Tropico 3 in stores and on Impulse
Update: Tropico 3 is apparently not exclusive to Impulse. It is also available on Steam and other digital distribution platforms.
Original Story: Tropico 3, the new strategy game from Kalypso Media is now in stores and available exclusively online at Stardock’s Impulse. Being billed as “the true sequel to the original best-seller,” Tropico 3 lets players take control of a small strategically positioned Caribbean island, dealing with the people, politics, and challenges of running a country for more than 50 years. Playing as the almighty El Presidente players will also have to ward off political opposition while choosing to either lead their country into peace and prosperity, or rule through fear as a tyrannical dictator.
Developed by Haemimont Games, Tropico 3 promises such new features as a powerful new mission editor, an online challenge mode and a new avatar function that allows players to customize their own unique El Presidente. Once created, the new ruler is free to travel the island giving speeches, issuing edicts and exerting other means of influence that can shape the country’s future. The campaign mode features 18 different missions, while a historical timeline editor, new buildings, industries and infrastructure provide players with a wide array of options for hours of replayability.
Tropico 3 is rated T for teen and is currently available at retail stores in North America for $39.99.
