Civ on the streets, Civ in the sheets
The world’s premiere 4X strategy game has finally landed on Switch! It promises the real deal – the full Civilization VI experience – distilled to handheld form, and it’s a relief to report that Aspyr has done a fine job squeezing Firaxis’ game onto the hybrid console. Beyond a few small issues, it...
About The Game
Whether it's at home, on the road, or wherever else you play, make your mark on history with Sid Meier's Civilization VI on Nintendo Switch.
Explore the world, advance your culture, wage war, and make peace as you compete against history's most renowned leaders to build an empire that will stand the test of time.
- PLAY YOUR WAY: The path to victory is the one you determine. Become the most scientifically advanced civilization, dominate through sheer military power, or become the foremost destination for the cultural arts.
- THE WORLD'S GREATEST LEADERS: Play as one of 24 different leaders from various countries around the world and throughout history. Build an empire of lucrative trade routes with Cleopatra of Egypt, flex the military might of your legions with Trajan of Rome, or develop a powerhouse of culture with Hojo Tokimune of Japan. Each of the leaders can be played any way you prefer, with unique abilities, units, and infrastructure in their quest for victory.
- EXPANSIVE EMPIRES: See the marvels of your empire spread across the map. Settle in uncharted lands, improve your surroundings, build new districts, and see your cities – and your civilization – prosper.
- ACTIVE RESEARCH: Unlock boosts that speed your civilization's progress through history. To advance more quickly, use your units to actively explore, develop your environment, and discover new cultures.
- DYNAMIC DIPLOMACY: Interactions with other civilizations change over the course of the game, from primitive first interactions where conflict is a fact of life, to late game alliances and negotiations.
- EXCITING AND UNIQUE SCENARIOS: Civilization VI for Nintendo Switch includes four playable scenarios, each with a different setting and style of gameplay inspired by history. Be part of the colonization of Australia in "Outback Tycoon," defend Poland from invaders in "Jadwiga's Legacy," choose a Viking leader to conquer Europe in "Vikings, Raiders, and Traders!", or conquer the known world in the "Conquests of Alexander."
- COOPERATIVE AND COMPETITIVE MULTIPLAYER: Up to 4 players can cooperate or compete for supremacy via a wireless LAN.

Excellent game that will rob you of loads of your time
I have seen lots of mixed reactions to this so want to provide my 2 cents as a Nintendo Switch fan and longtime PC strategy gamer: it’s really good. Like surprisingly good. It runs well thus far, local multiplayer is fun, controls are acceptable, and it has the first set of DLC (just not the expansion).
There are load times but nothing unbearable, and the lack of online multiplayer does suck. However, I still give this a strong 9/10 and recommend to strategy fans.
All DLC and expansions that were previously available only on PC is now available for purchase on the Eshop.
A free patch was also released that added Hotseat multiplayer (pass the Switch between players taking turns), Hall of Fame (think of it as a fancy local leaderboard).
This means that the game is finally a true port of the PC version with almost all bells and whistles.
Love it, started to prefer playing on switch to pc now I’m more used to controls
