One of the longer-running series that was a constant on our site back in the early days was Townsmen. This humble city builder from developer Handy Games came out with new releases frequently on Java-based phones, before making the jump to smartphones with the simply named Townsmen.
However, in 2018, Handy Games returned to the series with the rebooted and remastered Townsmen - A Kingdom Rebuilt, a new version that, ironically enough, didn't see the light of day on mobile. Well, until now that is, as we are indeed set to see Townsmen - A Kingdom Rebuilt on mobile!
Pre-registration for the new version of Townsfolk is now available on Google Play, with it also coming to the Samsung Galaxy Store and a planned release for iOS and the Epic Games Store further down the line. Even better, Handy has ditched the onerous freemium model for a 'try-before-you-buy' model!

But what about the gameplay? Well, there isn't much to say about Townsfolk that others haven't already said. It's a simple, straightforward city builder set in a colourful, pastoral version of the Middle Ages where your job is to complete missions, gather resources and keep your citizens happy.
The full version of Townsmen - A Kingdom Rebuilt comes complete with an endless mode and a full complement of scenarios, and you can also nab the Seaside Empire DLC as an add-on purchase. With everything from the usual strictures of city building to disasters and seasons to cope with, Townsmen - A Kingdom Rebuilt may be the definitive experience for fans of the series.
