Evaluation

Kingdom Eighties launched on June 26, 2023 as a story-based standalone expansion in the Kingdom series. The store description describes it as a "short story-based standalone expansion," indicating it was designed as a contained experience rather than an ongoing live game. After launch, the developer shipped one post-launch content update: the Survival Mixtapes mode on August 28, 2023, which added an endless wave survival mode alongside balance changes. Then, on February 10, 2025, a free local co-op update was released — the most recent and most substantial post-launch addition, bringing a new multiplayer mode to the game. All DLC (the Original Soundtrack and Art Book, both released on launch day) is fully released, and no unreleased DLC exists in the store listing. There are no announced future content plans, no roadmaps pointing forward, and no developer statements indicating further updates are in the works. The last developer communication was the February 10, 2025 co-op update post, and no posts since then have hinted at additional content. With the game described as a short, complete story experience, both post-launch additions now shipped, no outstanding commitments, and no communication since February 10, 2025, this game appears to be content-complete. Someone waiting for all content can play it now.

About this game

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?

Muster and Deploy the Neighborhood Watch

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.

Captivating story about something dangerous lurking in the shadows

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.

Pixels, Neon Lights and Synths

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.

Survival Mixtapes Mode

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!
