![]() However, the veneer of this actually being a new game rather than a stripped down T4 immediately ceases when a Tsunami occurs and an oil tanker from 60 years in the future (the oil tanker from T4) gets washed ashore. The game does have a nice interface, but it’s hard to say that it’s any better than T4’s, just different. Rather than starting with the same depth T4 eventually attained, they’ve opted to go with the absolute bare minimum, presumably so that they can portion out all the other T4 buildings in $5 DLC packs (Penultimo would be proud). The sheer number of structures that a fully DLCed T4 had at its disposal was truly grand. All of these challenges and any cut scenes and dialogue are all done for comedic effect and usually give me a chuckle… at least the first couple times I hear it. Some of these challenges are mandatory for advancement through the game, and some of these are optional, giving benefits for completing goals that the player may find convenient or completely disastrous. Throughout the game challenges are issued to the player. Over the years you’ll meet the challenges of rebellion, unrest, elections, housing, pollution, trade, education, imperialism, warfare, global politics, growth and city management, mostly by building the right mix of buildings in the right locations, micromanaging them and issuing edicts that come with some trade off. ![]() Tropico 5 opts completely for the latter.įor those unfamiliar with the series, Tropico thrusts you into the role of ruler of leader of a Caribbean banana republic and challenges you to grow both your nation and the balance of your Swiss bank account. It’s hard to find the right compromise between satisfying fans of the series by expanding the amount of content in interesting ways and making the game accessible to new players. It’s difficult being the 5th installment of a game like Tropico.
