Our take on Fat Chicken
The reverse-defense structure trades conventional enemy elimination for production management, so players spend more attention on feeding, staffing, and meeting quotas than on placing defenses against a standard attacking force.
What is Fat Chicken?
Fat Chicken reverses the tower-defense formula by placing the player in charge of a factory farm.
Towers supply feed and water to incoming animals, while upgrades increase their operating efficiency. Hired farm hands and hero units herd, assist, and heal livestock as production targets are met. The campaign covers 13 locations across the United States and includes 26 levels. Missions unlock additional equipment and farm improvements through the R&D department. The farm also employs armed security to repel protesters, with UFO encounters adding another threat. Progression focuses on increasing animal value and production output. The game includes 17 original soundtrack tracks composed by Jason Graves.
