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 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 with the goal of establishing a thriving colony. Your leadership skills are put to the test as you manage resources like food, gold, faith, and production to keep your settlement flourishing. However, it's not just about building; you must also navigate the tricky waters of pleasing the Crown by ensuring timely tribute payments. Fail to do so, and your entire settlement might face dire consequences.

Your journey will be fraught with challenges including wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas that require careful strategic planning. TownsFolk isn't just a test of your building skills but also your adaptability and resilience in the face of unforeseen events.

It's Minimal but Fun!

TownsFolk keeps each playthrough exciting with its roguelike campaign, throwing new challenges at you every time. The game offers various modes to cater to different play styles. The Skirmish Mode allows for quick strategic engagements without the commitment of a full run, featuring clever puzzles that let you customize your gameplay and test your strategies in diverse settings.

On the other hand, the Campaign Mode offers a thrilling journey with dynamic missions and challenges, ensuring a deep yet minimalist strategic experience. The game's retro-style pixelated visuals add a charming touch, a signature of Short Circuit Studios. If you're a fan of colony-building strategy games, you can find TownsFolk on the Google Play Store.
