Anyone who plays video games on PC can now get a highly rated game for free until August 29th, as a city-building game Tropico4 is currently available for free on PC game distributor website GOG. It is currently part of the website’s routine giveaways for free games, Tropico4 has an average user rating of 4.2/5, based on reviews from players who have played the game via GOG.

Tropico is a series of city-building and management simulator games in which players take on the role of a political leader of an island nation trying to keep its finances under control, its citizens happy, and its enemies and allies at bay. The series originally appeared in 2001 and has been expanded to include five sequels. The latest entry is Tropico6 which received similarly high ratings.

Tropico4 normally costs $14.99 and is not available for modern consoles, making the ongoing giveaway a great deal for management simulator fans looking to try out the series. However, it will only be available on GOG until August 29th, so fans will need to act fast. While the gameplay was essentially similar to the previous Tropico3, The fourth installment added several new factions for players to interact with, as well as brand new building types and 20 campaign missions to play through.

Tropico 4 is free on GOG for a limited time

Although it is not the newest game in the series, Tropico4 has a lot to offer for fans of management simulation games. Players can make political decisions and enact policies to make the island nation of Tropico a great superpower. GOG also offers a bundle package with all available downloadable content for Tropico4 at half price until September 10th, giving players who get the game for free the chance to expand its features for just $7.49.

The Tropico Series is a major competitor in the management sim genre and competes against big names like Sim City and the popular Two points franchise with a unique twist to keep the series fresh. Aside from the management side of the game, Tropico also has a strong political element, which gives it some similarities with games like Sid Meier’s Civilization, because players also have to maintain relations with other nations.

Players who choose to get the game for free on GOG can also check out the variety of other games available on the site, many of which are currently on sale, including some high-profile releases such as Cyberpunk 2077. A historical PC port of the original was also recently published on the website Resident Evil 2 and its predecessor and offers players numerous options to choose from.
