The game brings a fresh new take on the city building/management genre by introducing many RPG features. In Towns you manage a settlement on top of an active dungeon. Instead of playing the hero who delves deep into the dungeon, how about playing the town that houses and caters to the hero's needs?

No, it's not Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld levels of polished experiences, or even mechanically stable and smooth. However, this is but one of many of the earlier memories I have of indie games that intriguied me and let me down, except this one doesn't pretend it's not a mess. And given it's price and the technical potential of its code now being open source, someone might have some amusement out of this. I do recommend trying this, at the very least.
After 13 years of nothing and now the developer comes back to tell everyone the source code is released. No real explanation, no promise to work with whoever want to pick up the stick, just "here ya go, I'm out" For years the developer had the gull to ask 15 bucks for an unfinished product. The only reason so many people came back when the news popped is cause fans kept it alive. This is very much unfinished, and although fun it had so much potential. The fact the developer has the guts to still charge money for this is just appalling.

I bought this game early on when it was released in early access. I loved it and enjoyed the updates. I couldn't wait to see where it was going and was so excited to see the finished product. Then it was abandoned. This was definitely a learning experience for me and left a terrible taste in my mouth for early access games. Now I make sure to wait and see what happens with them while they are developed before purchasing to not have more abandoned games in my library. Don't buy an abandoned game. Especially one that has been left for so long. To come back and essentially say, "here's the code, go do the work for me. I'll keep making money off your free labor though". That's extra gross. I'll be grateful to anyone that has the passion to finish this game though. It would be fun to play it again.
Towns is a great game, I'm excited to see what the community does with it.
There are a lot of people in the reviews with very strong opinions. I definitely got my money's worth out of this game when it first came out. People need to view Early Access games the same as a lottery ticket. Most of them aren't going to be what you want. I also don't understand the vitriol over steam continuing to sell an unfinished game. Buyer beware. I'm sure there are people that bought it after development stopped that had fun playing it. Why would you deny them that? If the amount you are spending on a game is not trivial, do some research before you click buy. If the amount you spend IS trivial, why are you bellyaching so hard? I don't go to McDonald's and expect a filet mignon. I think the release of the source code is a good outcome, and I think the new price is extremely generous. I do not regret my purchase, or the price I originally paid.
Do not buy this game. It is long, long dead and abandoned. How it is still being sold, how Steam is still allowing this unfinished, thing, to be sold, is beyond me. Avoid this, and avoid anything that these developers work on in the future. It is one thing to stop developing a product after selling it to people, it is another to then KEEP SELLING IT, knowing that it will never be finished. Absolutely shameful.
I really imagine what this could have been. This is the kind of city builder I would have loved.
I love the game! Making it open Source was the best that could happen to the project.
Its been a many years since I played this game. Its an adorable colony-sim thats a little rough on the edges yet impressively detailed compared to similar indie games. The Developer recently released the source code which I want to share my appreciation for. I think thats a great way to revitalize an old game and allow others to contribute and learn from it. For a 5€ game, I dont think the game deserve its negative score. There's plenty of fun to be had.
The game's source has been released for further community development. That's awesome and while progress may be slow, the game was and still IS worth playing.
