About

Play as a lone soldier or team up with a friend in co-op mode to fend off feathered foes using an array of weapons from plasma guns to explosives. The game mixes fast-paced action with goofy sci-fi humor, tasking you with stopping a galactic chicken plot through checkpoint-based levels and boss fights. The series’ absurd charm carries over, with this entry adding new enemy types and power-ups. Steam users note it’s a cult favorite for its campy tone and addictive replay value, though graphics feel dated by modern standards. With a 72% user rating on Metacritic, it appeals to fans of retro-style shooters who don’t mind the over-the-top poultry puns.
