## What is Kingdom Eighties?

Kingdom Eighties is a standalone expansion to the award-winning Kingdom series: A singleplayer adventure of micro-strategy and base building, inspired by the neon lights of the eighties. 

You play as The Leader, a young camp counselor who will have to defend their town and family from the relentless attack of the mysterious Greed. What are these monsters, and why are they trying to steal their family legacy, the Crown of Creation?

Recruit the neighborhood kids and assign them roles as soldiers or builders. Use coins to build and expand your kingdom, and fortify it by raising walls and defensive turrets. And be prepared for when the night comes, for the Greed will attack you without mercy. If you lose your crown, everything is doomed! 

Every game in the Kingdom series holds secrets. Explore the surroundings to unlock mounts, discover technology upgrades and weapons, and learn how to manage your resources wisely to survive.

A KINGDOM GAME FOR VETERANS AND NEWCOMERS

Building upon the well-known mechanics from the previous Kingdom games, Kingdom Eighties will deep dive into the lore and worldbuilding of the series. And if you're new to it, the story elements will fluently guide you through the gameplay mechanics. 

MEET YOUR COMPANIONS

You will meet three supporting characters along the way: The Champ, The Tinkerer, and The Wiz. Each one has different abilities that you can combine to solve puzzles and find the solution to each level. 

HIT THE STREETS IN STYLE

The summer camp is just the beginning! You will travel through different locations never seen before in the Kingdom series. Find some fresh wheels at the skateboard park, visit the shops on Main Street, and free the New Lands Mall from the Greed.

PIXEL ART MEETS SYNTH

Kingdom's iconic, handcrafted art style is back, now with a neon touch coming directly from the eighties aesthetics. Chill and vibe with the synthwave OST from Andreas Hald, and travel back to the wonder days of bike riding and summer camps, when everything seemed possible.

### 5/5 — Вновь шедевр (хоть и простенький)

*2026-01-21*

В эту часть начал играть после прохождения New Lands, пропустив Two Crowns. Здесь сильно проще механика, по сравнению с первой частью. Из новшеств крайне зашел микроконтроль обороной через мусорный ящик и робота. Очень красочная картинка, графика намного интереснее. Вновь получил все ачивки и вновь это не было скучным и однообразным. В режиме “Survival” везде взял Золото. Короче, парадоксально затягивающий геймплей. Вновь шедевр! Из минусов - слишком короткая( Рекомендую всем каждому любителю TD.

p.s. 21 день, второго уровня, режима «Survival» просто ад. 4 лучника спиной добивали последнего «родителя» в противоположном конце карты.

### 1/5 — Very lackluster compared to previous installments

*2025-11-07*

As the title says, gameplay-wise a downgrade. Although the theme is cool.
Also loses a lot of favor because the studio hired Sweet-Baby Inc. which should mean an immediate boycott…

### 2/5 — Ugh why

*2025-10-09*

Why do people hype these games, they’re so bad at the actual gameplay. Tutorial doesn’t explain the mechanics other than go here, slide finger down….ok WHY am I adding coins here? Then the mobs just show up randomly without explanation, during day, night whatever whenever without any instructions on defense. Then upgrades are so frustrating, add 5 coins to bike, oh wait now ADD 2 MORE… what does this bike even do? Oh guess what, now that you bought this bike you don’t have enough to defend yourself, oh not frustrating enough? Let me spawn enemies on BOTH sides of you and not explain how to get out of that situation. Oh also let’s teach the player that the crown is their hp but we won’t actually say that anywhere…. +1 extra star for the cool animations but - stars for all the reasons above. Redo your dang tutorial, this is the 3rd of your games I have but they all are play-once-uninstall-forever worthy.

### 5/5 — A Love Letter to 80s pop Culture Enthusiasts!

*2025-09-21*

This is by far my favorite app game I’ve ever played. I typically don’t buy games for my phone because they aren’t good or lose their appeal quickly. I find myself playing this game over and over and over again. If you like the other Kingdoms game, and are also a child (or fan) of the 80s, this game is a no brainer. Buy it now. AND go buy the soundtrack. It’s calm 80s background music with no vocals that I listen to often. Truly grateful for this game and wish they would release a sequel, dlc, or maybe even a 90s version. I could see that being a blast too!

### 5/5 — Obsessed w/ design

*2025-09-04*

The design of the soundtrack, the pixel graphics, the dramatic cutscenes. It feels like the writers and designers had fun. And I can feel it with each replay I do. Now, I just play it religously when I’m bored on cursed mode. It’s meditative at this point. Not exaggerating.

### 4/5 — Баг

*2025-09-01*

Игра конечно прекрасна во всем, я ее прошел и на пк тоже. То есть тут баг один противный или что это, я не знаю. Игра вылетает просто на катсцене в финале игры и ничего не сохраняется. У меня конечно было так и на пк, но там было в начале игры и все потом починилось. Что тут делать мне, я не знаю, игра как бы пройдена, но и не пройдена одновременно

### 1/5 — セーブ出来ない

*2025-06-25*

エピソード3が途中セーブ出来ずに、何回も最初からやり直しになる
さすがに面倒くさくてやめました

### 4/5 — It’s great but

*2025-05-19*

Love the game. Loved all the other instalments asswell. 
But it constantly crashes during cutscenes :( 

And the behaviour of spending coins doesn’t feel as snappy as in the others. Slow animation maybe …

### 1/5 — Aucun intérêt

*2025-04-13*

Graphisme beau, gameplay inexistant. J’ai passé 2h à aller de droite à gauche tt ça pour voir des pnj se battre automatiquement. Je comprend pas le but, y a 0 évolution et le jeu est bcp trop long. J’ai l’impression de jouer à un simulateur d’aquarium

### 5/5 — Divertido

*2025-03-22*

Não tão completo quanto Kingdom Two Crowns, mas ainda sim divertido.
