Developed by HandyGames · Published by HandyGames, THQ Nordic Mobile
You rule a small medieval settlement and guide it as it grows. Place homes and town buildings, assign villagers to jobs, and develop the surrounding land into a larger town.
Gather resources and connect workshops into production chains to supply food, clothing, building materials, and goods for trade. Keep residents housed, fed, and entertained: their happiness affects the taxes available to fund further construction.
Seasonal changes shift demand for goods, while disasters and bandit attacks can disrupt town life. Play across scenario maps with specific objectives or build freely in endless mode; actions earn experience that unlocks research upgrades.
Players who enjoy the game often describe it as a relaxing, approachable town builder, with satisfaction in steadily developing a settlement and watching its residents go about their routines. Nostalgia for earlier versions is a recurring part of the appeal. Some players, however, find the systems simple or repetitive, and opinions differ on the PC experience.
Welcome, your Highness! A vast land awaits your settlers and is ready to be colonized. Send your architects and builders to plan and construct a city. But also send your craftsmen to cut some wood and to mine ore. Make sure your fields are fertile to feed your hungry subjects! Townsmen – A Kingdom Rebuilt hands the crown to you: Guide your people from their first steps in a small village to a massive medieval metropolis with thousands of inhabitants.
Overcome the challenges that lie ahead. Your citizens have various needs in order to stay happy. And you have to keep them happy, to keep the tax coins rolling, which you need to build even more. Beware, as there are many things in the world that will disturb happiness: Seasons will change the demand for certain goods – more water is needed during summer, more clothes in winter. Catastrophes may hit your prospering city, the plague, a large fire, or an avalanche won’t make anyone happy, nor will a bandit attack!
A huge variety of houses to build and many different jobs for your subjects will keep you busy. The armory will produce weapons for your soldiers to keep your citizens safe from bandits. The bakery or the butcher’s workshop will provide food, the monastery, the juice manufacturer, and the vineyard will bring the drinks, and everything can be bought at the marketplace! Make sure to keep an eye on your people's daily routines – besides jobs & food, they also need a place for recreation, like a park, houses to live in, and entertainment at the jousting grounds or the tavern!
Each of your deeds is meaningful: if you order your folks to build a house, or send them to a new job, you will be rewarded with experience points. This progression system will allow you to research techniques that, for example, increase the amount of taxes you get or make your watchtowers more efficient. In every map you play!
