Short Circuit Studio has just announced a thrilling update for their recently launched settlement builder game, TownsFolk. Titled "Shadows and Fortune," this update introduces a darker tone to the charming pixel-art adventure, bringing a host of new mechanics and features to explore.
Even though TownsFolk is newly launched, the studio is not holding back on deepening the gameplay experience. The "Shadows and Fortune" update adds new buildings and challenges to mix things up. Players will need to be on guard for roaming Barbarians that heighten the tension in campaign missions and Skirmish mode. Additionally, eight new structures are introduced: the Altar, the Town Square, the Blacksmith, the Aqueduct, the Bank, the Granary, the Factory, and the Terraformer.
Water enthusiasts will be excited to know that water tiles are getting a fishy update with the introduction of the rare Whale, adding a new element to explore. The unpredictability of the game is further enhanced with Special Locations like ancient Obelisks and new Shipwrecks.
To help players navigate the new complexities, a handy Compendium has been added, serving as an in-game encyclopedia. The Exploration System has been revamped, and players can now adjust Campaign Difficulties between Frontier and Survival modes for a customized challenge.
