Towns brings a fresh new take on the city building/management genre by introducing many RPG features.
Fantastic game with BIG potential. Fairly nice (but simple) graphics. It is hard sometimes to place things due to the inability to rotate or change camera angle.
Needs alot of game testing. The balance of different things needs adjusting. The AI is amazingly stupid. Citizens are not even smart enough to avoid fights so they die very easily without weapons. Speaking of weapons and defence. Before you get iron you are nearly defenceless. Which is kind of stupid when you have access to both stone and wood. You can chop down trees but not monsters?
Unfortunatly it is possible to actually end up in a very dumb situation. You can spend MANY hours on a village but perhaps not having iron at that time. One or two monsters spawn (warepigs?) and ALL of your little people can simply become dead. That is a HUGE turn off. Either enable a monster free world (optional) until you are ready (you can turn on them whenever) OR improve the mechanics! Other than things like this the game is fantastic.
Oh, yes, the handling of containers are less good. Also the strange hight system (in order to view different hight levels) are quite difficult to use. That needs fixing big time!
But I hope these issues will get done in time. The game is otherwise to good not to. :)
