Townsmen Premium in IOS

Medieval city-builder

Our Expert Score

93/100

Townsmen Premium is a deep, rewarding city-builder that successfully brings the complexity of PC simulation games to mobile. Set in the medieval era, it goes far beyond simply placing buildings. You have to manage intricate production chains—harvesting wheat to mill into flour to bake into bread—all while keeping your 'Townies' happy and taxed appropriately. The addition of seasonal weather effects and disasters like fires or droughts means you’re constantly adapting your strategy. A drought might dry up your crops, forcing you to rely on stored food or trade, which adds a genuine layer of survival to the building process.

The Premium version is a breath of fresh air because it removes all advertising, allowing you to focus entirely on your empire. The optional military features—where you must defend your peaceful town from pillaging bandits—add a welcome change of pace from the economic management. Whether you're beautifying your city with statues and lush gardens or training soldiers to protect your marketplaces, the game feels alive. It’s one of the most comprehensive simulation games on the App Store, offering hundreds of hours of gameplay for fans of the genre.
