Short Circuit Studios Introduces Northsmen Faction in Townsfolk Update

By EvelynSep 16,2025

  • Short Circuit Studios' Townsfolk, a 4X strategy game, receives a major update
  • Northsmen faction debuts with unique tactics and distinctive visuals
  • New update features a comprehensive tech tree, turn-based mode, and multiple save options

Short Circuit Studios' Townsfolk stands out from their earlier titles, blending bold aesthetics with strategic depth. Unlike the cozy minimalist style of Teeny Tiny Towns or the playful toybox vibe of Teeny Tiny Trains, Townsfolk embraces a striking, vivid look, perfectly matched by its latest faction addition.

The fierce Northsmen, arriving in iconic longboats, bring their own structures, a robust tech tree, and tailored tactics for Skirmish and Campaign modes to the Townsfolk world.

A new Turn-Based mode offers a slower, more tactical experience, while multiple save slots in Skirmish mode allow players to experiment with diverse strategies.
