Townscaper is available for $4.99 on the App Store and Google Play. I have always felt mobile is the playing ground of the free-to-play and I will rarely purchase a premium title, especially with my subscription to Apple Arcade, however, Townscaper is worth every penny.

In my opinion (which is why you’re here right?), Townscaper is a perfect example of a seamless transition from PC to mobile. I can imagine certain players will get bored with the lack of directive and somewhat repetitive placing, which is why short and sweet sessions is a good approach, something that mobile devices capture wonderfully. Developer Stålberg described the game as "more of a toy" due to there not being much objective other than creating a pretty town.
Townscaper is certainly not a game for everyone, with even the notion of it being a game up for debate. Stålberg discussed this on Twitter, saying that he doesn’t think Townscaper should have any music, and advocated people to listen to their own music or a podcast, which I began doing - the podcast no less. However, I felt that if I was spending more time in the game this could quickly get boring. One thing not present when building in Townscaper is music.Īt first, I thought this was a missed opportunity for some tranquil piano playing or smooth jazz accompaniment. Other than this, the other sounds present are when selecting colours the darker the colour the deeper the tone, which is very satisfying. Upon each building placement, there is a satisfying plop sound, which paired with the subtle waves crashing in the background make for a very peaceful experience. When switching to night time a nice little touch is the town’s buildings lighting up, twinkling in the night. One of my favourite features is being able to place buildings without having to build them from the ground up and being able to connect tall towers across the waters.Īnother great feature of Townscaper is the ability to change the time of day and, change where the shadows rest.

However, Townscaper is a game that is all about relaxing and free form placing suits this well - there are no accidents to be made. Often I would accidentally discover new combinations of buildings when trying to do one thing and making something even greater.įor the more meticulous players, there is a snap-to-grid function that provides more precise placing than the free form option. The joy of this is that there is no over-complicating Townscaper and it makes it easy and simple to get straight into playing. Impressively, Townscaper was developed by a team of one, Oskar Stålberg, and published by Swedish indie game publisher Raw Fury.Īs it is procedurally generated players have little control of what buildings will appear, other than an assortment of 15 colours. Townscaper is a procedurally generated colourful town-building game where players have nothing but a vast, seemingly endless ocean to build upon.
So this week, the Game of the week is Townscaper. The game only came to mobile devices on October 20th, so I haven’t had the chance to really indulge myself, but so far I am more than pleased with what is on offer. I have always enjoyed playing town/city building games, from The Simpson’s Tapped Out to Sim City, and an unhealthy addiction to Township back in 2014. Townscaper has remained on my Steam wishlist for some time however I felt that the game would, for me, translate better on a mobile device and so I have been holding out until now. This week I was able to play a game I have had my eye on for a while, Townscaper.
