Towns

Short description

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?

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $4.96, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $4.99 launch price. That is 1% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
