"TownsFolk: Pixelated Retro Roguelike Launched by Teeny Tiny Town Creators"

After delivering hits like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios has launched a new game that breaks from their usual style: TownsFolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder.

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 must manage resources such as food, gold, faith, and production to keep your community flourishing. However, it's not just about building; you must also navigate challenges like wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas that threaten your plans. Additionally, you'll need to appease the Crown by paying tributes on time, or risk facing severe consequences for your settlement.

To give you a better sense of the game, check out the reveal trailer below:

It’s Minimal but Fun!

TownsFolk ensures that every playthrough is fresh and exciting. Thanks to its roguelike campaign, you're continually faced with new challenges. The game offers various modes to keep the experience diverse.

The Skirmish Mode allows for quick strategic engagements without committing to a full run. It also includes clever puzzle challenges, enabling you to customize your gameplay and test your strategies across different scenarios.

For a more immersive experience, the Campaign Mode offers a thrilling journey filled with dynamic missions and challenges. TownsFolk strikes a perfect balance between minimalist strategy and in-depth gameplay.

As seen in the trailer, the game's retro-style pixelated visuals are undeniably charming—a testament to Short Circuit Studios' consistent excellence in visual design. If you're a fan of colony-building strategy games, you can find TownsFolk on the Google Play Store.
