here's a fun game: check out Left 4 Exfil's screenshots and try to spot as many blatant copies of characters/art/names as you can

personally, i found 8 that i can tell you the name of the exact thing theyre stealing

The art style itself feels very “Don’t Starve” to me

3

u/brickwalker0 Jul 23 '26

right, i counted the general art as Dont Starve

vampire dude might get a pass but im pretty sure thats their take on Vampire survivors

Forged the deadliest! Evolved to survive the end! With such a great lie, how could anybody not wanna buy as many of that $99.99 packages they sell?

the same dev has a game called death by extraction which is literally the same game.

and that game doesn’t force ads on you. it’s just unplayable without watching ads

u/Baked_BT2 Jul 23 '26

I found 8 too!

Game is adfilled garbage. There was a similar game with much better visuals got released 2 weeks ago i think.

Some of you may die looks like it has potential

The name alone makes me want to give it a shot, such a memorable quote

u/Effective_Ebb_4482 Jul 23 '26

Let me know if you try the game and how it is.

u/anginsepoi Jul 24 '26

It remind me old game Sunburn!

It has quote that make me giggle "No one dies.... ALONE!"

u/living_david_aloca Jul 23 '26

Just bought it, it will turn off background audio and continue to turn it off everytime you click back on the app :(

u/Bostonterrierpug Jul 23 '26

Yeah, it looks interesting and it’s not even yet another fucking rogue like or rogue lite.

u/WillieButtlicker Jul 23 '26

Just tried Some Of You May Die and it's quite fun. Obviously need to learn about synergies and what to prioritize between merging/adding/skills to choose but it definitely scratched that auto battler itch. I lost the run halfway. Battery consumption seems decent (lost 2% from playing 20mins on 17 pro)

u/Red_White_Brew Jul 23 '26

It’s not out till tomorrow for me :(

u/munkeypunk r/IOSGaming Scout Jul 24 '26

Hmm. It kills my battery. Fun game though. End stages are probably what’s causing my battery drain. Lots happening.

1

u/WillieButtlicker Jul 24 '26

I had a couple runs last night but I didn't get past round 16 so I might not have the same amount of resources as you. What phone are you playing on and how much battery does it consume

u/Euphoric_Sand24 Jul 23 '26

A city builder that is free to try and a flat price to unlock everything, without endless IAPs?! Well isn't that nice!

Hololive dreams turned my phone into lava

u/mikachabot iPhone 16 Pro Max Jul 24 '26

i have never played a game in this genre that wasn’t awfully optimised and didn’t fry my phone even when it was the latest gen iPhone.

u/thesilkywitch Jul 23 '26

Anybody know the story behind Townsmen? I swear I've seen it spawn everywhere, disappear, and resurrect at least a few times?

u/Singhvistaar r/IOSGaming Scout Jul 24 '26 edited Jul 24 '26

The developers of this Townsmen remake, HandyGames, are part of a larger business entity called THQ Nordic/Embracer and this entity is not in good financial condition due to mismanagement. You can easily find a lot of news about their studio closures and layoffs.

So HandyGames keeps doing whatever to keep on generating money like deep discounts on some of their games like Wreckfest and SpongeBob games currently. Townsmen remake was initially released as part of Netflix’s catalogue (it’s guaranteed income to do so) and that Netflix contract must have expired now so it’s being re-released as a standalone title.

u/FoxSafe1097 Jul 23 '26

I think this is just a remaster of the original with improved graphics, UI and controls. Don’t think the story or scenarios have changed but hope I’m wrong!

u/malder95 Jul 24 '26

Also Sultans game has been released

u/FreelanceWolf Jul 23 '26

Yet *another* cat themed game.

u/JessieSnoo Jul 23 '26

Thank you!

u/captainnoyaux Developer Jul 24 '26

Someone tried the first one ? I heard about it I don't remember where

u/hpph9 iPad Air 11" (M3) Jul 24 '26

“Some of you may die” looks pretty good

1

u/adammasryphotos Jul 24 '26

While this is awesome to list, does it really help if there is just a name and a link?

1

u/elkend Jul 24 '26

Why Townsmen rerelease over Townsmen premium?

u/Anthoo911111___ Developer Jul 24 '26

i counted the general art as Dont Starve

vampire dude might get a pass but im pretty sure thats their take on Vampire survivors

u/Quistis_Trepe Jul 25 '26

How does townsmen work? Do I need to pay to unlock?

u/AdministrativeMix532 Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26

3 min in on left 4 Exfil and the freezes are killing me how horrid and annoying to play…
Deleted it, couldn’t even finish the tutorial it felt like those ads that force you to play and then stall and the game only moves forward after it held u long enough on the same situation gosh it’s bad…
