After delivering hits like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios has launched a unique game this time: TownsFolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder that promises a fresh take on the genre.
Explore, Build, and Survive in TownsFolk
In TownsFolk, you take the helm as the leader of a group of settlers venturing into the wilderness to establish a thriving colony. Your mission is twofold: to build a prosperous settlement and to ensure the Crown remains appeased by meeting tribute demands. This game challenges your leadership skills and your ability to adapt to unexpected situations.
As the overseer of your settlers, you'll need to manage essential resources such as food, gold, faith, and production to keep your colony running smoothly. However, your journey won't be without obstacles. You'll encounter wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas that can disrupt your plans. Moreover, the Crown's patience is limited, and failing to pay tributes could lead to severe consequences for your settlement.
To get a better sense of what TownsFolk offers, take a look at the game's reveal trailer below.
It’s Minimal but Fun!
TownsFolk keeps each playthrough engaging with its roguelike campaign, ensuring you face new challenges every time. The game offers various modes to cater to different play styles.
The Skirmish Mode allows for quick strategic sessions without the commitment of a full campaign. It includes clever puzzle challenges that let you customize your gameplay and test your strategies in diverse settings.
On the other hand, the Campaign Mode offers a more immersive experience with dynamic missions and challenges. TownsFolk strikes a balance between minimalist strategy and deep gameplay, ensuring you're always engaged.
The game's retro-style pixelated visuals add to its charm, a testament to Short Circuit Studios' consistent excellence in this area. If you're a fan of colony-building strategy games, you can find TownsFolk on the Google Play Store.
