How co-op works
Two local players share the story campaign, each riding through the same town to recruit children, collect and spend coins, expand defenses, and reinforce threatened sides. Both must prepare the neighborhood by day and withstand escalating Greed attacks at night.
About this game
Kingdom Eighties takes the micro-strategy formula of the Kingdom series and transplants it into a vibrant '80s suburb under siege. This standalone story expansion casts you as a local defender battling the Greed while uncovering family secrets. True co-op support means you and a partner can tackle the campaign together, coordinating defenses and resource decisions in real time.

The core loop revolves around building and upgrading your base, recruiting townsfolk, and managing limited resources to hold the line each night. Success depends on smart positioning, timely upgrades, and constant communication with your co-op partner as waves grow more aggressive. The '80s setting adds charm, but the challenge remains tactical and deliberate.
Local couch co-op lets two players share the screen, whether side by side or through Steam Remote Play Together. Expect tense coordination as you juggle expansion, defense, and exploration, making every session feel like a shared puzzle under neon lights.
