At first off-putting with its lightweight mechanics, Civilization Revolution has value for strategy gamers alongside its powerful appeal to a casual audience. Meier didn't tailor his game for players who expect to confront plans arranged like Babooshka dolls. If, during a three-hour game, two nations are belligerent, one is obsequious and the others keep to themselves, casual players will have all the dynamics they need.
Civilization Revolution's ease and gracefully quick pace, with the game's colorful and animated interaction, summate a delightful experience. If more so for its intended market, Meier and Firaxis Games' work is a balanced, entertaining adaptation.

Dorkly: "History is written by the winners, and that applies to games, too. While we hold up our post-apocalyptic wasteland adventures, period piece assassinations and Liberty City crime sprees on a pedestal, we would do well to remember the little guys. These underseen, criminally underplayed games didn't do well critically or commercially, but they were still wonderful experiences. Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."
