HandyGames celebrates the release of the fifth installment of their Townsmen franchise. This time, the game is distributed through Disney Mobile Studios.
The game features 14 different campaigns, but new are the six added “never-ending” scenarios. With these scenarios, you keen well… keep playing forever and so the lifespan of the game is greatly extended.
In Townsmen 5, you will play the role of a ruthless baron seeking to conquer neighbourhood settlements and raising taxes. New buildings have been added as well as tax collectors and druids. Your only true enemy in the game is the white magician Celdron, who will bother you with the help of his dragons that you need to defeat in various mini-games.
Nother great update in the gameplay is the possibility to forward the time inside the game. This way, you don’t have to wait for buildings or tax collection to be completed, but keep on playing.
“With Townsmen 5 we continue the popular series”, says Christopher Kassulke, CEO of Handy Player, “but we also improved the well known gaming concept by creating new buildings and new opponents, resulting in achieving a new refined game. The established distribution network of Living Mobile will help us to even exceed the success of the series.”
“Townsmen 5 is clearly a favourite with gamers across Europe and has grown with each instalment. It is very much the type of game our customers enjoy in that it is easy to pick up and play, but very rewarding the more you get into the detail of it.” Commented Sunil Gunderia, VP Mobile EMEA, Walt Disney Internet Group.
