Based on the acclaimed series originally published by Kalypso Media, Tropico for iPad has been redesigned and developed for mobile by Feral, and will be a premium game with no in-app purchases.
Fully tailored to and optimized for tablet, Tropico features intuitive touch controls and an easy-to-navigate user interface that make it smooth and simple for players to lead this small but proud island nation into a glorious future, one tap at a time.

Tropico will support fifth generation and sixth generation iPads, and all generations of Apple's iPad Pro models. The game requires iOS 12 and just under 3GB to install. Tropico costs $11.99 and is available to pre-order now from the App Store [Direct Link].

Overpriced
Actually that’s cheap - look how much people spend on IAP since most so called free games are unplayable without paying real Money for virtual goods - and you have keep buying stuff to keep play.

I am no longer downloading those since those are overpriced.

There are no good free games and I’m happy to pay this small amount and enjoy a game without ads or artificial slowdowns that are only there to suck mu money
 
I’ll probably pick this up. I like city building games and I’d rather support a company that releases a full game for a set price instead of going the route of pay to win/in-app purchases.

Awesome! We need tons more full feature games on iPad. The mobile stuff is just not interesting to me.
 
Regarding the price point, the full game is available for PC at GOG.com for under $5, often on sale for under $2. Is the value-added for the iOS port worth the premium?
