Some of the graphics and details feel also a bit dated. There appears to be no clear answer as to why, so they could have done with producing some more simple ways of explaining how I messed up. For example, when one building goes wrong a symbol appears, and then your money starts to sink. I did come across a couple of issues in my time however. So with trading, raiding, loans and buildings (oh my!), as well as juggling the economy, Tropico 6 will be keeping you busy for some time to come. If the people of your island start to get too pushy, you can always have them kidnapped and interrogated or even put a hit out on them – after all, you are the El Presidente. But this is all part of the Tropico experience, and to tell you the truth I prefer the game to push along at a quicker pace.

When I’m juggling rum orders to neighbouring nations and trying to feed my people or fending off rebels who don’t like the way I run things, the game can get full on. Alternatively, sandbox mode is super easy and relaxed, as you can choose what will basically happen and have a lot of items and buildings unlocked for you off the bat to play with.Īll the games offerings can be somewhat overwhelming I found. It’s also a great way of learning the systems in play here, with each mission getting a lot more complex and challenging, keeping you on your toes. There are around 15 missions across the campaign with each one lasting a fair while. The Campaign is where the real challenge begins for everyone, as unlike sandbox mode you can’t just place and do what you want you will need to follow commands and work around real issues that each mission will throw at you.

Otherwise, you won’t be able collect the resources your nation has worked hard for. Like most of games of this genre, you’ll need to have patience when it comes to the construction, as you will need to not only place the structures – such as mines and logging camps – in specific areas, but then to build it and reap the rewards you will need to make sure it’s connected to a road. You’ll need to strive for victory as you work your way through different eras in time. It’s about ruling the nation you create also. In Tropico, however, there’s more to proceedings than just building. You’ll be building all manner of weird and wonderful structures. Tropico 6 is a city builder, and this is exactly what you will be doing (when not people watching) throughout, either during the campaigns or the sandbox mod. Fret not though, if you have never played a Tropico game before, as while you’ll take longer to get to grips with it – naturally – but there no real follow on in terms of story through each game. You’ll spend a large amount of time playing, well, watching people build, and then the miners and the general goings on in the Tropico islands. If you have played any previous Tropico games before you will know it’s not all about the building of the island it’s almost more of a people watching simulator.

But does this sixth entry have enough in the way of new elements to make the upgrade worthwhile? Build your way to victory and save your islands from being attacked and taken over. The El Presidente is back, this time with more islands, more politics and loads more corruption.
