Comments on TownsFolk for Android

★★★★★ Kevin Vega · Jun 15, 2026

Really fun addictive game. It reminds me of the Civ games but without troops.

★★★★☆ Mareq Jakubčík · Jul 22, 2026

The part about campaign ranking is weird. Why when there are goals, the ranking isn't about how fast you reach the goals, but how long you avoid to reach them? Forcing people to play each campaign for many hours to make some decent score. And please for the love of God, make popup menus close on tap outside of them

★★★★★ C “Cuttlefish” Meyer · Apr 29, 2026

Great game - I'm currently playing free, there's enough demo content available to be challenging and satisfying, but also to entice me towards considering full purchase. - still no ads, I'm so grateful :) - The resource management / random events and colony sim are fun, heaps of variation, the aesthetics are really nice. Music is really cool too but easy to adjust - I also appreciate the quality of life inclusion of battery life/time display while in game, I wish more Devs did this!

Bait and switch game they don't even give you the full campaign just a couple of side things and lock the real game behind a paywall

★☆☆☆☆ Adonis Hawari · Sep 3, 2026

The game is beautiful. One little bug makes it unplayable hot garbage. Every time you are done with a portion of the campaign and exit the game there is a good chance the game does not save, and you lose all your progress in that campaign. Since that is literally the only paid part of the game I feel robbed and until it is fixed this will remain 1 star.

★★☆☆☆ Dakota Gleason · May 20, 2026

I went through the entire tutorial just to be told I need to purchase the game to play it. Terrible devs. Do not play unless your plan on paying for this
