The long-lasting Townsmen series by Hand Games is making its debut on the Nintendo Switch on November 9, 2018. The series puts players in charge of a medieval city and tasks them with 26 different scenarios – such as protecting a town under siege from bandits or making sure the King’s birthday party is a huge success. There are also 24 sandbox maps for those who would prefer to keep their creativity unrestraint.

In Townsmen Switch players can research up to 75 different technologies, 45 production buildings and 129 other structures, all of which need to be considered if you want to succeed: Townies appreciate short commutes to work and love to enjoy food or relax in nearby parks when off the clock.

Other features that will make it into the Switch version of Townsmen include:

  • Cute inhabitants with their own daily routines
  • Complex economy sim and deep production chains
  • Dozens of different town and production buildings
  • Optional military feature with soldiers and bandits
  • Meaningful seasons and weather effects
  • Devastating disasters like fire, disease, drought and many more
  • Diverse scenarios and challenging tasks

Townsmen has been available on Steam for nearly two years now and has mixed reviews. However, the Nintendo Switch may be a more natural platform for this type of game, and the fact that the military features are optional may make Townsmen a nice relaxing city builder on the go. You can find out for yourself when Townsmen releases on the Nintendo Store on November 9, 2018.
