| 2024-08-17 |  | | Loved this game when it worked on my note 9 snapdragon, but a recent update has made the game unplayable, I get A crash after the splash screen, can't get into the menu or anything, reinstalling the multiple GIGABITE, game will fix but only temporary, trying to play the next day and it just crashes back to my home screen. Tried deleting data/cache, to no avail. This is what I get for buying the DL.C. |
| 2024-03-11 |  | | The game isn't saving correctly. It hasn't been saving my game since March 8th. It says it saved, but when I go back to play. It is the old saved game...again. it's getting frustrating because I love playing this game, but not when hours are lost and have to do it all over again, again, and again. :( please fix. |
| 2024-03-09 |  | | It's a good game I feel but y'all need to look into the save game function. I sat there and had half of my little town built with produce selling and all. pressed to save the game twice to make sure it saved. got on this morning and nothing I did saved. I was saving along the way and that didn't even save. I paid for this game for it to not even save the progress I accomplished. I like the game and wanna continue playing but if the save function isn't fixed gotta get my money back. |
| 2024-02-24 |  | | Very good mobile edition of Tropic overall. There's a ton of different maps, which require you to play a little differently evertime. My only gripe is that some of the controls are a little clunky. For example, not all buildings can snap to roads and roads can't be locked to a direction, so getting your roads and buildings to line up can be a challenge sometimes. |
| 2022-08-20 |  | | Very good mobile execution of a classic PC game, while it lacks some of the additions and scale of the latter releases you do get the full experience of the original Tropico. Controls are the biggest flaw which is to be expected on any PC port but since building and road pathimg was always poor in the full games it translates even worse to a phone screen with touch controls. And the UI is very cluttered. Give us regular buttons for menus that don't take up large portions of the screen please. |
| 2022-06-30 |  | | A great port of the original game on PC. The only issues is the game is a massive drain on the battery and causes overheating. I'm on a Galaxy S10 and the phone can get warm very quickly. It might help if the game has the option to lower the graphics settings so that it puts less strain on devices or perhaps optimize it to balance performance and graphics. |
| 2022-06-09 |  | | Tropico for mobile is an absolute hidden gem in its own right to have and play on the go and I love it. It has nearly every element that you'd expect from the original and newer pc versions of the game and it surprisingly works great even on modern unsupported devices. My only complaints would be that the controls are slightly annoying when building and especially placing roads, doesn't seem to have any ages but it's based on the old games and I'm happy devs have kept it updated! |
| 2021-12-04 |  | | This is simply the best city builder on Android. It's literally a mobile port of 2009's Tropico 3 from PC and that's perfect. The mobile UI by Feral Interactive is great if a bit overwrought. The game its self is 5/5, I just wish it had graphics settings for more powerful devices. Still beautiful for a mobile game. Unlike most city builders, Tropico gives you a structured campaign and dynamic events that shape your playthrough. You have a goal unlike SimCity. |
| 2021-10-31 |  | | Great game... I used to play this on PC years ago and it was always my favorite building game. I was always searching for it on Android over the years when one day there it was finally. So I bought it without hesitation and it does not disappoint. The graphics are amazing, game looks perfect. Controls take a bit to get used to, but they're logical and once you get used to them they're easy. Lots of game modes can he hard or fun and easy. Would recommend. |
| 2021-05-15 |  | | Hey devs, been playing Tropico for a super freaking long time. For the most part, love it. Would've given five stars, but I'm on a on a Galaxy Note 10+, which is not supported apparently, and I have two extreme annoyances I can't overlook. Can't zoom out far enough making it feel claustrophobic. Also, when trying to increase income, I have to select each farm, teamsters office, etc, individually to increase income, even with the "all workers" boxes checked, unchecked, you name it. Great port! |
