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 plans will be tested by wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas. Strategic decision-making is crucial, especially when it comes to satisfying the Crown's tribute requirements—failure to do so could lead to severe consequences for your settlement.

It’s Minimal but Fun!
TownsFolk keeps each playthrough exciting with its roguelike campaign, constantly presenting new challenges. 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, featuring 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 thrilling journey filled with dynamic missions and challenges. TownsFolk excels in delivering a minimalist strategy experience without compromising on depth.
As showcased in the trailer, the game's retro-style pixelated visuals are undeniably charming, 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.
