Townsmen is a medieval-era city-building strategy game where you grow your tiny village into a grand medieval empire with a thriving economy and happy villagers!

Are you eager to build the town of your dreams? To organize production chains, take care of the needs of your population and grow a small village into a large and prospering city? Then your wait will come to an end...

Labyrinth is a death trap even for “devoid of shadows”. That is how mortals named the vampires. You must be one of them! And thou shalt not ordinary ghoul, but an noble heir to one of the greatest kingdoms of the Eternal Night universe.

Your way you start as a fugitive, fleeing from the killers in a coup d'état. But if you enters the labyrinth - change your destiny forever. Somewhere in the depths of the Labyrinth hidden source of ancient Force that belonged to the ancestor of the entire vampire race.

Devoid of Shadows is a mix of old-school mechanics and modern trends. This is a true roguelike role-playing game with randomly generated world. And all of the adventures will not be similar to each other! You have your own castle and workshops, as well as a flexible character development system. Even if your castle - this is a picture, and to become stronger, you will have to drink blood and sleep in a coffin...


On November 9th, 2018, HandyGames will publish Townsmen – the first medieveal city builder ever on Nintendo Switch – and let you build a town on your journey into town (or, indeed, anywhere).

Townsmen (Switch) is based on the long-lasting Townsmen series and comes with a carriage-load of content: players can pick between 26 different scenarios – such as protecting a city under siege from bandits or making sure the King’s birthday party is a huge success – or play one of 24 sandbox maps and build a thrilling town from scratch. It’s up to you as a wise ruler and careful planner to fulfill the needs of your beloved Townies, who follow individual daily routines.

In Townsmen Switch players can research up to 75 different technologies, 45 production buildings and 129 other structures, all of which need to be considered if you want to succeed: Townies appreciate short commutes to work and love to enjoy food or relax in nearby parks when off the clock. But with so many different elements to consider, including the elements themselves (seasons and weather strongly impact planning – Townies consume way more water during summer, for instance), crafting the perfect home won’t be simple.

Key Features:

  • Blood Labyrinth: In the Labyrinth, you can easily die or get cranky. And each the walkthrough will be unique due to the random level generation, creatures, treasures and items.
  • Vampire saga: Our vampires are not prone to sentimentality, do not wear sunglasses or long uncomfortable coats. They use blood magic, worship the Dark Gods, and revived after the death in a cozy coffin - with renewed strength and a thirst for blood...
  • Multi-layered plot: The deeper you descend into the Labyrinth, the more dark and ancient secrets are opened to you. With new knowledge comes the understanding that your personal problems really are not worth a broken tusk. And the Labyrinth - not what it seems... or than trying to seem...
  • Advanced crafting system: You can collect resources and recipes, destroying everything that will fall under the arm. You have your own castle and workshops: forge, a library, an alchemy lab, warehouse and even a carpentry workshop. You are bad vampire if you isn't able to make a coffin, or carve aspen stake! Any object can create, enhance and enchant in three layers...
  • Role-playing system: Three classes of characters and dozens of different skills, the use and improvement of which is tied to the power of the blood. Yes, the same one that vampires take away from the defeated enemy. Our system of Weakness and Talents makes the death of the hero as an important element of character development. Therefore, leaving the castle you must be sure that you brought a comfortable coffin...

Currently available on PC, Townsmen is coming to Nintendo Switch on November 9, 2018 for $19.99/19,99 €.
