Kingdom Eighties (2023) | Gameplay Review (PC)
The Good:
Strategy and management mechanics
Interesting nostalgia-driven universe
Impressive soundtrack
The Bad:
Gameplay will get repetitive
Some unclear objectives
The four core characters need a little more personality
Conclusion:
Kingdom Eighties will satisfy any players who picked up one of the previous installments in the series and appreciates its indirect strategy concept. The four main characters are pretty cool, the rest of the kids do great work chopping down trees and battling demons, and the presentation is impressive in how well it evokes the ‘80s.
The action is sometimes a little slow, and relying on others to act can lead to some frustration. Still, the universe of Kingdom Eighties is so nice, and the nostalgia vibes are so strong that it’s worth investing time to experience both its mechanics and narrative.
