Civilization as an MMO – can it work? Watch the video and judge for yourself.
Civilization Online does not work like some might think, like Age of Empires Online, which simply plays as a normal game of Civ against multiple players, but rather as an MMO, where you control a character in the world of Civ. Of course, the MMO has numerous sandbox elements and relies on collaboration among players. The gameplay video at the end of the first phase of a closed beta in Korea now shows you how players build a city together – and how others come to destroy it.
Granted, the whole thing is quite exotic and visually does not impress like the videos of Black Desert or Black Gold Online… but still. What could be better suited for a sandbox MMO than Civilization? You can’t build much more than humanity.
