Top Pcmac Reviews

Playable but controls leave much to desire

By jma01 (Pcmac user)

This 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.
I love this deeply problematic game

By StevenCrawford (Pcmac user)

I 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.
Love it

By Makamlar (Pcmac user)

This is the same the app 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.
A Great Game -Love it!

By Sukiekeen (Pcmac user)

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.
