Townsmen - A Kingdom Rebuilt

I can play the latest high quality doom games, overwatch 2, bunch of space shooters... but this game taxes my GPU as though it was bitmining for russia and role playing as an old beaten mule at the same time. And there's ZERO configurations to alter the graphics. Take all that into account, and then realize, the graphics are worse than the clash of clan graphics from 15 years ago. This feels like Apple/Mac developers made this game, its so bad.

The tutorials are incompetently built, they CONSTANTLY reset your map and have you start again, despite having advanced something in the previous step, so you have to rebuild your housing to up your income again and again, or rebuild some other thing you were using to ease the game. The rewind is very frusterating and not thought out.

Ten hours of tutorials, and it erases your progress a dozen times, so you have to remake every stitch of progress every new tutorial, complaining about the lack of food every time, the lack of some other menial service you've already fixed in every other previous tutorial... ffs.

it's more a 6/10 star rating, but I wouldn't recommend this over many other titles out there.

Pros: Very fun city builder with interesting concepts and tiers

Cons: Horrible UI and Flow. For Example in the Tutorial it tells you that you need certain buildings only to find out you can't build them until later in the tutorial because it's blocked. They also have all the DLC buildings mixed in with the non-DLC content, but for many items you won't know what you can or cannot build until you click into it. I understand wanting people to get the DLC, but navigating and clicking on all different buildings until you find one you CAN build is fairly annoying.

Overall: There are just better options out there that I'd recommend to others. If this is an indie game, I give you a lot of praise and would just say to make sure you refine things that ruin the experience and I would have at least said for people to give it a chance.

🎮 Difficulty Curve:
Relaxing, simple, yet still challenging enough to keep you engaged. Learning the game takes a bit of time—some info isn’t provided upfront, so expect to fail forward a little at first.

🌿 Gameplay & Progression:
A cozy city-builder that brings back the nostalgic vibes of Settlers 2. It’s not a game with deep late-game progression, but it shines in starting fresh on new maps with different goals.

💰 Gold, Gold, and More Gold:
Hope you like saving money—because buildings are expensive and gold generation takes time. You’ll always be waiting for that next upgrade.

🏛 What Makes It Unique?
Not much, to be honest—Settlers has led this genre for years. But simplicity is the strength of this game—it’s not overly complicated or stressful, making it a great choice for relaxing and unwinding.

🕹 Controls & UX:
Mostly smooth, but could use better tutorials. A few mechanics aren’t explained well at the start, which can lead to a bit of trial and error.

🔄 Replayability:
No real late-game progression, but starting fresh on a new map with new challenges keeps things interesting.

⚡ Looking for Fast-Paced Action?
If you prefer faster games with more action and deeper content, this isn’t for you. There are better alternatives in the genre, like Settlers, Anno and Northgard.

💰 Worth the money?
Full price? No way. But on sale? Absolutely worth grabbing.

⚠️ Final Note:
Would love to see this game updated with more content… but let’s be real, that’s just a dream.

👍 Final Verdict: Yes, but with caveats! – 7/10

More like an iPhone game or free facebook game.

Dont waste your money

Overall it's more of a neutral recommendation. When I first got the game years ago, I got about half way through and found it a lot of fun. Picking it back up recently, I unfortunately found the UI clunkier and hard to keep my interest. I am assuming that is mostly due to improved game changes in other developers over the past 5 years. It's a cute city builder, with a relatively simple tutorial to follow. Get it on sale if you like this kind of game.

Been playing this game for years! I would say 6 years on the mobile version.

Nah. It is too mobile-like. If they only redesigned it to make it a desktop title, it would be different.

nope

A classic!

aşırı basit bir oyun, biraz daha karmaşık ve zor olmalıydı. ilk okul ve ortaokul öğrencilerinin oynayıp zevk alabileceği bir oyun en fazla.

This is not a straight thumbs down review. It is more of a meh review.

In of itself, there really isn't anything wrong with the game, so much as the game play is pretty monotonous after a bit. I didn't make it all the way through the tutorial games before I began to lose interest in it. The tasks were pretty straight forward, but having such limited control over resource collection really caused things to bog down. Production often ground to a halt while I waited for a carrier to bring stuff from the warehouse which caused the next in the supply chain to stop producing and so on. On top of that, everything just moved too slow. Yes, there is a fast forward option, but end up spending all your time speeding up and slowing down instead of focusing on play. For me, not really practical. as the population grows you have a mass of moving people with looks chaotic and doesn't really give you a sense of a well oiled population doing what they need to do to have a thriving community.

This game just didn't make the grade for me. Perhaps, if you like low speed, minimal control of what happens, games, this could very well be just what you never knew you needed. But as for me, I doubt that I'll be back to play more of it.

Good game

Love this game got it on my phone too, wish there were more bulidings to place tho more choices, but really fun to play :)

The best game and the most relaxing game of my life. I thank the creators of the game for their creativity and beautiful story.

太贵了，而且没有后续更新，有点失望

nostalgic game <3

It is cute and definitely challenging at least for me :)

Good

I wanna love this game but it's just frustrating to play.

1. You feel rushed to build everything because even at the early season of the game, you already get bandits raiding and you don't even have your military base set up. Bandit raids and diseases should be triggered on the third year so the player has time to build a sustainable kingdom with food and equipment. Also, the fact that you get multiple raids from bandits in one season alone is crazy.
2. Townies should move faster when building or do tasks early game. Again, it takes at least two seasons for townies to finish base that produce needs for the kingdom. It even takes longer since raids and diseases occur way too early in the game.

You either have to keep restarting your kingdom to level up research so you have a slight advantage when starting a game. But who has time for that?

A very christian game

The tutorial is so slow - it won't unlock the necessary buildings for at least 2/3 minutes after telling you what you need to build! Dialogue is just as slow and painful. You can fast forward the game day but not pause at all. I've had this for a while and I tried it again today and still don't like it.
