They’re a great starting point (after the tutorial, which is pretty good at teaching the basics) as they give you goals to achieve and point you in the right direction as far as constructing a sustainable economy and keeping people happy. Only three are unlocked from the off but more will become available as you complete them. The main meat of the game though is fifteen campaign levels which put you in designed scenarios and have a story of sorts. There’s also an online mode which is the same but lets you play with up to four players, depending on the map. There is a sandbox mode which allows you to set your own start date, money, population, the difficulty of the factions and the win condition. It’s not a massive game changer but it’s a new feature which gives you another option to play with, each landmark granting bonuses. You can have Stonehendge, the Taj Mahal or the Statue of Liberty gracing your island if you want. They can also perform heists, which means stealing a landmark from other countries to bring to Tropico. There are four buildings that become available through the different eras and they allow you to loot certain items with pirates or intimidate your neighbours with commandos to make yourself look better in comparison. A little manipulation of the votes will also get you over the line, probably, but the people won’t like it.
But then again, neither did a little extra money in El Presidente’s Swiss bank account which you can use to buy standing with factions, blueprints for buildings or even an image campaign if your approval rating is getting worryingly low. They’ll also offer you a reward so they’re well worth doing, a little extra money for the country never hurt. People will belong to specific factions and the faction leaders will approach you with certain tasks, like building something or enacting an edict, which will gain their favour. Happy workers will earn the country money and will vote for El Presidente! There are plenty of tools to help you keep track of this stuff with a heat map showing things like high crime areas or areas of low liberty or an almanac putting the data into number form. Make sure they have sufficient housing, entertainment, access to faith, healthcare and education if the job requires it. You’ll soon get used to its quirks though and jumping between menus without a problem.
It works fine, but can be a little unresponsive at times. Radial menus give you everything else you need with the building menu opening out into more radial menus, whilst others open up the appropriate window which you have to scroll through rather than moving a cursor. The left stick moves a (slightly too large) reticule for interacting with stuff, the right stick controlling the camera to move around the island and zoom in and out.

You can start with ranches, mines and distilleries but with the invention of electricity later on things can really ramp up as you’re canning pineapples, generating tourism, creating pharmaceuticals and developing nuclear bombs.Ĭontrols work as you’d probably expect from a PC port.
The technology and industries evolve as you progress through and adapting to a new era is the key to succeeding. There are four eras represented: Colonial, World War, Cold War and Modern Day. Keep your house in order though and you can rule through the ages. Ultimately you are in charge of how well the country operates, elections showing whether the people have faith in you or rebels ousting you by force if they believe it’s necessary. As ruler you have control over everything, from how many and which types of houses are available, what industries are active, imports and exports, the constitution and international relations. You play as El Presidente, a customisable ruler of the fictional island of Tropico. I’ve only ever played Tropico 3 many years ago so I’m not going to be able to point out the slight differences between this and the last version (or any version really) but what I can say is that it’s a very enjoyable game. Tropico 6 is a management sim that’s been out for a few months on PC but has now made it’s way to PS4.
