The gameplay is really good. The story is really fun. The tutorials are very thorough but can be easy to overlook. The only part I do not like is that after downloading the game you have to pay 8 dollars or 7.99 to 'unlock' the full game which feels really skummy and is the only reason why I'm not giving this a 5 star if you want people to pay for your game put the price on the Google store not with an 'in app purchase' also I would like to know if the 'star' upgrades need to be unlocked or not

Thank you for the detailed review! Just to clarify: TownsFolk is free to try with Skirmish mode, puzzles, and tutorials, while the one-time in-app purchase unlocks the Campaign and helps us keep the game ad-free. We’ll consider how to present this more clearly. As for the “star” upgrades don’t need to be unlocked, they’re earned as you progress!

very nice game, easy to pick up and play. price is ok to unlock unlimited play and settings. all that it needs now is either a multiplayer option and/or some race specific buildings...ie: elven tree fortress or dwarven mine, some events and maybe some new building skins to spend gold coins on besides just flag decorations.

Thanks a lot! We're really glad you're enjoying it — and those are some great suggestions! We’ll definitely keep ideas like buildings and more customization in mind for future updates. If you ever want to share more, feel free to reach out via Discord or [email protected]!

The game itself is fun, but holy cow the bugs are out of control. For example, several of the worst ones are buing tech upgrades that you can't place, the oil rig is one of the primary ones I can't figure out how to use. Since I can't use it I can't see the compendium entry. It would also be nice if the compendium showed which tiles the buildings can be placed on. Other than that its fun!
