![]() ![]() You’ll be managing the economy by creating jobs ranches, mines, and farms to start off with, before moving on through to bigger industries such as textiles, oil, canned goods and lots more. You’ll have to juggle what tasks you take on as well as everything else around them. While The Crown wants to keep you in place so it can manipulate you and rule the country without having to set foot inside it, the local rebels want you to do things for them – to start a revolution. However, The Crown isn’t the only outfit pushing you to do them favours. You can choose to extend your run as leader or take a cash reward. Completing a task gives you a few rewards to choose from. This is to your benefit as well as The Crown’s. You’re on a contract and you can extend it by completing tasks set by The Crown. You’ll want to keep The Crown happy, as if you don’t you’ll find yourself out on your arse and, presumably, hung from the gallows. You can start off with a vast bankroll of riches, or you can play the game old-school and really start from the bottom, clawing your way to independence and then setting out on your own to progress through the eras, right up to modern times.Įach game starts with you taking over as leader, backed by The Crown who set you tasks and drip a little money every now and then. You’re free to choose from any map you fancy and set the game’s conditions to your liking. ![]() It’s here that you’ll get the most bang for your buck. I played through a few of the campaign levels before turning my eye towards the main meat of the game: sandbox mode. The idea of working hard to create a country only to give it up and start again on another map once I’ve hit my goals doesn’t sit well with me. I’ll be honest – this doesn’t interest me all that much. Tropico 6 ships with a full single player campaign consisting of over a dozen different maps with their own goals and stories. I found that with enough fiddling around in the game’s menus, I was able to figure things out whenever I got a little lost. To the game’s credit, it does offer a very robust tutorial that covers just about everything you’ll need to know to make you a great, glorious leader of the people, but the sheer amount of information being thrown at you means that you’ll no doubt forget some of that info by the time you actually get into the game. Even though I’ve played the games before and given the game a whirl on the Xbox One via the Game Preview program, I was still left scratching my head at times. I didn’t, but that’s because I’ve got a bit of experience with Tropico in general. ![]() It’s not as simple as that, it’s actually a little more complicated than the game saying “have at it, son” and then leaving you alone.įirst things first, if you’re new to the Tropico series, for the love of democracy, please, take half an hour to play the tutorial. Tropico 6 puts you in the hot seat as you attempt to run your new country. You can have a go, though, and you can do it all without having to get on your knees for your Oxbridge professor. Whether your country’s leader is a Twitter whore, a little posh bitch or a comedian, you’ve no doubt wondered “if they can do it, why can’t I?” The simple answer there is money and influence. If you say to me that you’ve never thought about how the country would be better with you in charge, you’re a liar. ![]()
