After delivering hits like Teeny Tiny Town, Teeny Tiny Trains, Luminosus, and Tiny Connections, Short Circuit Studios is back with a new offering. This time, it’s TownsFolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder that promises an engaging blend of exploration, construction, and survival.

Explore, Build and Survive in TownsFolk

Step into the shoes of a leader guiding a group of settlers into uncharted wilderness. Your mission? To build a thriving colony while keeping the demanding Crown happy by delivering timely tributes. TownsFolk challenges both your leadership skills and your adaptability, testing how well you can navigate unexpected obstacles and make tough decisions.

As the overseer of your settlers, you must manage essential resources such as food, gold, faith, and production to ensure the colony thrives. However, wild animals, natural disasters, and moral dilemmas will constantly throw curveballs your way. Neglecting your duties—or worse, failing to meet the Crown’s demands—could jeopardize your entire settlement.

It’s Minimalist but Fun!

TownsFolk keeps every playthrough fresh with its roguelike campaign structure, ensuring you’re always faced with new challenges. In addition to the main campaign, the game features several modes designed to cater to different playstyles.

The Skirmish Mode offers bite-sized strategic sessions where you can dive into quick, tactical challenges. It’s perfect for testing your strategies in diverse scenarios without committing to a full-length run. Plus, clever puzzles within this mode let you fine-tune your approach.

Meanwhile, the Campaign Mode delivers a more immersive experience with dynamic missions and evolving challenges. Despite its minimalist aesthetic, TownsFolk manages to deliver depth and complexity that seasoned strategists will appreciate.

Visually, the game leans into retro-pixel art, giving it a nostalgic charm that fans of Short Circuit Studios’ previous works will adore.
