TownsFolk Is a Pixelated Retro Roguelike from the Makers of Teeny Tiny Town, Out Now

After the success of games like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios has now released a unique addition to their portfolio with TownsFolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder.

Explore, Build, and Survive in TownsFolk

In TownsFolk, you take the helm of a group of settlers venturing into the wilderness with the goal of establishing a thriving colony. Not only must you manage resources like food, gold, faith, and production, but you also need to keep the Crown appeased by paying tributes on time. This game challenges your leadership and adaptability as you navigate through wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas that could derail your plans. Fail to satisfy the Crown, and your settlement might face dire consequences.

It’s Minimal but Fun!

TownsFolk offers a fresh experience with every playthrough thanks to its roguelike campaign, which introduces new challenges each time. The game features various modes to cater to different play styles. The Skirmish Mode allows for quick strategic engagements without the commitment of a full campaign, offering puzzle challenges that let you customize and test your strategies across diverse scenarios.

On the other hand, the Campaign Mode takes you on an exhilarating journey filled with dynamic missions and challenges. TownsFolk excels in providing a minimalist yet deep strategic gameplay experience. The game's retro-style pixelated visuals add a charming touch, consistent with the high-quality aesthetic standards set by Short Circuit Studios. If you're a fan of colony-building strategy games, be sure to check out TownsFolk on the Google Play Store.
