About these games

Tropico 5

Tropico 5 returns players to the remote island nation, where El Presidente’s dynasty rules from the early colonial period to beyond the 21st century. From the 19th century through the World Wars, the Great Depression and the Cold War to modern times, every era brings its own challenges. Relatives can serve as ruler, manager, ambassador or general, and investing in them unlocks new traits. The game adds advanced trading with a trade fleet, research and building renovation, island exploration, and — for the first time in the series — co-op and competitive multiplayer for up to four players.

Tropico 4

Tropico 4 is a simulation strategy game in which you lead the island nation of Tropico as El Presidente. The world is changing: powers rise and fall, and new market players bring new demands while you must win over your people. You can elect selected citizens to ministerial posts to push through controversial decisions, and trade goods with other nations. Natural disasters such as volcanoes, droughts and tornadoes strike the island and bring new challenges.

Tropico 3

In Tropico 3 the player becomes the dictator of a remote island during the Cold War. The locals can be charmed, persuaded, intimidated, oppressed or cheated to stay in power — whether as a kind leader or as a corrupt tyrant ruling with an iron fist. The island can be turned into a tourist paradise or an industrial power, with promises made to voters or political rivals slandered before elections. The game offers a tongue-in-cheek take on third world politics, corruption and totalitarian regimes, and includes a 15-mission campaign, a random map generator and an avatar under the player’s control.

Cities: Skylines

Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. As mayor you build a city from the ground up and balance education, water, electricity, police, fire fighting and healthcare along with a real economy, while citizens react to gameplay. It offers a detailed traffic simulation, the option to make parts of the city into districts with their own policies, and a day and night cycle that shapes residents‘ schedules – traffic is slower at night and some zones do not run at full efficiency. Extensive modding support lets you create and improve maps and structures and share them on Steam.

Cities XXL

Cities XXL is a simulation in which you design, build and manage large and varied cities, becoming the mayor of your own sprawling metropolis. Players plan residential, retail, office, industrial and infrastructure zones across 47 architectural styles, keeping citizens content through leisure activities, landmarks, and ecology and pollution management. New ecological structures and upgrades, such as park & ride, an electric car dealership and bike hire, add a greener approach to the game. Resources can be shared between several cities across maps within the ‘Cities Planet’, and player-made content can be shared and downloaded via Steam Workshop.

Ostriv

Ostriv is a city-building game in which the player acts as governor of an 18th century Ukrainian town, testing their creativity and management skills. It sets out to push the city-building experience further by adding many possibilities and removing restrictive limits, so towns can grow organically, without grid or angle rules on a three-dimensional landscape. The goal is for what players build to become living, believable communities where real-life problems arise, so the late game stays a challenge. Development is still ongoing and slow, and updates may be far apart.
