About

Aspiring dictators can take their island empire on the go, because ruling a nation is a never-ending job that requires continuous and dedicated leadership beyond the comfort of your sofa. From balancing the means of production to ensuring the happiness of every loyal citizen, the Tropico 7 Special Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 provides island access across five excessive campaign maps, regardless of where your next government appointment may take you.

Tropico 7 Special Edition brings the series beloved signature mix of city building, politics, economics, and *questionable presidential decision-making* to a version specifically optimized for the handheld platform. Making use of the console’s unique features, the game supports mouse controls for Joy-Con 2 controllers for more precise control over island construction and management as well as GameChat to communicate with friends via voice chat or share their screen.

Tropico 7 expands the series signature formula with new ways for El Presidente to shape both the island and its politics. The revamped Council brings faction leaders directly into the halls of power where they can be negotiated with, manipulated, or El Prez’s favorite—completely ignored. The addition of Terraforming gives players greater control over the landscape, from raising land and redirecting rivers to creating new parks and new islands. Customize your island and make use of synergy effects to create the happiest environment and achieve new heights of citizen satisfaction. You can even customize the appearance of El Prez and your palace with new and creative options at no cost to real-world taxpayers.
