I stumbled into this game not expecting anything. Once I started going though, I was hooked. I love all the 80's pop nostalgia and Easter eggs hidden through out the game. I had never played a "tower defense" game in this style where it is all horizontal and didn't think it could work well. I am happy to say I was wrong in my assumption and this has become one of my all time favorite games. As much as I play the other Kingdom games now, I always come back to Kingdom Eighties. The soundtrack is also really well done. It's one of those "Just one more turn..." type of games where you will find yourself saying "Just a few more minutes...". I also love that I can play for 5 minutes or for a few hours. It's easy to jump in and out of and just kill some time, and greed! I just hope they release an expansion at some point. You can also sync your games to an account across Steam/ios/android if you grab it on other platforms. And yes, the campaign is short. Replay-ability is good if you don't mind the same story line and virtually no difference except in difficulty. But the survival mixtapes are certainly a challenge and allow for some diversity in the Greed and level layouts. At $12, you should be able to get more than your money's worth out of it. And when it usually goes on sale for $5.99 it is a steal.

Super fun game. The game mechanics are based on Kingdom two crowns (https://store.steampowered.com/app/701160/Kingdom_Two_Crowns/), but in addition you save your friends from school and then your parents and unlock new types of vehicles for the hero. Several hours of gaming fun guaranteed.

The game is mostly focused around the story. unlike the previous Kingdom games - Kingdom Eighties makes you go through dialog, cut scenes and character intros to continue on with the game. It can be quite annoying as I'm use to just being able to do whatever I wanted and go wherever in the previous games. It felt like I had fewer options in this one and less freedom to have fun with the game. On the other hand, the art style remains the same which is a huge relief - can't say the same about the cut scenes which feel rather odd and unusual for Kingdom games. Can't say that the characters in cut scenes are what i picture Kingdom characters to look like, but it's not completely terrible either. However, the monsters look just about the same. Few changes were made to make them suit the Eighties aesthetic and few new monsters were also added which i actually quite liked. Specially the crab one. Overall, the game is not bad. Definitely prefer the Kingdom Two Crowns and New Lands games over this one, but I still recommend playing this one to see for yourself what I was talking about. Maybe someone else would enjoy this more than me.

Another Kingdom game where you have to withstands nightly assaults by reinforcing and expanding your "kingdom". Unlike prior entries, this game has a story that actually unfolds as you progress through it. The MC is non-customizable. The biggest feature that I appreciated being implemented is the more refined companion/follower system. Companions don't get captured and they actively play a part in attacks. The companions combined with the new way you coordinate offensives against the portals is without a doubt the highlight of the game, now you can push portals to your hearts content using your own characters movement to guide the squad of attackers.

Ignore the reviews of people claiming this game is "woke". There is not a single woke thing about it, unless you consider the existence of POC inherently woke- in which case, do not play the game at all, because you're a jerk and don't deserve joy. The game itself is campy and fun, in the same world as the other games just in a more modern era featuring the descendant of the old monarchs who fought back against the greed. The story doesn't make much sense, but it's fun to get the cutscenes. You can tell a lot of love went into this game and the team had a lot of fun making it. You need to rethink your old approach to the old games - the main way to make coin here is chores, which can only be done by spreading your walls to keep those chore areas safe for kids to perform them. In some instances, you WANT to keep your recruits unassigned (in fact there's at least one mount that requires a bunch of jobless kids to even be possible to unlock), which makes the gameplay feel fresh and new with mechanics you already know but strategies you have to rethink. That being said, the game is very... very easy. The turrets you unlock on episode 2 make each nightly wave a joke, especially if you give them any amount of armor. Through all four episodes I think I only had a turret get destroyed once. I had enough fun that I'm going to replay the whole campaign on a more difficult setting and see how it's balanced again. But like, woke? No, unless you think black people existing is woke. If so, please go outside and touch some grass. The story is nothing special, but it's not some woke agenda. Anyone saying that is terminally online and running in the wrong crowds.
