This Chicken Got Hands, and he really, really does… out now on iOS and Android
- This Chicken Got Hands is exactly what it says on the tin
- Play a chicken driven to destruction by the theft of its eggs
- Crash, bash and smash your farmer’s property to pieces
It seems that it’s now in vogue to cast the player in the role of various seemingly innocuous animals driven to violence. Whether that’s Squirrel With a Gun, Goose Game or Goat Simulator, it seems that some believe all farm animals are one bad day away from snapping. And in the case of This Chicken Got Hands that’s very much the case!
Now, I’m not about to pretend that the thing which caught our attention about This Chicken Got Hands wasn’t the title. Because in itself it’s not exactly all that exceptional. Put simply you race around a 3D-rendered farm (which does look fairly nice) taking out a variety of targets to annoy and inconvenience the farmer who’s stolen your eggs.
You’ll race against the clock, and upgrade your stats and abilities while using a variety of moves in fast and frenetic chicken-based action. And while the graphics can seem a bit over the top (depth of field anyone?) it does look to be quite fun.
How much?!
However, I think the only thing that stood out to me was the fact that, when reading through the store listing, there was some information on in-app purchases that shocked me. Usually, we don’t discuss those of course, but when it lists the range of them going from £0.99 in our local price to a whopping £38.99, it certainly warrants mentioning!
Exactly what that’s for is anyone’s guess, but it does make me wonder what this frenetic flight of a feathered fiend for freedom is hiding.
Still, in the meantime if you want to find some other top releases why not check out some of our reviews? Catherine Dellosa recently dug into the card-shop simulator Kardboard Kings and found it both fun, and a bit wanting in certain areas.
