Press release:
Giebelstadt, Germany, March 24th, 2022
The Giebelstadt-based (German) indie games publisher and developer HandyGames today announced with great thrill and delight that the full version of their medieval-themed city building VR game “Townsmen VR” is now available for PC via Steam.

“It’s been a long way getting here, but it was definitely worth the wait. After the last major update that included more maps, more buildings and more of basically everything we upped the ante and fell into a dash short before the finishing line.

Now with the final update and release, Townsmen VR even got a sandbox mode and is better than ever. A unique one-of-a-kind VR game that lets you control the fate of your settlers. Build, crawl, explore, pet, pick, throw and fight – it’s time to get your hands dirty.” – HandyGames

Coming very soon to Oculus Store and to HTC Viveport.

What’s it all about?

Start small and expand your might over a world of 13 different islands and archipelagos. Filled to the brim with exciting features, gizmos, and things to lay your virtual hands on. Build more than 20 unique buildings and upgrade them. Immerse yourself in a thrilling story with many exciting quests that will provide you with hours of fun!

Let me show you its features:
A fully-voiced campaign and story arching over 13 islands
Upgrades and add-ons for buildings

Animals like cows, sheep, chickens and wild animals roam the islands
