Township review

Township blends a farm sim with a town builder, and it is the most reviewed game on this list with 2.2 million US App Store ratings averaging 4.8 out of 5. The listing describes becoming mayor, building houses, factories and community buildings, growing crops and decorating the town, with match-3 puzzles as a side activity that earns rewards. It is also one of the few picks here that plays offline: Playrix says a Wi-Fi or internet connection is not required, although competitions and some extra features need one. At 296.2 MB it is the lightest download in this list. Township is free to play, and purchases start with a $1.99 Tiny Cash Pack. The 13+ rating, loot box disclosure and the match-3 layer are the reasons some pure simulation fans may prefer Hay Day or SimCity BuildIt. For players who want farming plus a growing town on a phone, without needing a signal, it is a strong second farming choice.
