"ShantyTown is a game about building upward as well as outward, where players construct stacked micro-dwellings on the backs of roaming stalk-legged elephants or on precarious cliff-sides."
"The twist here is that you don't pick your buildings and items from an open menu, but rather are assigned items from a 'deck,' which encourages improvisation and a cluster-y building style."
"This is very much a game about tin shacks and flimsy diners crammed into tiny spaces, often piled high, to make economic use of tiny spaces while fulfilling each level's goals."
ShantyTown is a cozy construction game that combines elements of classic games like SimCity and Theme Park. Players build structures on unconventional terrains, such as rocky outcrops and islands. Instead of selecting items from a menu, players are assigned items from a deck, promoting improvisation and a unique building style. The game emphasizes maximizing space with stacked buildings and fulfilling requests from structures to upgrade them. Completing these requests not only beautifies the town but also provides bonuses essential for achieving level goals.
