Tropico 5 invites players back to the captivating island nation of Tropico in the next chapter of the beloved 'dictator sim' series. Begin your rule during the colonial era and navigate through significant historical milestones, including the World Wars and the Cold War, all the way to modern times and beyond. With every era comes unique challenges and opportunities that will test your leadership skills.

One of the standout features of Tropico 5 is the expansion of your Dynasty. Engage with various members of your family, each potentially serving as a ruler or a key manager. Strategically invest in their development to unlock new traits and abilities, turning them into invaluable assets for your regime.

The game also introduces advanced trading mechanics, where players can create a global trade fleet to establish trade routes for importing and exporting goods. Players will explore beyond their island, uncovering resources and ancient ruins hidden beneath the fog of war.

With the addition of cooperative and competitive multiplayer for up to four players, Tropico 5 allows friends to collaborate, share resources, or engage in fierce competition to build thriving economies on their chosen islands.
