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:
Build & Expand – Carefully manage Food, Gold, Faith, and Production to grow your village and keep settlers alive.
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.

Features:
Roguelite Campaign – Each playthrough presents new challenges and unique opportunities.
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.

This is a fantastic strategy game and speaks to Catan lovers and near real time strategy gamers. I enjoy the roguelite style, and it's been occupying my time lately. I purchased the game in full, and I think you should too. The game is AD FREE. The free experience is a great demo as well! I only have one thing to say as a critique: There doesn't appear to be any way to continue playing on a different device. Have I overlooked something? If not, can you add a cloud save & sync functionality?

Thanks so much for the wonderful review and for supporting the full version! You’re right — cloud save and sync aren’t available yet, but we’re working on it and hope to include it in our next big patch. We really appreciate your patience. If you’d like to share more thoughts, join us on Discord or reach us at support@shortcircuitstudio.com

it would be a pretty fun game if i actually got to play it out. but as is the levels end before they even really get going, and the full version looked like the same thing, just with the ability to make em a lil longer by adding more tributes. maybe give a option to keep playing after the round objectives are done? its not much fun to keep playing the start of a game over and over while never seeing a real conclusion. right now its not worth the price for me to try the full version.

Thanks for the feedback! We know it can feel disappointing when a round ends quickly. While we’re not planning to extend levels, the design lets you try a lot for free — including How to Play missions, Puzzle Missions, and a fixed Skirmish. We appreciate you giving it a try!

Finally a good ad free game! You can speed up gameplay or pause it to give you time to think. The creators definitely put thought into the game. I just finished the tutorial and I already love it. You expand your settlement and face random challenges, gain boons, and explore cool places. This game deserves a try. I know I can see myself playing this for hours.
