More from HandyGames About the Game Build a medieval village within a completely interactively simulated world! Townsmen VR  leverages the exciting possibilities of virtual reality to enhance the classic city-building game further, offering entirely new gameplay experiences and interactive mechanics. The game combines elements of a God-game simulation and a classic building game with the interactive possibilities of VR controls. Whether viewed from a bird's-eye view or zoomed in close, you will always experience the action from the proper perspective. Start with a small settlement and expand your might over a world of 13 different islands and archipelagos. Filled to the brim with exciting features, gizmos, and things to lay your virtual hands on. Build and upgrade more than 20 unique buildings. Immerse yourself in a thrilling story with many exciting quests, or play completely free in the sandbox mode with goals set by you. Hours of fun are guaranteed! You are God! As the population of your empire grows, so does the demand for food and goods. Production chains help you meet this need. When you build farms, you can grind the grain harvest there at the mill and bake delicious bread for your Townies from the flour. Your windmill won’t operate when the winds are calm? No worries, give those wings a push. Slap that lazy dude with a fish or help your citizens collect about 20 different raw materials. Do you want to see the world you helped create from the perspective of a townsman? Use your godly powers and scale yourself to experience your town at eye level with your townies. A not-so-peaceful land Farm animals, such as cows, sheep, and chickens, provide essential resources for food production. Your hunters will find rabbits and deer to stalk and hunt. You must be cautious of wild animals, such as wolves or bears, that you encounter. Seagulls are eager to steal your catch, while above the battlefields the crows caw, and high up in the sky, eagles fly free.  In time, you should begin to hire soldiers to defend your realm against intruders and enemy forces! Besides different types of soldiers, you can also make use of heavy artillery: A catapult can punch sensitive gaps in the enemy’s ranks! And should you run out of boulders, remember: everything you can lay your hands on can be used as ammo! However, the enemy kingdom is not the only problem your soldiers will face. Some islands are infested with sinister pirates who are after your precious resources! Explore islands in new ways Intuitive control of the environment allows you to move about – you can literally crawl over the island or adjust your viewpoint as you would position images on your smartphone. You’ll get accustomed to ruling your empire very fast. Most of the islands you visit during the campaign can be unlocked for unrestricted play in the sandbox mode. You'll be able to choose whether you want to play completely without constraints, or give yourself a bit of excitement and accept the challenges you choose. Determine the number of townies you start the game with, defeat all opponents or fight against thieving pirates – the various settings offer you enough freedom for your personal gaming experience! Story: A fully-voiced campaign and story arching over 13 islands. Simulation: Assign jobs and tasks to your villagers to build your supply chains and economy. Town-planning: Unlock more than 20 unique buildings and place them freely within your village to optimize transport routes. Apply upgrades to make them better! Upgrades: Conduct research for further upgrades of your buildings. Trading: Build a harbor to have a trader's ship and begin treasuring up riches. Experience: Brush over trees, form clouds into dangerous thunderstorms, go fishing with your bare hands, and talk to your townies. Interaction: Simply carry workers or resources directly to their destination to speed up the construction of buildings and production. Fight: Recruit brave soldiers, build catapults, bows, and crossbows to protect your island from the Black Knight's raiding henchmen. Tutorial: Your personal advisor, Sir Clunk-a-lot, will accompany you on your virtual tour of the medieval age with useful tips.  Sandbox Mode: Get creative and try out the game conditions you set in free play. Decide for yourself which tasks you want to complete and enjoy full freedom! Sound: Medieval music, adorable sound effects, and a classy English voiceover ensure a fitting atmosphere. funding support by
