Prepared for iOS Tropico is a mobile version of the cycle of economic strategies in which we play the role of the dictator in charge of a small island state. Contrary to the main editions of the series, the company Kalypso (consistently developing the series since its inception) is not responsible for the creation of the discussed production, and Feral Interactive studio, known for mobile conversions of such brands as Grid Autosport or Rome: Total War.
### Mechanics
In the game we supervise a small island state. Our choices determine issues such as the well-being of citizens, as well as their level of freedom and civil liberties. The player has an influence on the economy (e.g. extraction of natural resources) and diplomacy (e.g. contact with the leaders of other countries). We can also shape the island itself, both geographically and demographically.
Interestingly, the dictator in whom we come to embody is not an incorporeal spirit, but the actual character – we have influence on his appearance, as well as skills. Their proper adjustment has a big influence on the further course of the game. We also have the opportunity to visit your country in its skin – such as walking on the beach, visiting casinos or making speeches. This fact can also be used for strategic purposes, as the leader’s visit most often makes subordinates work much harder.
### Game modes
In Tropico on iOS it has a single player mode only.
### Technical issues
The iOS version of Tropico is based on Tropico 3 code, released on PCs in 2009. The production has an attractive three-dimensional graphic design, which looks good on the screen of a phone or tablet. The control has been designed to take full advantage of the touchscreens of modern mobile devices – it is worth noting that the character of the game, including a large amount of text and options, makes Tropico much better to play on a slightly larger screen.
