What is Kingdom Eighties?

A side-scrolling strategy game set in a 1980s town. You recruit neighborhood kids, collect coins, build defenses, and repel nightly attacks by monsters seeking your family's crown. The story moves between areas, and a separate survival mode has you defend against increasingly difficult waves.

For you if...

  • +you like building defenses against nighttime monster attacks
  • +you want a story-led game with an 1980s setting
  • +you want to defend a base in local co-op

Not for you if...

  • −you want open-ended building instead of a linear story
  • −you dislike dialogue-heavy cutscenes between rounds of defense

What players say

75% of 3,246 reviews are positive · 76% of 38 in the last 30 days

Players praise the pixel art, synth music, and changes to familiar Kingdom mechanics, including companions and turrets. The most common complaints are that the campaign is short, the strategy feels less varied than in other Kingdom games, and normal difficulty is too easy.
