Cartel Tycoon details

Cartel Tycoon will enable players to build labs, workshops, farms, research centers, and more to build their empire. However, this will be far from easy as you’ll need to deal with rival cartels, rogue lieutenants, state authorities, and contend with the public perception.

“Find new ways to flip profits on opium and other high-demand products while taking advantage of the completely reworked Enemy Gangs, now allowing for less violent ways to trade, conduct special missions, rent buildings, and attain enemy territories while avoiding… hostile takeovers.”

Cartel Tycoon’s Creative Director Leonid Gorbachov also explained what players can expect when playing the game. “Cartel Tycoon embraces the power fantasy of being a kingpin calling all the shots, explained Leonid.” Test your mettle against Survival Mode, or enjoy a fruitful life of luxury with the new Sandbox Mode. The choice is yours—you’re the boss!”
