- Tropico 7- Dev-Log #2 Anniversary Edition – The Simulation behind Tropicans - 3 August 2026
Tropico 7- Dev-Log #2 Anniversary Edition – The Simulation behind TropicansWake up Tropicans, a new Tropico 7 dev log just dropped. Topics:The simulation behind the citizens of Tropico 7Celebrating 20 years of Kalypso & 25 years of Tropico:Interview with Studio Heads Daniel & Kay from Gaming Minds Studios (neither coercion nor interrogation techniques were involved) Snippet from behind the Dev-Log: Looking back on 25 years of Tropico, how does it feel to be developing Part 7? And which aspect of the development of Tropico 7 contributed most to your “Total Satisfaction”?"We've been creating strategy games since the early days of Kalypso Media, so Tropico has always been a series we admired from the sidelines. When we learned that Gaming Minds Studios would be entrusted with developing Tropico 7, we were genuinely thrilled and, admittedly, a little humbled. Working on a brand-new Tropico…

- Tropico 6 moves to next year, looks a lot like a Tropico game - 17 August 2018
Sure, sure, Tropico games are about as indistinguishable from each other as the founding staff of a PC games website circa 2007, but I can forgive that. There’s just something about their sun-kissed, low-stakes, silly-but-not-too-silly take on city-building. Every couple of years I really feel the itch to comfort-blanket myself with one, and lo and behold, every couple of years there’s a new one. That itch? I feel it RIGHT NOW. Alas, alack, woe is me, Tropico 6 , originally billed for 2018, won’t be out this year after all. I shall have to console myself with this eerily familiar trailer instead. (more…)
- The 20 best management games on PC - 4 July 2018
Base-building is de rigueur these days, what with all those survival games, Minecraft, Fallout 4 and now Fortnite, but before all that we had tiny top-down or isometric worlds in which we diligently built cities and dungeons and theme parks and rail networks. The central appeal of management games was and is that they give us an idealised sense of what it is like to create a game – to weave new worlds upon our screens, guided only by our imaginations, ingenuity and the limitations of the in-game taxation system. Magic, right there: the birth of your own universe. For a while there, it looked as though the management flame was fading, choked by the low-grade tycoon games that littered supermarkets’ dusty games shelves. But this is The New Age Of PC Games, which means every near-abandoned idea of yesteryear has been revisited in thoughtful and ambitious new ways. Town sims and…
- Tropico 6 reveals its isles of plunder - 15 March 2018
If I were going to steal the Eiffel Tower, I’d definitely strap a giant rocket to it and launch it into the sky. Once it was airborne, I’d remotely pilot it back to my volcano lair and then park it in the Monument Chamber next to the Statue of Liberty (also rocket-propelled) and the Great Sphinx of Giza (trundles around on little wheels). It’s not clear how El Presidente nicks the various monuments scattered around his archipelago nation in Tropico 6 , but a new video shows the Eiffel Tower standing in tropical climes, as clear as can be. You’ll be able to organise raids to steal them, we’re told, but the biggest change is in the lay of the land. Rather than managing a single island, you’ll be connecting several islands together, which means you’ll need new tech and transport infrastructure to keep everything running smoothly. (more…)

- Nemesis Bundle 3 live on Bundle Stars, featuring S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Tropico, and others from 89p / $1 - 25 September 2017
Not to let itself be out-done by Humble’s very many bundles packed with games, Bundle Stars has put together the ‘ Nemesis Bundle 3 ‘. Unsurprisingly, this is the third iteration of the ‘Nemesis’ bundle, which collects a whole batch of games with a penchant for a little bit of the old ultra-violence. Similarly to Humble, this one is structured in a ‘pay more, get more’ format, starting from 89p / $1. To get the whole lot you’ll have to throw down 8.89 / $9.99. That’s fifteen games total , including entries from the Tropico, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Shadowrun franchises and more. You can also get the extra bizarre FaceRig tech in the mid-tier of the bundle if you like pretending you’re a raccoon on camera among other things. (more…)
