Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a large open world may find the structure limited to over 13 levels in a semi-open setting
- Players who prefer progression without penalties may dislike losing upgrades to debt collection after defeat
- Players looking for a serious tone may not want a campaign centered on outrageous humor and pop-culture satire
Our take on Cyber Chicken
Debt is part of progression: unpaid credits can lead to upgrade repossession after defeat, adding a financial penalty to otherwise conventional platforming and weapon upgrades.
What is Cyber Chicken?
Cyber Chicken is a side-scrolling 2.
5D adventure set across a semi-open world, following a cybernetic chicken battling a revolt in a future version of New York City. Combat uses a multi-weapon arsenal and more than 45 upgrades, while movement includes double-jumps, dashes, ground-stomps, and wall-jumps. The game includes over 13 levels, puzzles, and new-area access tied to upgrades. Credits can buy improvements, but unpaid debts trigger The Collector, who repossesses upgrades after defeat. The campaign presents satirical humor, comic-book styling, voice acting, and 40 original soundtrack tracks. Mouse and keyboard or controller input is supported, with rebindable controls.
