Mobile city builder Townsmen from developer Handy Games is coming to Steam on Nov. 30, bringing its whimsical interpretation of Anno- and Settler -style strategy to PC.
The game’s features include:
City-building gameplay set in medieval times
Cute inhabitants with their own daily routines
Complex economy sim with deep production chains
Dozens of different town and production buildings
Optional military features with soldiers and bandits
Diverse scenarios and challenging tasks
Unrestricted sandbox gameplay mode
Steam Achievements & Trading Cards
HD graphics and sound
Players can focus on building their empire peacefully or enable bandits and add a new dimension to their strategies by building guard barracks and towers for their soldiers. Townsmen on PC also offers 18 different scenarios for those who would like a bit more direction in their gameplay. These include options such as “building up a giant fleet of ships, construct[ing] the world’s biggest Cathedral or mak[ing] preparations for the Grand Royal Wedding,” according to a press release.
While a mobile game ported over to PC may not have the type of depth or difficulty we might expect from games like Anno or Banished , the game’s popularity on phones and tablets indicate there may be more than meets the eye.
Townsmen retails at $11.99, but will be available at a 17% launch week discount for $9.99. You can check out the game’s Steam page here. Mobile versions of the game are available on Windows Phone here, on iOS here, on Android here and via Amazon here.
