After delivering hits like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios has now launched a unique game titled TownsFolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder. This game offers a fresh twist on the studio's signature style, combining exploration, building, and survival elements.
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 is not only to manage resources like food, gold, faith, and production but also to ensure the Crown remains appeased with regular tributes. This game tests your leadership and adaptability as you navigate through wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas that could disrupt your plans. Fail to meet the Crown's expectations, and your settlement might face severe consequences.

It’s Minimal but Fun!
TownsFolk keeps each playthrough engaging with its roguelike campaign, constantly presenting new challenges. The game offers various modes to cater to different play styles. Skirmish Mode allows for quick strategic sessions without the commitment of a full run, and includes puzzle challenges that let you customize your gameplay and test strategies in diverse settings.
On the other hand, Campaign Mode offers a more immersive experience with dynamic missions and challenges, ensuring a thrilling journey. TownsFolk strikes a perfect balance between minimalist strategy and depth, enhanced by its charming retro-style pixelated visuals, a hallmark of Short Circuit Studios' craftsmanship. If you're a fan of colony-building strategy games, you can find TownsFolk on the Google Play Store.
