Welcome to the magical neon world of “Kingdom Eighties”! A shimmering expansion to the iconic Kingdom series, this game takes you on a whirlwind adventure of strategy and neon-infused base building, reminiscent of the glory days of the eighties. The wind in your mullet, the pulse of neon lights, and the undeniable urge to buy a Rubik’s Cube – that’s the Kingdom Eighties experience!
MICRO-STRATEGY AT ITS FINEST
Delving into the heart of the game, players embody “The Leader,” a spirited camp counselor. The mission? Protect your town and your family from the ominous Greed, a mysterious force hell-bent on snatching away the treasured Crown of Creation. Why are they so greedy for this crown? Honestly, we’re still figuring that out. Recruit neighborhood kids, make them builders or soldiers (child labor laws are apparently lax in the eighties), and use your stash of coins to expand your kingdom. But remember, when night descends, the Greed goes full-on party crasher. Lose that crown, and it’s game over, man!
DIVE DEEPER INTO THE LORE
For those who’ve been jamming with the Kingdom series, “Kingdom Eighties” adds layers to the narrative, providing a richer understanding of the lore. Newbies, fear not! The story unravels itself, seamlessly introducing you to the gameplay mechanics. Whether you’re a Kingdom connoisseur or a neon newbie, there’s something here for everyone.
MEET, GREET, AND DEFEAT
Journey through the game and you’ll encounter a trio of buddies: The Champ, The Tinkerer, and The Wiz (not to be confused with your Aunt’s cat). Each companion has their own set of unique abilities. Use them to crack puzzles and navigate through levels. Think of them as the three musketeers of the eighties—just with more neon and less French.
EXPLORE, DISCOVER, REPEAT
While summer camp might kick things off, the game is so much more than marshmallows and ghost stories. Skateboard through parks, browse Main Street shops, and liberate the New Lands Mall from the Greedy grasp. With every location offering new secrets, who knew the eighties were so… expansive?
A VISUAL AND AUDITORY MASTERPIECE
The game boasts a pixel art style that’s both nostalgic and fresh, perfectly complementing the eighties theme. With a handcrafted design sprinkled with neon charm, it’s a treat for the eyes. And the ears aren’t left out either! Andreas Hald’s synthwave OST transports players to those dreamy summer days of the past when big hair ruled and adventure beckoned at every corner.
