Just to assure those who might worry that AllAboutSymbian game reviews would turn into AllAboutJava, there is light at the end of the tunnel! Read on for a preview of a real treat for Symbian gamers.
HeroCraft announces the forthcoming release of the long-awaited game Revival for PDA & Smartphones.
Revival is a turn-based military strategy game in the tradition of the world-famous game title, “Civilization”. The player will have to explore continents, direct battles on land and sea, build towns, develop science and uphold the economy of his empire.
Great events take place in the world of Revival: grand empires are created; highly developed states collapse in a flash, science degrades and rises again, brutal wars never end, great wealth is created in the millions but can be lost just as easily… The eternal struggle for power is the mark of this world, and only the best ones will be blessed with absolute rule. Unconquerable general or inborn diplomat? Talented economist or crafty politician? You choose your path to glory in the world of Revival.

I always preferred the look of the original 2D Civilization, much more like a board game (which is what the game is, really), and 2D strategy suits a small screen much better than isometric 3D.
Things like Invasion and 4elements look absolutely great but they don't have any gameplay at all (I'm not joking, they're unplayable and the developer refuses to provide any documentation).
