Return to the remote island nation of Tropico in the next instalment of the critically acclaimed and hugely popular ‘dictator sim’ series. Expand your Dynasty’s reign from the early colonial period to beyond the 21st Century, facing an all-new set of challenges, including advanced trading mechanics, technology and scientific research, exploration and for the first time in Tropico history – cooperative and competitive MULTIPLAYER for up to 4 players.
Key Features:
The Eras - Start your reign during colonial times, survive the World Wars and the Great Depression, be a dictator during the Cold War, and advance your country to modern times and beyond. From the 19th century to the 21st, each era carries its own challenges and opportunities.
The Dynasty - Each member of El Presidente’s extended family is present on the island and may be appointed as a ruler, a manager, an ambassador or a general. Invest in the members of your Dynasty to unlock new traits and turn them into your most valuable assets.

All new art - All artwork has been re-designed from scratch to provide Tropico 5 with a unique visual identity. Choose from over 100 buildings from each of the individual eras.
Cooperative and competitive multiplayer – Up to 4 players can build up their own cities and economies on any given island map. Players can choose to share resources, supplies and population or declare war on each other.
Seems good price. Shame the game isnt too hot apparently. I would always stick with Cities: Skylines, the king of tycoons!

From the looks of it, it hasn't changed that much from 4, which itself was literally(!) a recolour of 3.
Definitely seems a great price to try though.

It's ok for a while - but it's a bit like civilization, just with more obstacles thrown in, I got a bit tired of it fairly quickly.
Also couldn't work out why my "armies" wouldn't defend when the city was attacked.

5 is miles different than 4, did you even look at the game? Plays totally different too.
Its good but 4 and 5 are 2 completely different games but with their good and bad points.
This is just the base game its kinda pointless they milked 5 more than 4, best to pick up the complete package for like £10 in a sale or youll end up paying more for the DLC, they cut so much out of the main game to sell as DLC.
