Chicken Coop Invaders

About Chicken Coop Invaders

Chicken Coop Invaders is a frenetic first-person shooter with tower defense mechanics developed by Miris Mind. Released on June 4, 2026, it’s a PC-only indie game where you play Lucas, a rancher defending his grandpa’s farm from alien invasions. The story revolves around Supremetoid, a space villain unleashing hordes of bizarre creatures like Chupacabras and Vespaliens to eradicate chickens. The game mixes fast-paced combat with strategic planning, players must shoot enemies while placing defenses, managing resources, and upgrading tools to survive escalating waves. With single-player focus and a goofy premise, it’s a chaotic blend of action and strategy for those who enjoy high-octane, hybrid gameplay.

Gameplay

You alternate between blasting aliens with guns and placing defensive structures like turrets or traps. Each level forces you to balance real-time shooting with tower management, as enemies swarm the farm. Controls are straightforward: aim and shoot with mouse/keyboard, while quick menu options let you deploy defenses or call in allied animals. The game demands constant multitasking, you’ll sprint to repair barriers, upgrade weapons between waves, and dodge explosive alien attacks. Early levels teach the basics, but later stages introduce tougher enemies and terrain hazards. Play sessions last 15, 30 minutes per level, with progression tied to earning coins for upgrades. The mix of action and strategy keeps tension high, though the learning curve can be steep.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 72% completion rate and average playtime of 12 hours. Community moods skew 60% enjoyment, 25% frustration, and 15% surprise. Critics praise the "wildly inventive enemy designs" but note "clunky UI during firefights." Achievement completion is 65%, with 25 total unlocks tied to upgrades and hidden items. Reviews highlight the game’s "addictive loop of upgrade-grind" but some call the difficulty spikes "unfair." One user wrote, "It’s like Left 4 Dead meets Plants vs. Zombies, if the zombies were giant chickens." Prices are currently $19.99, making it a budget pick for genre hybrids.

PlayPile's Take

A polarizing but ambitious mix of FPS and tower defense. It rewards quick reflexes and strategic thinking, but the steep difficulty and occasional UI hiccups may frustrate casual players. At $20, it’s a low-risk bet for fans of chaotic, hybrid gameplay. The 25 achievements and replayability through upgrade permutations add longevity. Skip if you dislike multitasking or unforgiving challenges. Otherwise, it’s a quirky, action-packed experiment worth trying.
