Short Circuit Studio has unveiled an exciting new update for their recently launched settlement builder, TownsFolk. Titled "Shadows and Fortune," this update deepens the game's already rich pixel-art adventure with a darker tone and a host of new mechanics to explore.
Even though TownsFolk is newly launched, the developers are not holding back on enriching the gameplay experience. The "Shadows and Fortune" update introduces new buildings and challenges that promise to transform your gameplay. Be on the lookout for roaming Barbarians that will add an element of tension to your campaign missions and Skirmish mode. You'll also encounter eight new structures, including the Altar, the Town Square, the Blacksmith, the Aqueduct, the Bank, the Granary, the Factory, and the Terraformer, each bringing unique functionalities to your town.
The water tiles are getting a splashy update with the introduction of the rare Whale, adding a new layer of excitement to your aquatic explorations. Additionally, Special Locations such as ancient Obelisks and new Shipwrecks will enhance the unpredictability of your adventures, making you wonder, "What does that ancient Obelisk do?"
To help you navigate through these new additions, the update includes a handy Compendium that serves as an in-game encyclopedia. The Exploration System has been revamped, and you can now adjust Campaign Difficulties between Frontier and Survival modes to suit your preferred challenge level.
