About
Get rich or die trying! You are free to agree with El Presidente—on the greatness of Tropico and his unmatched leadership skills. In Tropico 7, you step into his shiny boots again to build your archipelago nation and—literally—move mountains.
With great power comes great responsibility – and even greater opportunity. As the most benevolent leader of your island nation, guide your loyal citizens (and your Swiss Bank Account) through the ages toward untold prosperity. Remember: Control isn’t tyranny, it’s efficiency – and more control means more efficiency (except when Penultimo is involved, but that’s another story).
Exert your control and shape the landscape you are building on to fit your vision. Plan and construct complex city layouts, fulfil the multifaceted needs of your subjects, give precise directions to your army, and look down on your opponents in the council, all while revelling in your own splendor. See how it all leads to ever greater efficiency? This could be an aspiring dictator’s dream come true indeed… however, sometimes life gives you lemons. Or obstacles in the shape of a very clever and very annoying opponent: Victoria Guerra! You will need all your skills, cunning and presidential ‘grandeur’ to end this latest chapter with a simple truth: ¡Victoria no es la revolucion!
Lead your nation to new heights: Tropico 7 tells El Presidente’s continuous success story across five ampaign maps—starring himself, Penultimo and a new nemesis: Victoria Guerra.
