One of the Best

One of the best mobile games I have ever played. It feels like a full game - and just simple enough to learn but complex enough to want to master. Very fun - a great time sink. Better than doom scrolling! Play this instead.

Great game, but a bit disappointed

Played this game a ton before some of the most recent updates, was pretty disappointed to see that some of the new content is now behind a second paywall after already purchasing the game. Should I expect that if more things are added that I would need to pay for that as well? Again great game, I really enjoy it and had been looking forward to the updates.

Tutorial

I havnt completed the tutorial but it seems really fun and reminds me a lot of settlers of catan.

Great but confused

Just paid for the game and mind you I never pay for games. This one is challenging but as soon as I paid I notice there were additional section locked to pay for. Paying for the game should unlock it all. I feel kind of swindled. Please unlock for game buyers and make different purchase structure or make it more clear expansions are not included. Thanks. Still a great game. Will keep playing.

Just the best

Best game ever childhood

Addictive

This game is addictive and has provided me many many hours of entertainment. My one suggestion would be more visual options. When your map starts getting really big, things can slow lag, battery use skyrockets, and the phone gets hot. If weather, lighting effects and map animations could be turned off, maybe that would help.

Fun

Never gets boring.

CIV-light

I’m thoroughly enjoying this game. I LOVE Civilization games and this itches my brain just enough without getting too deep in a round of gameplay. One big feature that’s super helpful is the compendium. I wish other games had this as it’s too much sometimes to remember agency bonuses for specific buildings, especially once you buy the full game and unlock the different cultures. Keep up the good work devs!!

Fun, needs balancing

Game is very fun, but it needs balancing. Also more options for custom games would be great, mainly barbarian spawn settings(low, high, etc.) also being able to fight a ai enemy while in skirmish mode would be cool.

Nice rogue like civ-style game!

I picked this up on a whim, completed the (substantial) tutorial before buying the full game. I’m enjoying it! Gameplay is fun and well balanced. Feedback loops are just right; every time a mission ends, there’s always water left in the well that makes you wonder what would happen if you kept going. I can tell it’s a pretty new game—I expect some easy UX enhancements are coming soon.

Best mobile game in a while

This game is a lot of fun and I usually don’t spend money one mobile games but this one I’m going to make an exception. It has a lot of tough but doable puzzles to complete and over all is great.

Edgy 666 themes?

I really enjoyed the game then I saw the achievements based around 666. Even if you’re not religious, it’s just odd to have that as a goal/achievement.

Really Enjoyed This Game

This was exactly what I wanted—relaxing, fun to strategize but easy enough to play after a long day when my brain is tired. The graphics and narrative were charming. Thanks, devs, I enjoyed this a lot.

Not for me

I found this game to be too tough. I couldn’t win before you handed me tributes and barbarians. You need a free play or something to make it easier for some folks.

Love it

Everything is great, but can you please disable the fires somehow?!? When the map becomes large enough, it’s often that i stay on one side of the map, building and exploring, and then suddenly I realize that half of my buildings are gone on the other side. It’s so annoying. Literally happens in every single run. Maybe you can create some kind of an indicator that there is a fire on the map, otherwise there is no way to know.

First solid game on the app store in a while

Just played the 8 chapter tutorial for this game and not a single ad. Quality gameplay

Addictive!

this game is super fun and the pixel art is so nostalgic. It is a charming Catan-inspired game and has much to explore. The little bit of writing is great and thr new update is very cool, can't wait for more to come!

Awesome game

So much effort put into this game, it’s got a lot of character, I’m loving it so far!!

Casual but in depth

Enjoyable through and through even for the free version. I'll consider purchasing.

5 Negative User Reviews for TownsFolk

Relatively Boring

Mechanics are clunky. Conquest maps feel redundant. Turned base matches feel pointless. Felt like a waste of money.

Unwinnable

This game is made to lose. I can’t even get thru the tutorial. “Challenge” is one thing, non-stop stumbling blocks is another. If the game had options for difficulty I would try an easier setting but it’s best that I just delete it. Plus, the update info in not written in English. Nor any language that I recognize. Why would they do that?

why?

The Church can already resolve the plague via blessings, so why is there an option to manually click on plague tiles and spend 15 Faith each to remove them? This is a complete waste of Faith and makes it impossible to pass the level. Besides, aren't disasters like the plague just set up to prevent players from winning? This is some truly nonsensical game design.

Could be better

Free version is just the tutorial and skirmish. Have to pay for the campaign

I want more but can’t get it!

I love this game. Its actively delightful, strategic building and resource balancing is a favorite aspect of games for me! However in this case the game is bugged and won’t let me buy the full one. The button to do so does nothing and locks up the app. Redownloding, restarting my phone, and trying to purchase it through the app store both dont work!
