Take command of a growing civilization wherever you are with Civilization Revolution on Nintendo DS. This handheld take on the legendary strategy franchise packs the depth you expect into a fast, accessible experience you can pick up during a commute, a break between classes, or a game night with friends.

Why this version stands out

• Touchscreen-driven control and a streamlined interface tailor classic Civilization depth for handheld play. Plan settlements, route caravans, and manage production with a few precise taps, making every decision feel immediate and rewarding.
• Compact, high-replay value designed for shorter sessions without sacrificing strategic choice. Each game unfolds quickly, yet still lets you explore big-picture decisions—technology, diplomacy, expansion, and culture—across eras from ancient times to the modern age.
• Multiple victory paths give you real agency: dominate through military, outpace rivals with science, win through culture diplomacy, or forge alliances to claim victory. Adapt your strategy to the world you’re building in every match.
• Local multiplayer for up to four players brings the rival spark of CIV to a handheld party. Pass the DS or wirelessly connect to test your empire-building mettle against friends and family.
• Historical flavor with tactical clarity each civilization comes with its own bonuses and flavor, letting you experiment with different playstyles—from expansionist empires to science-forward nations—without overwhelming complexity.
