Update your game.

It’s genuinely sad that this is only based on Tropico 3 and has had no major update in 3 years. Just peak laziness. It’s sad asf

Bugged missions!!

This game is fun and all but for this price, it should run. Many missions just bug out and never trigger events. You end up playing a long time on a mission but cant ever complete it. I don’t recommend any game where the devs can’t be bothered to produce a working product. Find another game!!!

Unplayable. The camera is buggy and difficult to navigate the game when building.
