After delivering hits like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios has launched a unique game this time. Introducing TownsFolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder that promises a fresh and engaging experience.

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: build a successful community while ensuring you don't incur the wrath of the Crown by missing tribute payments. This game challenges your leadership skills and your adaptability in the face of unexpected events.

As the overseer of your settlers, you'll need to manage essential resources such as food, gold, faith, and production to keep your colony flourishing. However, your path won't be easy. You'll encounter wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas that could derail your plans. Furthermore, the Crown's patience is limited, and failing to meet their tribute demands could have dire consequences for your settlement.

It’s Minimal but Fun!

TownsFolk keeps each playthrough exciting with its roguelike campaign, throwing new challenges at you every time. The game also offers various modes to cater to different play styles.

The Skirmish Mode allows for quick strategic sessions without committing to a full campaign. It also includes clever puzzle challenges, offering you the chance to customize your gameplay and test your strategies across diverse scenarios.

For a more immersive experience, the Campaign Mode presents a thrilling journey filled with dynamic missions and challenges. TownsFolk masterfully combines minimalist strategy with deep gameplay mechanics.

As showcased in the trailer, the game features charming retro-style pixelated visuals, a hallmark of Short Circuit Studios' design prowess. If you're a fan of colony-building strategy games, you can find TownsFolk on the Google Play Store.
