Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[b]Tropico 4 is definitely worth your time, even in 2025.[/b] It's a solid city builder on its own, with charming aesthetics (both music and visuals), nice sense of humor and addictive gameplay. However, it fails miserably when it comes to actually playing as a Caribbean dictator. There's no real incentive to be the "bad guy" — it's too expensive and doesn't offer much benefit unless the game artificially forces you into it. It's almost always simpler and cheaper to just build a strong economy rather than bother with election fraud, propaganda, police states, army, nuclear program etc. After 100+ hours of playtime, I found myself never using about 2/3 of the edicts and ~half of available buildings. And without that gameplay lacks depth, as the same formula - "build industry > build amenities to maintain happiness > repeat" - always wins
Absolut unbalanced garbage. You wait forever for specific job posts to be filled, even if you build schools and the immigration office. If you do the mistake to pay for specialists from abroad to fill open job posts, they will 100% leave the job posts within the next 1 to 2 years and you will have lost the money you paid to hire them. Another kicker are the tsunamis and earthquakes, which OF COURSE will hit your most important buildings like power stations or your most profitable tourist income building of the scenario. Gimme a break! Spend your hard-earned money on more balanced and refined games, this one is broken and not playable.
Foi nesse Tropico que eu conheci a franquia. É um excelente jogo de gerenciamento, construção de cidades e simulação de como ser um ditador. A jogabilidade é muito boa e tudo é muito intuitivo. A campanha é bem tranquila e muito engraçada, só é extensa (20 fases). Uma coisa que deixa o jogo repetitivo (que no Tropico 5 foi corrigido) é sempre ter que começar a sua ilha do zero no modo campanha. O começo é sempre o mesmo, sempre monótono. Além disso, de ponto negativo, também temos a ausência de tradução PT-BR (apesar de ser aceitável, é um jogo de 2011). Joguei a DLC Modern Times e também é muito boa, a campanha é massa assim como no jogo principal. Adiciona novas construções muito úteis que tornam o jogo mais fácil. Os acontecimentos históricos a cada ano também trazem um dinamismo pras missões. Enfim, recomendo muito o jogo pra quem gosta desse gênero de jogos.
Great game to pass time.
Tropico is a funny game that is one of a kind with it's sense of humor. While it is a city builder, it really doesn't take itself that seriously and any shortcoming and pitfalls can be chalked up to the lore and setting of the game. I really enjoy this game.
A junção de elementos de city builder muito bem construídos com um contexto político permeado de bom humor tornou a franquia única. E de todos os Tropicos lançados até hoje, este foi o que melhor captou o que tornou esta série tão viciante e divertida. Inclusive, para quem nunca teve contato com o Tropico, recomendo jogar este clássico antes de mergulhar no Tropico 6.
My favorite of the Tropico games. Like the others in the series, you are a dictator building up, and running your Caribbean island while juggling its factions. The campaign's writing's great, and has a great sense of humor, though some of the pop culture references are a bit outdated at this point.
