Fun twist on city building and Linux nat
Verified purchase
A different kind of city building with elements of country management added in. It takes me longer to get bored of this game when compared to traditional city builders. I would also like to thank these developers for supporting Linux with releasing the game natively on Linux.

I love the Tropico series and I honestly think this is the worst so far. Terrible campaign, no explination on game mechanics, bugs, terrible controls and subpar graphics. Much better quality buying Tropico 4 or 6 instead of 5.

A quality city builder sandbox with the communist trappings that make this series a hit.
The game's era system allows you to begin your reign during the colonial period and advance through to the modern age allows you to progress through some of modern histories important moments.
Overall the game is worth the price and will provide plenty of entertainment.
