Kingdom 8 is a minimalist strategy game created for Abyssal’s Pixel Game Jam #12, developed entirely using the fantasy console PICO-8. In a fragile medieval realm, you wear the crown — and every decision may tip the balance between popularity, military strength, and loyalty. Choose wisely... or face downfall.
Designed under strict creative constraints, Kingdom 8 embraces the nostalgic 8-bit look and feel. With just 128x128 pixels, 16-color palette, and 4 sound channels, PICO-8 forces designers to strip ideas down to their core — and this game takes full advantage of that.
Controls: Use arrow keys to navigate through your advisors and Z/X to make decisions.
You’ll interact with 4 royal advisors, each bringing their unique perspective to the throne room. Although the full lore includes 6 distinct figures, the current build focuses on the core dynamics between the available characters.
Can you maintain balance long enough to guide your kingdom to peace... or will history write your legacy in blood?

Is there a difference between advisors? I tend to see the same issue again and again
@Coko Yes, there is a different weighting for each attribute. When you choose an advisor, based on their profile, your decision will be weighted more heavily by one attribute.
