About
Grab your bike, pedal off and beat back the Greed to save your town. Kingdom Eighties is a story-based tower defense spin-off to the award-winning Kingdom series set in the ‘80s. This is a singleplayer and local co-op (or online co-op via Steam Remote Play Together) adventure with base building and strategy elements, rad aesthetics and a soundtrack inspired by the sweet synth tunes of the ‘80s.
Something disturbing has broken free from the shadows and it's up to you as The Leader to drive the evil back by recruiting your friends and other kids from the neighborhood. Together you will build your defenses and protect the town from the relentless attacks by the mysterious Greed monsters that are trying to steal your family heirloom, the Crown of Creation. For what nefarious purposes, who knows?
Gather your three unique companions, each with special skills, and recruit other kids to build defenses, collect coins and… run a lemonade stand and a pizza shop (among many other things)! Manage the people you recruit, unlock tools and more importantly gear your crew up for the horrors that come at night.
A force, dormant for centuries, has somehow broken free in the ‘80s; Kingdom Eighties is a comic-sized story about the small town Monarch that has come under threat by an unknown evil. It has fallen upon you, as The Leader, to defend it and save the day. Rally the Summer Camp when an evil force of goopy Greed monsters attack and try to break your defenses. Where did they come from and where the heck are all the adults? Uncover clues and discover what happened to everybody else as you repel and fight the Greed back.
Kingdom's iconic, handcrafted art style is back, now with a neon touch coming directly from the ‘80s aesthetics. Chill and vibe with the synthy OST from Andreas Hald, and travel back to the wonder days of bike riding and summer camps, when everything seemed possible.
In the true arcade style, Kingdom Eighties features a new game mode: Survival Mixtapes! Bring your best tactics and strategies to fend off progressively harder waves of Greed in four different episodes including “Back to the Suburbs” and “Greed, First Goo”. Make on-the-fly decisions as certain buildings’ special abilities are disabled and levels feature random mounts. This game mode is sure to put your skills to the test!

Fini Kingdom Eighties (une variation années 80 de Kingdom Two Crowns) en six heures. Pour ceux qui connaissent pas la licence Kingdom, ce sont des jeux type tower defense en side-scrolling. Vous commencez au milieu de la carte et des créatures vous attaquent des deux côtés. Il faut les repousser en recrutant des enfants pour construire des structures, chasser et étendre son territoire et accumuler des ressources et des objets de quête. Je ne connaissais cette franchise que de loin. J'ai pris l'épisode des années 80 pour éviter l'énième jeu de fantasy. Le tuto est très léger et il n'y a pas d'indication de quête ou d'objectif autre que les cinématiques. Mais on comprend très vite ce qu'on doit faire via quelques indications visuelles plutôt évidentes. J'ai juste mis un peu de temps à capter la manière de bien gagner des pièces mais une fois que j'ai chopé le coup, il y a une dynamique qui s'est mise en place et le jeu est devenu assez plaisant J'ai passé un bon moment dessus. C'est assez, voire très addictif. L'ambiance années 80 de cinéma/série façon Stranger Things est cool, la musique aussi, c'est fun sans être trop compliqué ni frustrant. Et c'est vraiment très mignon et coloré dans le genre pixel art. Bonne pioche pour moi.
This is a "recommended if" game. The appeal of this whole series to us is local coop. Kingdom Eighties had no local coop support for a year+ after it's release and it now it was added so I bought it for 3.5€, simply because it was cheaper than 9.99€ for the Olympos DLC of Kingdom Two Crowns. Kingdom Two Crowns is a fantastic game and if you are looking for a one button strategic management base defense game to enjoy your with your loved one on couch coop, you should absolutely buy that game instead. It is far more content rich, more cohesive and intuitive in graphical design, and offers far more content in form of both free and paid DLCs that come with both a unique theme (Viking / Shogun / Olympos / Undead), weekly difficulty variants / challanges. In case you have 50 hours in that game and want something new, and you like the 80s, pop culture references and the general fantasy of Stranger Things, than think of Kingdom Eighties as a fun DLC for Kingdom Two Crowns to buy on sale. In every other case, buy Kingdom Two Crowns first. For the owners of any Kingdom games, here are the differences: * Theme, obviously * Missions: get specific items hidden somewhere on the "island" and deliver them to someone or somewhere to progress / unlock new things. * Generally much lower difficulty * Towers are now unmanned, easily customizable, but can be destroyed. * Farms are replaced with a wide variety of smalltown buildings where you invest gold to get some back (pizza place, arcade etc.) * NPCs follow you by default, can fight, and are invulnerable. They also teleport to where they need to be for upgrades. * There is a Paint level story cutscene between episodes (islands) with no voiceover. It feels like a "play once" campaign, and less of a sandbox like the previous campaigns of other games.
Необычное продолжение королей. В какой-то момент тебе кажется что этот вовсе не полноценная игра, а длс с новой историей, так как почему-то многие механики и интересности из прошлых частей просто вырезали. Несмотря на красивый визуал идея с наймом детей для работы и защиты своего города, выглядит немного странно. Спасибо что их жадность хотя бы не убивает, как это было в прошлых частях с крестьянами. Игра стала намного короче и прямолинейней, но добавили цельный сюжет и стилевых вставок в стиле 80-х. В принципе, лучше играть если вам и вправду зашли прошлые части королей и хочется еще немного, но с другим видом и вайбом ретро.
A fantastic iteration on the kingdom formula that's full of nostalgia and good feels. The gameplay is smooth and easy to get into. The story unfolds in a fun way. The music is gorgeous. The graphics are out of this world. Pick this up if you like the kingdom formula.
great game for play and chilling
pensei que ia ser melhor, ainda prefiro os jogos anteriores
玩起来最舒服的一集,优化了npc适合放在系列最后玩
I liked it a lot, the story is quite nice and i really liked the idea of playing as a team, all your friends are quite useful too, but i just beat the game on the highest difficulty and i don't think it was very balanced. Whenever you attack a portal on this difficulty, a huge amount of mobs comes out from it, this includes around 30 of the small guys, 3 - 4 big chungus and some of the crabs that charge at you, the game limits you at 2 knights (as far as i know anyways) and the archers that follow them, along with the robot, but this is not nearly enough, after every fight i had to retreat a bit to fix the dumpster, by the time return to the portal's range, i only get to attack 2 times before another huge wave comes out of the portal and it repeats again.. The last portal on chapter 4 was a slog to beat. But even so, the game is great just like the other kingdom games, but if you do not care about achievments, i would not recommend playing on the cursed difficulty

I really like the vibes. It's still K2C, but it's different and adds new game mechanics. I also enjoyed the story which is not complex, but it enhances the classic K2C experience.
