Townsmen: A Kingdom Rebuilt kind of sounds like a contradiction in terms. Its name implies an enhancement, an evolution, at least progression on what has gone before, and aside from sheer content, there’s nothing here to validate that claim. It’s an old-fashion resource management game with a relatively fresh lick of paint that functions perfectly well. It won’t be the title that brings in newcomers to the genre, but because of its accessibility and familiar gameplay, it could very well suck in those who enjoy such titles for hours on end, and those people will enjoy their time immensely, as is their vice.
