"TownsFolk: Retro Roguelike Launches Now 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 stands out from their previous titles. Introducing TownsFolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder that promises a fresh and engaging experience.

Explore, Build, and Survive in TownsFolk

In TownsFolk, you lead a group of settlers into the wilderness with the goal of establishing a thriving colony. The challenge is twofold: not only must you manage the growth and sustainability of your settlement, but you also need to ensure you don't anger the Crown by missing tributes. This game tests both your leadership skills and your ability to adapt to unexpected challenges.

As the leader of the settlers, your role involves juggling critical resources such as food, gold, faith, and production to keep your colony running smoothly. However, your plans can be disrupted by wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas, requiring careful strategic planning. Additionally, the Crown's impatience with tributes adds another layer of urgency; failing to meet these demands could lead to severe consequences for your settlement.

To give you a better sense of what TownsFolk offers, check out the game's reveal trailer below:

It’s Minimal but Fun!

TownsFolk keeps each playthrough exciting with its roguelike campaign, ensuring that you face new challenges every time. The game also offers various modes to cater to different play styles:

The Skirmish Mode allows for quick strategic sessions without committing to a full campaign. It includes clever puzzle challenges, enabling you to customize your gameplay and test your strategies in diverse settings.

On the other hand, the Campaign Mode offers a thrilling journey filled with dynamic missions and challenges. TownsFolk masterfully balances minimalism with strategic depth, ensuring an engaging experience.

The game's retro-style pixelated visuals add a charming touch, a signature of Short Circuit Studios' artistry. If you're a fan of colony-building strategy games, TownsFolk is available for you to explore on the Google Play Store.
