#TROPICO 6 REVIEW HOW TO#
The missions take you through the story of Tropico and are really useful for new players who might still need some guidance on how to approach things, though if you’re new to the game like me, you might still find some of these challenging at first. I now had an idea of how to do things, and of the basic mechanics of the game. Democracy? Dictatorship? Full-on bribery of the opposition? It’s up to you, El Presidente! You’ll learn all about the building side of the game, creating and trading goods, keeping your people happy, winning and balancing the favour of opposing factions on your island, dealing with (and engaging in) crime, and of course, how best to stay in power.
Skillz, amirite?Īs I was entirely new to the game, I started first by doing the tutorials, which are easy to follow and give you a good overview of all there is to do and achieve. I’m very good at getting into debt though. Reader, I could sink hours and hours into this game, though I’ll admit now that I’m not very good at it and I most definitely need tutoring. Tropico 6 is another management sim that I got well and truly addicted to. We’re all about that female dictator rep, right? The presidential palace is also customisable, which is a pretty fun little feature, I won’t lie. And – get this – your ‘presidente’ is customisable and can be made female. Rather than ruling just one island as in previous installments, the game gives the player access to an archipelago of islands, which is really neat because it’s so easy to run out of space on these games. Tropico 5 was criticised for dumbing down a decently complex game, and this latest instalment rectifies that, bringing back old mechanics and making the whole experience more diverse again. There are some interesting changes that distinguish Tropico 6 from its predecessors.
#TROPICO 6 REVIEW SERIES#
It is the fastest-selling installment in the series so far, and has had good reviews across the board. The latest instalment, Tropico 6, was initially announced at E3 back in 2017, and the game was developed by Limbic Entertainment and published by Kalypso Media in 2019.
You’ll need to build up industry, trade with world powers, keep your people happy, healthy and entertained, survive in a cutthroat world of politics, and keep your people safe. The game’s basis and aims have remained similar throughout the life of the series: the goal, simply put, is to stay in power – how you do that, democratically or not, is entirely up to the player – but to do so, you’ll need to balance a number of different plates at once.
You, the player, are El Presidente, ruler of Caribbean ‘paradise’ Tropico, a banana republic.
The Tropico series started back in 2001 and has been a popular franchise ever since. It’s rather enticingly called Caribbean Skies. As we’ve never had a Tropico review on the MHG blog before, I’m going to take you through a little bit of background information about the game, as well as a look over the base game ( Tropico 6, which was released March 2019) as well as a look at the new DLC, released just recently, in December 2020. I’m pretty new to the Tropico franchise, but I can get really addicted to a good management sim, so I was eager to dip my toes in. Tropico, the satirical, one of a kind construction-management sim is back with some exciting new DLC! So, let’s talk about it.
