The folks at Short Circuit Studios have carved out a niche with their charming and whimsical games like Teeny Tiny Trains, Teeny Tiny Town, and Tiny Connections. However, they're set to surprise us with a darker turn in their upcoming release, Townsfolk, a roguelike strategy city-builder slated for release on April 3rd.
In Townsfolk, you step into the shoes of a leader tasked with colonizing new lands under the Crown's directive. Your mission is to ensure the survival and prosperity of your people by managing essential resources like Food, Gold, Faith, and Production, keeping them all in the green.
But it's not all smooth sailing in these untamed territories. You'll face wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and tough moral choices. And don't forget the Crown's tithes—neglecting them could spell disaster for your colony.
Hexcrawl Townsfolk marks a significant shift from Short Circuit Studios' usual fare. Where they once focused on quaint and twee, they're now exploring darker themes and a steeper difficulty curve. As a roguelike, Townsfolk challenges you to embrace failure and learn from it.
The game offers a variety of modes to test your skills, including the Roguelite Campaign, Skirmish Mode for diverse challenges, and Puzzle Challenges that will push your problem-solving abilities to the limit.
