The Kingdom series from Fury Studios (owned by Swedish company Raw Fury) is known for its beautiful side-scrolling adventure and micro-strategy games, primarily set in fantasy and medieval-inspired environments.
However, the latest standalone expansion, Kingdom Eighties, takes place during the vibrant 80s. The loyal steed has been replaced with the obligatory BMX bike, while harps and lutes have given way to synth tones.
The goal is to protect an American small town from monsters called “Greed.” To accomplish this, players must recruit neighboring kids and together build up the town’s defenses before nightfall. Players can discover new technologies, bikes, and weapons, and their companions have unique abilities that must be used to solve the game’s puzzles.
Kingdom Eighties has been available on PC for a few days now and will also be released on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 later this year.
