The superpowers may build a military base on Tropico, protecting the island from the other and offering monthly payments. If either of the Cold War superpowers becomes unhappy with the player's regime, it may launch an invasion to overthrow it. If "El Presidente" manages to stay in positive view of the Soviet Union and the United States they will supply him with foreign aid money. If the army is dissatisfied, it can stage a coup d'état. Rebels can defeat the army and storm the Presidential palace. Individual factions and powers can also end or disrupt El Presidente's rule. If the island's populace disapproves of the player's actions, they may vote their leader out of office. Regardless of any other stated victory condition, the main goal of any Tropico game is to stay in power. It is available both digitally on Steam and GOG.com, and on disc.Ī screenshot depicting the strategy oriented gameplay.

This is similar to the previous 8bit Game Dictator by DK'Tronics, except in Dictator the success is measured by the amount you put away in your Swiss bank account, which is an offshore bank account. The game is tongue-in-cheek in its presentation of semi-democratic banana republics, using a great deal of humor while still referencing such topics as totalitarianism, electoral fraud, and the interventions of powerful companies ( United Fruit is implied) and the Cold War superpowers (the United States and Soviet Union). The games see the player taking the role of "El Presidente", who rules a fictional island country in the Caribbean named Tropico during the Cold War era and beyond.
