About this game

Townsfolk – Build. Explore. Survive.

Lead a group of settlers into the unknown and build a thriving colony in an uncharted land filled with mystery and danger. Manage scarce resources, make tough choices, and shape your settlement’s fate. Will your town prosper, or will it fall to the challenges of the frontier?

Forge Your Legacy:

Explore the Unknown – Clear the fog to uncover hidden treasures, lurking dangers, and new opportunities.
Adapt to Challenges – Face unpredictable disasters, wild animals, and difficult moral dilemmas that test your leadership.
Appease the King – The Crown demands tribute—fail to deliver, and your settlement may pay the price.

Skirmish Mode – Standalone scenarios to test your strategy and survival skills.
Puzzle Challenges – Engage in strategic puzzles that push your problem-solving abilities.

Pixel Art Beauty – A handcrafted world brought to life with atmospheric music and detailed visuals.

In all honesty this game is fun, can get challenging,but it's addictive. Old school style gameplay is a winner plus the resource to risk ratio is pretty good. Really hope more stuff can be added to make it fun and for the love of all that is good...please no ads,it's rare to find games that aren't plastered with them, keep up the good work and we hope to see this game grow more for the people to enjoy! 💪

very nice game, easy to pick up and play. price is ok to unlock unlimited play and settings. all that it needs now is either a multiplayer option and/or some race specific buildings...ie: elven tree fortress or dwarven mine, some events and maybe some new building skins to spend gold coins on besides just flag decorations.

It's an actual game, not a mobile microtransaction ad machine. There's an optional one time purchase for an expansion with additional gameplay modes, but the base game provides plenty. A REALLY fun offline single player game with active and approachable developers. It's hard but fun. Turn-based 4x strategy resource manager. Designed for mobile before the Steam version.
