An Offer You Can't Refuse
Cartel Tycoon is an unusual twist on the tycoon genre set in the drug wars of the 1980s. The player plays as a drug smuggling gang in a fictional Latin American country, trying to become the dominant criminal power in the region while avoiding death at the hands of the police, other gangs, or their own lieutenants. Some jank notwithstanding, this is an oddball gem that I strongly recommend. On the positive side, the core gameplay, which revolves around the logistics of growing, processing, and transporting illegal drugs, is simple, but fun and addictive. Negotiating with politicians and other gangs is tricky but rewarding, and you really feel like you're always dealing with an individual with their own unique quirks and needs, rather than just a set of stats and a picture. At first it can be tricky to learn to balance legal and illegal businesses in order to avoid heat from the police and calls for a crackdown from citizens, but once the basics are figured out it becomes fun to try to walk the balance as best as possible. The graphics are excellent for an indie title, especially the hand drawn character portraits, and the extensive original soundtrack of contemporary Latin music is also of high quality. In the more negative side, the game does occasionally suffer from some strange issues, such as text that seems as if it was badly translated into English from another language. Also, combat in the game is very simplistic and kind of boring, with the player not really having any direct control over it and usually boiling down to a matter of which side has a larger gang. In conclusion, Cartel Tycoon is a unique twist on the tycoon game genre, one that was clearly made with heart and genuine enthusiasm. Recommended to anyone who enjoys tycoon games, strategy games in general, or who has an interest in crime games.
