Tropico 4 Demo

[Aug 09, 2011, 10:23 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A playable demo is now available for Tropico 4, offering the chance to put on the olive drab of El Presidente for the upcoming fourth installment in the island dictator simulation series. The full game is expected at the end of this month, and the demo is available on AtomicGamer, ComputerGames.ro, Gamer's Hell, Strategy Informer, and Worthplaying. Word is: "The demo includes four tutorial missions and one campaign mission, which will set players on a quest to become the ultimate leader of a Caribbean island empire."

There is quite a bit of new stuff, but much of it isn't available in the demo. Biggest thing is probably the random map generator, which would give it a lot more replayability than the limited number of sandbox maps they gave you before. While the new content would be better received as an expansion pack for around $20 (it's definitely a lot more new stuff than Absolute Power added), that would require you buy Tropico 3 anyway. So instead, they decided to release it as a standalone game that makes the previous one obsolete. Not as appealing to fans of the series, but actually a really good deal for newcomers. Especially if you pre-order and get Tropico Reloaded for free.
