Kalypso Media

Kalypso Media is the publisher that really wants you to manage something. Cities, islands, empires, railroads — if it can be simulated, they’re probably behind it. Best known for the Tropico series (a.k.a. “Banana Republic Simulator”) and Railway Empire, Kalypso has a thing for games where power, planning, and a little corruption go a long way.

Their catalog is a strategy lover’s buffet: run a dictatorship with a cigar in your mouth (Tropico), become a train baron (Railway Empire), or sneak your way through the shadows in Commandos and Disciples: Liberation. Most of their games let you play smart… or blow everything up and deal with the mess later.

If you like managing resources, plotting world domination, and clicking on tiny menus for hours while pretending you’re in control — Kalypso’s your crew.
