Looks like Tropico fans in North America will have to wait a bit longer for their game, as there were some manufacturing issues:

Kalypso Media has today confirmed that due to a delay in the packaging manufacturing, the North American retail release of the highly anticipated Tropico 5 on PC will now ship to stores nationwide on June 17. Fans and consumers who pre-ordered Tropico 5 for retail will be glad to know that the teams are working hard to solve the manufacturing issue and that they will receive the complete Tropico 5 retail package on this date.

Versions for Xbox 360 and Mac will be available this summer – with a version for the PlayStation 4 platform following in the fall.

Kalypso Media would like to take this opportunity to apologize to consumers for the delay and hope that this will not dampen their Tropico 5 experience.

Super Time Force caught my and the media’s attention when it was announced about years ago around after its initial debut as a project for an indie game jam. Thankfully after a long time, the game is finally out, after being heavily re-worked. And the wait was worth it.

The game’s plot for as brief as it can be, is silly. After Dr. Repeatski finally discovers how to make Time Travel possible, he is visited by his future self, and showboating the time travel he created and is using to alter time lines to “fix things so they aren’t bad” and making fun of him a bit. This certainly won’t cause problems. Anyway, the now Colonel Repeatski accomplish these time-altering adventures with the help of his team of government sponsored military fighting force. You start off with three members but can gain more as you get through the various missions.
