Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who want to manage a settlement rather than directly control dungeon heroes
- Strategy fans who prefer crafting and trading to combat-focused play

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking direct control of a hero during dungeon exploration may stop at the independent hero system.
- Players looking for a city builder without RPG systems, dungeon threats, or hero support may find the management scope too broad.
- Players wanting a conventional dungeon-crawling RPG may find the settlement role too central.
- Players seeking an empire-management game across historical generations may prefer Old World.
Our take on Towns
The bounce point arrives when heroes leave to explore without direct player control. Players expecting to guide each fight, choose every movement, or manage a conventional dungeon party will instead return to settlement construction, crafting, trading, and defenses.
What is Towns?
Towns combines settlement management with RPG systems.
Players run a settlement above an active dungeon and cater to travelling heroes instead of controlling the heroes directly. These heroes explore the dungeons independently, fight monsters, gain levels and special skills, and collect randomized loot. Settlement activities include attracting heroes, crafting unique weapons, trading exotic items, and setting up death traps. The strategic and RPG elements unfold across a series of sprawling dungeons, while the settlement must withstand forces rising from below. The game links town management with hero support, dungeon activity, and the goal of clearing the land of evil.
