Kingdom Eighties in IOS

Summer of Greed

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

85/100

Kingdom Eighties is a stylish, nostalgic spin on the classic 'Kingdom' formula that swaps medieval knights for kids on bikes. If you're a fan of Stranger Things or The Goonies, you'll immediately fall in love with the neon-soaked pixel art and the synth-wave soundtrack. The gameplay remains focused on the series' core 'micro-strategy' of expansion and defense, but the addition of specific companion characters with unique abilities adds a fresh layer of tactical depth.

The game is more linear and story-driven than previous entries, which serves as a great entry point for newcomers. Watching your group of 'rad' kids build a base out of playground equipment and old tires to fight off the Greed is both charming and tense. While it's shorter than Kingdom Two Crowns, the high production value and the sheer atmosphere make it a journey well worth taking.

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.


Requires iOS 11.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
