I played this in the golden age of city builders, but could not manage to advance at all with this version. I'll give it another try, it's probably my fault.

I've played Tropico 4, 5, and 6 before I played this one, so this is mostly coming from the perspective of a modern Tropico player. And as you can see I've only played for a couple hours, so maybe take this with a grain of salt. What I like: + It's Tropico! Despite it's age, the core DNA of the series is very much here. If you love Tropico 4/5/6, you'll love Tropico 1 + Very addicting gameplay loop, for the same reasons I've said in my other Tropico reviews + Just has loads of charm, the isometric pixelated look invokes a lot of nostalgia + Great soundtrack, even compared to the other games in the series + Arguably he most immersive Tropico game I've played, it's easily the most "down to earth" feeling and least detached from reality What I'm mixed/neutral on: ~ Construction takes an ass long time, make sure to invest in construction workers early ~ Building stuff can be finicky, not every building can rotate and it doesn't feel like things line up even when they should What I don't like: - I'll partially forgive it due to it's age, but the UI is rather clunky and unintuitive - Crop conditions can vary wildly in pretty short periods of time, so you have to switch crops or move farms pretty often. Could've been a fun way to spice up difficulty but I just found it annoyingly tedious Overall thoughts: I'm giving this a thumbs up because, at only seven bucks, it's hard not to get your money's worth with it. However, I would not recommend this game to everyone. At it's core, it's still very similar to the later games in the series, and the dated presentation can definitely present some friction. Also, everyone always claims this is the hardest in the series, and I would agree with that, but I don't think the difficulty comes from a particularly meaningful or different place. I found that most of the difficulty I encountered was due to either the slow construction speed, which meant it took longer to get my moneymakers going and to solve citizen issues, or from less transparent information availability. The core systems themselves aren't that much harder to manage on their own terms. But, this is still a very fun game. Like every other game in the series, the core loop is extremely satisfying, and it's easy to get sucked into the world that you create, even with the rudimentary presentation. And if immersion matters to you, if you really want to FEEL like a dictator on a poor latin american island, this satisfies that need very well. Should you go out of your way to play it? Well, if you're already a big fan of older management simulation / strategy games, you'd probably get a lot out of this. If you're a Tropico fan who wants a new experience, this is at least novel to check out. But otherwise? I'd probably encourage you to just get 4 or 6.

I wish they updated the graphics, too. It doesn't need much, just some 4k textures. The gameplay is still fun.
