10 Evil Video Games That Let You Be A True Tyrant!

10. Tropico 6

If you fancy enforcing a totalitarian "government" on a local population, but don't really want it to be all too dark, why not give Tropico a go?

Casting you as "El Presidente", the Tropico series sees the player take charge as head honcho in a lighthearted take on semi-democracy. You oversee your own personal version of Tropico, a fictional little slice of the Caribbean. A management game through and through, gameplay will see you organising practically every aspect of government through four major periods of history: the colonial, world war, cold war and modern eras.

Like previous games, your prime goal is to expand and develop your civilisation, but now you're doing this across a small archipelago, rather than one single island. More complicated cities will bring more complex social problems, so you'll be balancing political groups' desires against the wants of your people. Gain enough favour, and you'll eventually declare independence and become the one true leader of your island paradise. Whether your society takes the form of a utopian paradise where everyone has equal access to any necessity or a needlessly brutal military dictatorship is up to you.
