Discounted titles (up to 80% off) include nostalgic classics such as M.U.D. TV, Imperium Romanum and Patrician IV as well as Kalypso’s latest releases Spacebase Startopia, Port Royale 4 and Tropico 6.

With steady growth since its inception in 2006, Kalypso Media has gone from strength to strength – even after a bank employee, when asked for a start-up loan, stated: "there's no economic future in computer games”. This has long been a source of many smiles and in the last 15 years, clearly disproven.

With more than 150 employees at 10 locations throughout 5 countries (Germany, UK, USA, Japan and France), a healthy turnover and a bevy of successful series such as Tropico, Dungeons, Railway Empire and Patrician, Kalypso Media has made a name for itself as a strategy and simulation specialist in the international games industry.

Dr. Anika Thun, International Marketing Director explains: "it's not just the numbers and growth that make for success. At Kalypso, colleagues of different genders, orientations and ethnicities work together in the spirit of trust. Female empowerment and inclusion, with women and team members from different backgrounds in senior positions, have been a staple at Kalypso for 15 years and we continue to live and implement these tenets."

"I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved alongside our employees. Despite many obstacles and setbacks, we have all worked together with enthusiasm and a willingness to build a very healthy company that has developed massively in terms of revenue, employee growth and company value, especially over the last 5 years," adds founder and CEO Simon Hellwig.
