Retro Roguelike Strategy Game: Townsfolk Conquers New Lands

Author : Sophia Mar 13,2025

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 release, Townsfolk. This roguelike strategy city-builder, launching April 3rd, marks a significant departure from their previous, more whimsical style.

In Townsfolk, you lead a colonial expedition tasked by the Crown with establishing a thriving settlement. Success hinges on maintaining a balance of Food, Gold, Faith, and Production, all while keeping your populace content and expanding your colony's resources. However, the untamed wilderness presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices will test your leadership skills. And don't forget to pay your tithes to the Crown—failure to do so will have consequences.

Townsfolk represents a bold new direction for Short Circuit Studios. The game boasts a darker aesthetic and a more challenging gameplay experience than their previous releases. Its roguelike elements mean players will need to learn from their mistakes and adapt to overcome setbacks.

Multiple game modes cater to different preferences: a Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing skills, and Puzzle Challenges offering intricate strategic puzzles.
