Short Circuit Studios, known for charming titles like Teeny Tiny Trains, Teeny Tiny Town, and Tiny Connections, is venturing into darker territory with their upcoming roguelike strategy game, Townsfolk. Launching April 3rd, Townsfolk offers a grim, retro aesthetic and challenging gameplay.
Players lead a colonial expedition, tasked with ensuring the survival and prosperity of their settlement. Managing resources – Food, Gold, Faith, and Production – is crucial, but the untamed wilderness presents obstacles. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and moral dilemmas threaten stability, and neglecting tithes to the Crown has dire consequences.
A Hexcrawl Adventure
Townsfolk represents a significant departure for the studio. Its darker tone and steeper difficulty curve, characteristic of the roguelike genre, demand strategic prowess and resilience in the face of repeated failures.
The game features multiple modes: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing skills, and Puzzle Challenges offering complex scenarios. For players seeking similar strategic challenges, comprehensive lists of top strategy games for iOS and Android are readily available.
