After delivering hits like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios has ventured into new territory with their latest release, TownsFolk. This game combines the elements of a roguelike strategy with city-building, offering a fresh and engaging experience.
Explore, Build, and Survive in TownsFolk
In TownsFolk, you take on the role of a leader guiding a group of settlers into the wilderness with the goal of establishing a thriving colony. The challenge lies not only in managing resources like food, gold, faith, and production but also in maintaining a delicate balance with the Crown, which demands regular tributes. Your leadership skills and adaptability are put to the test as you navigate through wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas that can disrupt your plans. Fail to meet the Crown's expectations, and your entire settlement could face severe consequences.

It's Minimal but Fun!
TownsFolk keeps each playthrough exciting 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, featuring 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 journey with dynamic missions and challenges, maintaining a minimalist yet deep strategic experience. The game's retro-style pixelated visuals add a charming touch, 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.
