About Tropico 5
Tropico 5 is the fifth entry in the tongue-in-cheek “dictator sim” series, developed by Haemimont Games and published by Kalypso Media in May 2014. As El Presidente you build up a small Caribbean island nation while keeping its citizens, factions and foreign powers just happy enough to stay in office.
For the first time the game spans whole eras, from colonial rule through the World Wars and the Cold War to modern times, each with its own buildings and challenges. Members of your Dynasty can be appointed as managers, ambassadors or generals, a trade fleet secures routes to other islands, and up to four players can build side by side in co-op or compete online.
Key Features
- Four historical eras – From colony to modern state
- El Presidente’s Dynasty – Family members with unlockable traits
- Research and renovate – Over 100 buildings across eras
- Trade fleet – Export and import routes by sea
- Multiplayer – Co-op or rivalry for up to 4 players

Why Buy This Game?
Tropico 5 suits players who like their city builders with a sense of humour: the radio commentary, election speeches and absurd edicts make every crisis entertaining. Moving through the eras keeps the economy fresh over a long campaign, and the co-op mode makes it one of the few builders you can comfortably share with friends.
