Town of Salem 2 is out now on iOS and Android, bringing the hit social deduction series back to mobile
- Town of Salem 2 is out now on the iOS App Store and Google Play
- It brings one of the original werewolf-likes to mobile
- In Town of Salem 2 there’s 50+ roles to choose from in protecting or destroying the titular settlement
Do you think that if you were murdered your friends could find out whodunnit? Er, well in my case likely not. But if you want to put that to the test why not get them all together to play a round of Town of Salem 2, as this classic social deduction game finally hits iOS and Android?
Now this is one of those few times where I reckon all among us (pun not intended) young and old know about Town of Salem. This werewolf-like was doing it well before astronauts were murdering each other in space, and despite the simplistic graphics, it hid an incredibly paced and detailed multiplayer murder mystery simulator.
Town of Salem 2 sees you dropped into a town nominally resembling the titular location in Puritan New England. Your job? Discover who’s trying to destroy the town of course. But with 50+ possible roles for players, different modes and the usual shenanigans when players try to solve problems, you’ll have your work very much cut out for you.
Burn the witch!
I’d argue that Town of Salem 2 is superior to Among Us if only because of the depth of modes, roles and possible actions available. Among Us definitely has the edge in terms of accessibility, especially since it was the first to come to mobile, but if you want to experience the intrigue and chaos of mob justice first hand there’s no better avenue than Town of Salem 2.
The original Town of Salem was already a classic, so with enhanced graphics and gameplay I can’t see why the second instalment finally hitting mobile won’t be a big hit too.
