Enjoy the revolutionary gameplay of Townsmen 6

Building a successful civilisation takes years of industry, toil and pain from countless individuals. There are highlights, for sure, but they're usually sandwiched between heaps of tedious legislation and skulduggery.

Townsmen 6 takes out all the boring bits from this process, condenses it into a rich and varied mobile strategy game and puts you in control. You can’t ask for much more than that from your humble phone, can you?

Set during the time of the French Revolution, Townsmen 6 challenges you to construct a self-supporting community that's able to stand up to the oppressive monarchy of the time. You must build settlements that include housing, industry and defensive measure as you strive to take over France one region at a time.

The Townsmen series is highly revered on mobile, due to its ability to provide a great deal of depth in such a manageable mobile format. This sixth edition is undoubtedly the finest yet, with some beautifully detailed and expressive (yet never less than functional) graphics and some worthy tweaks to the proven formula.

It's so good, in fact, that we at Pocket Gamer saw fit to give it a coveted Gold Award, as well as including it in our recent list of the top 10 mobile games of 2009 so far.

For all those of you sat at home shaking your heads in disbelief as yet another fat-cat politician/banker gets away with murder, here’s your chance to try something a little more… revolutionary.
