Short Circuit Studio has just rolled out a thrilling new update for their recently launched settlement builder, TownsFolk. Dubbed "Shadows and Fortune," this update introduces a darker tone to the game's charming pixel-art world, bringing fresh mechanics and depth to the gameplay.
Even though TownsFolk is newly launched, the developers aren't holding back on enriching the experience. The "Shadows and Fortune" update brings a host of new elements to the game, including roaming Barbarians that will ramp up the tension in your campaign missions and Skirmish mode. Keep an eye out for these new adversaries as they wander the landscape, adding a strategic layer to your town management.
Eight new structures have also been added to diversify your town-building options. From the mystical Altar and bustling Town Square to the industrious Blacksmith, the water-carrying Aqueduct, wealth-storing Bank, food-preserving Granary, production-boosting Factory, and the landscape-altering Terraformer, these additions will change how you approach your settlement's development.
Water tiles are getting an exciting update as well, with the rare Whale now making appearances. This new addition adds a touch of wonder to your aquatic explorations. Additionally, Special Locations such as ancient Obelisks and new Shipwrecks introduce more unpredictability and mystery to your journeys.
To help you navigate through all these new features, the game now includes a handy Compendium, serving as an in-game encyclopedia. The Exploration System has been revamped, and you can now adjust Campaign Difficulties between Frontier and Survival modes to suit your preferred level of challenge.
