Townsfolk is a retro roguelike strategy where you conquer new lands for the Crown

Author : Dylan Mar 18,2025

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 roguelike strategy game, Townsfolk, launching April 3rd. This departure sees players leading a colonial expedition, tasked by the Crown with ensuring the survival and prosperity of their settlement. Maintaining high levels of Food, Gold, Faith, and Production is paramount to success.

However, this untamed land presents numerous challenges. Wild animals, unpredictable disasters, and difficult moral choices threaten to destabilize your colony. Forgetting to pay your tithes to the Crown is a particularly unwise move.

Townsfolk marks a significant shift for Short Circuit Studios. Trading their previously quaint aesthetic for a darker, more challenging experience, the game's roguelike elements introduce a steeper learning curve and the inevitability of failure. Players will need to adapt and overcome setbacks to succeed.

The game offers diverse gameplay modes: a challenging Roguelite Campaign, a Skirmish Mode for testing skills, and Puzzle Challenges that demand strategic thinking.
