As well as the main campaign missions to work through, you can also play in Sandbox mode. There’s a tonne of content to get through in Tropico 6.
It doesn’t make the game unplayable, but it is less than optimal.
Handheld is always my preferred method of playing on the Switch and the fact that performance does take a hit in this mode is worth noting. This is slightly worse in handheld than in docked mode. For the most part, the game runs smoothly, however when moving between the different islands that make up the archipelago there can be noticeable frame rate slow down. Visuals aside, there are some other issues with this Switch port. Zoomed out though, and the archipelago that makes up Tropico 6 is quite pretty with some nice early morning and sunset light work casting pretty hues across your city. Animations of individuals also seem a bit haphazard with citizens clipping through the floor at certain points in the world. In handheld, the textures are low resolution, and in docked mode, it looks worse as the larger screen means that you can see the jagged textures on buildings. It is a shame then that when zoomed in the world looks so ugly. Part of the joy in simulation games like this is the ability to zoom in and watch individuals at work. Then waiting and watching while I try to figure out why things aren’t moving as quickly as I thought they would. Watching the citizens diligently moving from their homes to endlessly build and toil for me. I have spent a lot of time watching and waiting for things to happen in Tropico 6. There is also some very limited touch screen implementation utilised, but in all honesty, it didn’t seem to be working all that consistently, and after a while, I forgot it was even a thing. This too works well, although due to the sheer amount of systems and possibilities available to tinker with in Tropico, it can feel like you are getting a little lost in menus within menus. Most of the systems are contained within a radial menu that can be accessed via the ZL button. The camera is controlled by the two sticks, which does feel a bit fiddly at times, particularly when placing buildings, but gradually over time, I got used to it. These tutorials do a decent job of taking players through a lot of the core mechanics, however, there were still areas during my time with the main missions where things just didn’t seem to be working in the way that I had expected.Ĭity builders are a notoriously difficult genre to port to consoles, however for the most part the controls work very well on Switch. Fortunately, for newer players, there is an extensive set of tutorials to take new and returning players through. The systems at work in Tropico are surprisingly deep, and having limited experience with the series, I did have some issues understanding at times why certain processes weren’t working as quickly or efficiently as I would have liked.
