Tropico 5

Tropico 5 is a city-building and management game in which you lead the island nation of Tropico through different historical eras, from the 19th century to the 21st and beyond. You develop the country, manage your Dynasty and face challenges and opportunities that change with each era.

Rule through the eras

Begin in the colonial period, then lead Tropico through the World Wars and the Great Depression, the Cold War and modern times. Members of El Presidente’s extended family live on the island and can be appointed as rulers, managers, ambassadors or generals. Investing in them unlocks new traits and can make them valuable assets to your nation.

Develop your nation

Research unlocks new buildings, technologies and resources, while older buildings can be renovated into more efficient modern ones. You can choose from over 100 buildings across the individual eras. Beyond the fog of war, exploration reveals resource deposits and ruins of ancient civilizations.

Trade and multiplayer

Build a global trade fleet and use ships to secure import and export routes with neighboring islands and world superpowers. In cooperative and competitive multiplayer, up to four players can develop their own cities and economies on an island map. They can share resources, supplies and population, or declare war on each other.
