![]() ![]() Yes, this city-building takes place across an archipelago of islands, so you’ll be constantly swivelling and panning the camera in order to take everything in, and only by zooming way out will you be ale to see everything on screen at the same time. Even though El Presidente is somewhat of a behind-the-scenes character (you do most of your interactions with his loyal Penultimo), you can quickly find yourself becoming lost in the character of the game’s islands. Make sure you place lots of parks within your communities or the people will become depressed.Īnd that’s a shame, because Tropico 6 is a moreish game full of personality. I’m certainly not one for hand-holding in games, but there are times when things have really got to be spelled out. So, after setting about constructing libraries, I had expected to see those extra five points needed for the required level of liberty satisfaction come into being, but no – the figure remained rooted to the spot. You’ll need to score through the menus to find a hint as to what affects liberty – from my reading, guard towers and military presence harmed liberty, while the lists showed the building of libraries was one of the things which did the opposite. On starting the game proper, where missions must be completed in accordance with a strict time limit, I watched the months tick away helplessly when tasked with improving the liberty aspect of my populace. But such is the complexity of the game, the tutorial doesn’t manage to effectively explain everything. Tropico 6 starts with one of the longest-winded tutorials I’ve ever experienced in a game, covering establishing factories for exports, building living accommodation, and managing the expectations of the different factions of your population: capitalists, the religious communities, and the revolutionaries, to name a few. If you don’t provide enough affordable accommodation, residents will erect shanty towns around El Presidente’s palace. The set-up is something akin to Kalypso’s earlier Switch title Railway Empire, with the ZL button bringing up a wheel from which you can select construction projects, establish trade links, invest your hard-earned funds, check on the happiness and satisfaction levels of your citizens and lots more. This is a highly complex, in-depth management sim with a tremendous amount of detail at play. The game has you play as El Presidente, a dictator in the vein of Sasha Baron Cohen’s General Aladeen in the 2012 film. This is the first time the long-running series, which started life as a PC title, has appeared on a Nintendo system. ![]() That’s exactly what’s on offer in Tropico 6, a city-building and management sim from Kalypso Media. It’s fitting that hot on the heels of perhaps the most controversial election in United States history, the Switch should give us a chance to take control of our own nation state. ![]()
