App Store Editors’ Notes

Very good but shorter

The Kingdom series thus far has been fun. Indie feel with a sense of urgency as you try to get ready for the Greed and conquer. Kingdom Eighties is more nostalgic than the preceding games, but at the same time felt shorter and, perhaps, lower quality. I was not a fan of the added animation (but I would not be surprised if others disagree). All in all, I recommend all three games, but I don’t know that this one represents a “maturing” of the series.

Ugh why

Why do people hype these games, they’re so bad at the actual gameplay. Tutorial doesn’t explain the mechanics other than go here, slide finger down….ok WHY am I adding coins here? Then the mobs just show up randomly without explanation, during day, night whatever whenever without any instructions on defense. Then upgrades are so frustrating, add 5 coins to bike, oh wait now ADD 2 MORE… what does this bike even do? Oh guess what, now that you bought this bike you don’t have enough to defend yourself, oh not frustrating enough? Let me spawn enemies on BOTH sides of you and not explain how to get out of that situation. Oh also let’s teach the player that the crown is their hp but we won’t actually say that anywhere…. +1 extra star for the cool animations but - stars for all the reasons above. Redo your dang tutorial, this is the 3rd of your games I have but they all are play-once-uninstall-forever worthy.

A Love Letter to 80s pop Culture Enthusiasts!

This is by far my favorite app game I’ve ever played. I typically don’t buy games for my phone because they aren’t good or lose their appeal quickly. I find myself playing this game over and over and over again. If you like the other Kingdoms game, and are also a child (or fan) of the 80s, this game is a no brainer. Buy it now. AND go buy the soundtrack. It’s calm 80s background music with no vocals that I listen to often. Truly grateful for this game and wish they would release a sequel, dlc, or maybe even a 90s version. I could see that being a blast too!

big fan, but need bug fix

So i migrated from Steam to here. best game i have ever played, slam dunk the whole kingdom two crown plus all the expansion. and played the eighties on Steam. but as expected, the first version is got major bugs. played cursed level and got stuck in the first map after beating all the portal plus grabbing the canoe in the cave. no boat is brought to the dock, and got trapped in the cave after the second time entering the cave and can’t get out after the second entry. need fix

Great fun for Kingdom veterans

Have played three Peaceful games so far and am delighted with the story and execution. It's very fun! Good to play a variation that's familiar but different enough from the other Kingdom games. I'm playing on an iPad Pro and it works great except for the the huge initial zoom level, which truncated tutorial text. Great job and look forward to more Kingdom variations. I can't get enough.

Love this series and the game

The story was fun, but to short. The replay ability is not really there. The remix is ok and all but I need some more games play. Can you add some DLC’s to the game. I want to keep playing it but, I end up choosing to skip this game and go back to playing two crowns instead or a different game in my downloads. Let’s get some DLC’s and I’m buying it.

Obsessed w/ design

The design of the soundtrack, the pixel graphics, the dramatic cutscenes. It feels like the writers and designers had fun. And I can feel it with each replay I do. Now, I just play it religously when I’m bored on cursed mode. It’s meditative at this point. Not exaggerating.

More of What you Love

Same formula, minimal instruction and you spend your play figuring out new ways to survive longer. Campaign is simple but survival can be deeply challenging. I hope we get more expansions soon.

Well it happened again. I'm reviewing a game that Jared picked as our Game of the Week. I'd like to believe this is because we see the...
