As a bit of a veteran with real-time strategies, I’m honest enough to admit that if a tactic works, I’ll milk it.

In theory, these are the proving grounds that will help you last longer in power in the sandbox mode, and also teach you methods to thrive which you may have previously overlooked. In some respects, the missions are tutorials (with consequences) as they will be tailored to a particular playstyle. For a very brief time, you can sympathise with politicians.

Though it’s easy to lose yourself, bear in mind that it isn’t all peachy as civil unrest is strife, depending on your management style, and managing budgets is a feat in itself. With the latter, I highly recommend you set yourself a timer as it’s so easy to get lost in this game as it takes an age to make progress (in a good way as progress is the point of the game). There are two modes to choose from: mission-based or a sandbox. The tutorial does cover the basics, but as with most games within the genre, you’ll get a better understanding through playing. If you’re familiar with the Tropico series, you’ll be at an advantage as it’s a little overwhelming. Governing your people on your sofa is much better. Not that you would play something such as this or Civilisation on the bus to school or train to work, but most of us aren’t allowed to do so.

Surprisingly, it isn’t as difficult to decipher anything in the game, and the UI isn’t as cluttered as some of its counterparts, so there are no concerns for playing this in portable mode. The last Tropico game I played was on the PS4, so jumping to the handheld was an interesting one as that was the method I mostly played the game in, rather than the docked mode.

Not something often associated with the Nintendo, but taking the role of El Presidente and ruling the land how you see fit is viable now, and you can do so without any of that archaic voting malarkey.

Having an in-depth strategy title from the Tropico series is welcome to the Switch with open arms as a console not just for the casual player or family, but for those intent on dictatorship.
