Build the town of Pixelshire and grow your community in a unique RPG sandbox which mixes life sim elements with town building, exploration, and combat. Express yourself by planning the town to your liking, master trades, get to know your neighbours, and explore the continent of Arcadia.
Pixelsire is a simple yet rich adventure that will allow you to set your own pace, and live life in your own terms. Featuring unique sandbox town-building mechanics, you will have all the freedom to craft, create, and shape your own thriving new town. Master the skill of trading to help your fellow villagers with daily tasks, tend to livestock, or get busy with interior designing, there are plenty of areas where you can shine with your talent and creativity.
From terraforming the landscape to growing your population and meeting new villagers to work together, Pixelshire is an adventure that brings procedurally generated mines and islands, each filled with unique creatures to battle, and resources to collect.
