After a few months in development hell, Tropico 6 is finally available for Mac.

Tropico 6 is a dictatorship simulation where you get to be either a feared dictator or peace-loving statesman as you shape the fate of your very own banana republic. Think SimCity, but in a tropical island.

First released for Windows in March 2019, Tropico 6 faced some last-minute issues on MacOS. For this reason, the game was delayed for several months. Limbic Entertainment, the new team in charge, finally resolved them and officially released Tropico 6 for Mac on June 28, 2019.

As always, each new Tropico entry comes with a laundry list of new features, but the main highlight is the ability to play on large archipelagos for the first time ever. You’ll be able to build bridges to connect your islands and use new means of transportation and infrastructure.

But the team over at Limbic – best know for the Might & Magic Heroes series – had even bigger plans: They decided to scrap the old engine in favor of Unreal Engine 4. Because of it, “everything is simulated,” according to narrative and cinematic designer Johannes Pfeifer.

Will this be enough to place Tropico 6 among the finest simulations on Mac
