North Carolina Based Indie Game Developer and Publisher Teams, Relevant Games and Mighty Rabbit Studios have brought you ‘remixed’ tower defense game, which is now available on PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam Early Access. You may have heard of games from Mighty Rabbit Studios, which include games like; Saturday Morning RPG, Breach &Clear, Breach & Clear: Deadline, and from Relevant Games; Scrap Squad. There is a special promotion until October 24th, where all three different Early Access Fat Chicken bundles will be given a 15% discount. Early Access allows you to pre-order the game, then get to test it out in the early to near-final stages of the game, before the final comes out.
In Fat Chicken, you will get to play the role of a factory farm manager, where you will instead of blowing stuff up before it gets to the end, you will be plumping up the incoming waves of livestock as they make their way towards the slaughter house. Once plumped up, and processed through the slaughterhouse, they will be turned into tasty meat products, and then you will get to earn some money, or as its called in the game, Murderbux.
Even though you aren’t blowing things up in this ‘remixed’ version of tower defense, you still need to build factory farms across America, using multiple tower types and upgrades in order to keep your livestock healthy, happy and safe. Though there will be times you need to keep an eye out for the UFO’s because they are always trying to ruin things as they march towards your grocery store freezer cases, therefore you would need to shoot them down. “Hired Hands and Security Guards provide boosts to keep your operations running smoothly; speeding up breeding, fighting protesters, healing sick animals and more as you rake in the cash from your fatted fowl, plump pigs and behemoth bovines.”
