosVersion: 2.4

Great old school gameGreat game from the 90s. The only problem with it is interface. The game uses a simulated mouse and keyboard for controls. I got used to it after about 10 games..Wilie willie 47Version: 2.4

Can’t make it work with the curser clicks.Love this game please make it iOS friendly. Let us tap to select and double tap to move..John2341987Version: 2.4
