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!

Ru: Игра Kingdom Eighties полностью повторяет легендарную Kindgom и Kingdom New Lands (а я как ветеран этих двух игр, могу точно об этом говорить) и это не то чтобы плохо, скорее наоборот, данная игра я бы сказал гораздо динамичнее проходит нежели оригинальное Королевство. Езда на "транспорте" претерпела положительные изменения: Восстановление выносливости внезависимости от локации при остановке. Да-да, для меня, как для человека любящего побегать по карте от края до края было огромным удовольствием восстанавливаться после долгой поездки и сразу же ехать с этой же скоростью дальше!.. Вернёмся к динамике игры: особенно прослеживается быстрая скорость прохождения на Лёгком (не мирном) уровне сложности, так как из-за независимости от РЫЦАРЕЙ (от которых была целая куча проблем в оригинале) имеется возможность зачищать карту от Порталов и закрыть основную задачу Локации без покупки этих практически бесполезных воинов. В особенности конечно же ещё мне очень понравилась сама особенность появления "друзей", которые буквально тащат собой всю игру (особенно Умник с его передвижным Лазером), ты буквально можешь не вербовать себе "БОЛЬШОЕ" количество детей, просто на 3 уровне после получения Умника ты создаёшь его оружие смерти и дальше уже никто не сможет встать у тебя на пути. Данная игра проходится за пару часов (если не будете играть на достижение 50+ дней на одной локации (~3ч20мин), то управитесь за 2-2.5 часа). Так как я просто обожаю получать достяги в Kingdom начиная с первых локаций (островов), я особенно порадовался, когда, буквально, заканчивая первую локацию, я уже прошёл треть от всех достижений. Желаю издателям и разработчикам продолжить развитие игры помимо создания Бесконечного режима, можно было бы придумать продолжение или альтернативную историю. Игра мне очень понравилась и я рекомендую к прохождению всем любителям мелких строителей/лучников, а также тем, кто обожает Старые игры по Kingdom. En: The Kingdom Eighties game is a complete rip-off of the legendary Kindgom and Kingdom New Lands (and as a veteran of these two games, I can speak with authority), but it's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I would argue that this game is much more dynamic than the original Kingdom. The transportation system has undergone positive changes, allowing you to restore your stamina regardless of your location when you stop. As someone who enjoys running around the map from one end to the other, it was a great pleasure for me to recover from a long journey and immediately continue at the same speed! Let's return to the game's dynamics: the Fast (non-peaceful) difficulty level is particularly notable for its fast-paced gameplay, as the independence from the Knights (which caused numerous issues in the original game) allows you to clear the map of Portals and complete the main objective of the Location without purchasing these virtually useless warriors. In particular, of course, I also really liked the feature of the appearance of "friends" who literally drag the entire game with them (especially the Smarty with his mobile Laser), you literally don't need to recruit a "large" number of children, as soon as you get the Smarty on the third level, you create his weapon of death, and no one can stand in your way. This game can be completed in a couple of hours (if you don't play for 50+ days in one location (~3h20min), you can complete it in 2-2.5 hours). Since I just love getting achievements in Kingdom starting from the first locations (islands), I was especially happy when, literally, by the end of the first location, I had already completed a third of all the achievements. I wish the publishers and developers to continue developing the game beyond creating an endless mode, and they could consider creating a sequel or an alternative story. I really enjoyed the game, and I recommend it to all fans of small builders/archers, as well as those who love old Kingdom games.
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
The shortest and possibly most fun (while it lasts) of the Kingdom games! Loved it. Approx. 4-6 hours of 80s goodness.
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.
玩起来最舒服的一集,优化了npc适合放在系列最后玩
pensei que ia ser melhor, ainda prefiro os jogos anteriores
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.
