It's super fun (similar to Caesar 3) but you literally cannot make progress without watching ads. On top of that, they stop loading ads after you've seen like 20 in a day. So you slowly lose interest in even trying. I want to give you guys 5 stars, even having a $10 Free Prestige Ads option of some sort would be better. It's like Hulu; do you want $0.03 in ad revenue per view or $7/mo for an actual "premium" version? You decide. But for now, I've lost interest. 💔
I have been playing this game on and off for years. I love the style and fact there are no adverts. I love the challenges but there is also the option to play sandbox as well. All in all this is the perfect town building game. I wish the developers could release some different styles of buildings.
Fantastic game, it really gets your strategy skills working. I have played for a number of years, but stopped for a while because it became a bit same old, same old. But it has been updated and it takes a while to get the right balance so your Townies (and Townettes!) are 100% happy in everything. If you want it warlike it can be-ish (the bandits are cute), or peaceable, that too. One thing l would love to see added to the decorations is grass! The bare patches of ground really bug me!
Placing a building down is very finicky, as the screen would move when putting it down. Also buildings would snap into place after letting go. I think having the buildings "snap" to the placement grid would be more fluid gamewise. Furthermore the roads are an absolute nightmare to place since I would have to go through this process twice. Not only was it hard to place, but it was just as difficult to discern where I was placing the road too. It maybe me but I also had trouble tapping the arrows.
I wanted to like this game. Resource chains, sisters, great graphics and the freedom to build. But I feel that microtransactions has been tracked into the game to make it as slow as infuriatingly possible to get you to pony up more money. Furthermore, it is extremely shallow in terms of complexity and high on grinding and waiting. There are many more games on the PC that cost less than it's asking price of $18 ($6 plus two $6 IAPs for all the features to make it playable).
it's great! if there's an improvement that can be made, i'd say please let us have base view (make building invisible and only indicate the building area). something similar to the appearance when the building is still being made. the reason is, for when users need to apply/change roads, as well as when adding trees/decor in between buildings. anyways, the game is still pretty addicting!
It’s a great game but as time pass by you won’t be able to do much, so how about creating another game base from this game but instead of having a multiple scenarios or sandbox, just create one with bandits that have a main base and multiple branches, and if one wants to expand the area they need to defeat the bandits within that area. That would be fun. Looking forward for your next update, and new games. Thank you for the game.
Despite paying to remove ads, the game still starts with a "play these other games" screen every time, randomly pops up windows to tell you to buy ingame stuff too and annoys you to rate the game too, which is why I won't give it more than 3 stars. The game itself is solid, but you really want the unlimited speed up thing to play.
Good concept, but game is unplayable. Even if I paid for a game, it's designed to get more and more money from you. Buildings are being destroyed by everything (fire, lightning, storm), so you are keep repairing it with every money you have. So you need to pay with prestige, and whops, it's also paid. Really good concept, graphic, idea, but game is unplayable. Really not recommending spending any money on that. It's waste of time and the cash.
Used to love this game, but its changed since it has been monetized. It takes ages to get anywhere unless you spend $$ to buy the game then more for double xp and fast forward. There are also in app purchases. You can watch ads but they stop after a day or so and surveys that mostly ask lots of ??? then dump you with very little or no reward. I get devs need to make $$ but it seems a bit greedy to charge for the game and then again for everything you need to stop the game being boringly slow.
Incredibly disappointed that buying the premium version of this game only disables the in-game adds. Still riddled with micro transactions, you don't even get the ability to fast forward freely unless you spend more money. Just feels like they're cash grabbing and making things feel tedious and slow until you spend money for their "upgrades" which should just be included in the purchased version of the game. I'm sure the gameplay is fine, but I'm so frustrated with feeling like I completely wasted my money buying this that I don't even want to continue playing it. Really just... Disappointed in the choices they've made for this games "premium" version. Certainly doesn't feel premium in anyway.
very nice concept. just need improvements in view/camera management as selecting object in crowds can sometimes become annoying. for those who cannot manage their town through out the quests and you think prestige is the only way, you are mistaken. just start another scenario and complete easy and simple quest again n again until you have leveled up and had upgrades, and ofc saved bunch of prestiges
Actually bought this game as I was really enjoying it. However the further you get in the gameplay and the more building you get the more you have to repair. How often your repairing buildings is ridiculous, to the point it gets really frustrating as you can't make any headway with the actual game.
A very good game that brought me hours over hours of fun and joy! I installed it after many years again (maybe 5?) and found that the game had many new features, making it new and exciting, while keeping the same, cozy "Townsmen feeling". Especially the research feature promises a long-term improvement aspect, that stays even after finishing one scenario. The game is great as is, only two things I'd love to see: a better placement mechanism (placing roads is a drag...) and a small campaign.
The closest thing you can find to a decent equivalent of the Anno and Settlers series on PC. Regrettably, the "premium" label is giving it a bad rep, 'cos it's quite the opposite - you still have to spend a bit of $ to truly unlock some important features to make it enjoyable. Might as well offer a free 'trial' version, and a full-fledged, full-priced version instead of this 'premium' one with its wall of IAPs.
This medieval village management sim is a nice attempt at the genre but it seems to be confused. - A premium title, even a low-cost one, should not display a launcher screen on start with 60% of the screen dedicated to advertisements. It took a moment to "find" my game. - A modern mobile title should not start with a launcher screen requiring me to select the game I wish to play; I already did that when i tapped the game icon on my phone. I got other beef, but i ran out of space...
I played this a long time ago, came back to it. Some of it is still pretty awesome but you have to tax the people into oblivion to pay for it all. Also..I paid for the no.ads version. So, then..I go to watch ads for Prestige and after a day of playing fine now I can't watch ads, it's not even offered. How long between refreshes? Doesn't appear to be a limited thing..There really should be more ways to earn Prestige.
Nowadays where games are "free" but microtransactions are the only way to progress in the game, Townsmen is exactly how games should be. You pay for the full game and progress by expanding/constructing your town thus unlocking buildings and decorations. There are side missions to help as well that are timed but evenly challengYes, even though there are in-app purchases, they are not needed. I have owned this game since it first came out and it has been crucial to every phone I have owned since.
I love Townsmen game. I have been playing it for years. The clouds saving feature is what I love the most because with it I can save my progress. I lost my smart phone on which I originally downloaded the game and have played almost all the scenarios and most of the sandboxes on that my lost device. Just because I saved the game process to the clouds using my email address, I was able to restore everything on my new device, the stages I've played, the coins and others. That's wonderful!
tried playing again today after the last time I loaded up a city bandits attacked after I'd turned them off. Today I spent a while on a city when it turned from winter to spring the map turned black. the building I had already were jumping around the map and the ones built after turned invisible. there were no textures for the ground. it just flashed black and white. half of the buildings in the menu disappeared to be replaced with white blocks. I wish I never upgraded from the free version
Excellent game, one of the best economic rts in my opinion. Not so easy and casual, but still very exciting for novice player. Includes some purchases like more prestige (it's like a second money) and double experience for researching (instead of academy). Anyway, here is no pay to win gameplay which is a huge plus. The only con is buying unlimited skip cos it was free in other games of this series. But it's cheaper than cup of coffee for propagandists)
Been a fan ever since the old Townsmen, it's lots of fun to play, trapping people in walls, building city of dreams, Could be better with some UI improvements, like temporarily show what's behind a building, but I'm not taking away a star for that, it's a nice to have feature but not a necessity.. I just want the devs to think of some new buildings that can be put inside, some cool layouts to play.. Beyond map zooming for overall view etc..
I've enjoyed this game for a while now. The only thing I've never understood is why fast forward is limited in the "PAID" version. This should just be a normal part of the game. Imagine if SIMS made you pay to speed up time or what about Ages of Empires... It just seems wrong and it slows down the game play making it boring and you want to watch ads to get free...... ohhhh I see what you did there... Premium?? Not really guys.
There is sooo much depth to this game! There is lots of stratagy too! Lots to build and customize! I love watching all the townies complete there tasks. The detail is incredible! This quality is like a pc game! Great job! This game could keep you busy for years lol. Its perfect! The scenery and sounds are beautiful. It's very relaxing yet challenging. So many maps too! I love this game!
Really love playing this game. I have been looking for something just like this after being a massive fan of the settlers on pc. I bought the unlimited speed up. If you're going to buy the double xp I suggest buying early as I bought it late and then barely got any use of it by the time I finished the campaigns. Anyone having issues with 'reserving stock' to send away for quests, if you're always running out its because you have to produce enough to fulfill the needs of your population first.
Townsmen 6 was amazing and i thought this would worth a try and it is. Although many things can be improved, the fact that the view is locked in one point makes it difficult to know whats behind a building to even interact with it, an extra option to temporarily disable buildings (vision lens) in edit-mode will fix it. Small requests from many players, adding an option to rotate building would tremendously improve the experience.
