One of the best city-builders in years, Tropico 6 is also the best entry in that long running series in years. If you missed it, the game launched for consoles and PC last year, and offered an incredibly deep yet easy to play city-building experience.

Actually, that’s putting it mildly. Trop6 allowed gamers to control pretty much everything from importing and exporting to the politics of your tropical mini-nation. We reviewed it on the PC, and tagged it with a 92%. You can check out our thoughts here.

As for today’s announcement though, well it’s most welcome for those who like their tropical dictatorships to be mobile. The game is coming to Switch, and sounds like it’s set to offer everything that other platforms’ versions stocked.
