Chickenauts

Chickenauts is a companion-based, action roguelite. Blast your way through a massive, randomized alien mothership with an assortment of lethal, mutated chicken companions at your side. It all starts when some goshdarn pesky aliens land right outside your farm and abduct all your chickens to run all sorts of insane genetic experiments on them! Grab your gun and mutated chicken companion of mass destruction to teach these alien scum a lesson about trespassing and private property. Create unique companions of mass destruction with each run. While teaching alien scum a lesson or two, you’ll free, arm, and mutate various chicken companions, equally hell-bent on revenge and destruction. Each chicken companion is inspired by pop-cultural icons and brings very different traits and abilities. With multiple, stacking mutations to pick from along the way, you will create overpowered, game-breaking chickens of mass destruction on each run. Every run brings something different from the last. Fast and varied runs deliver short but intense sessions made up of compact, randomized rooms that take under a minute to clear. You’ll face multiple chicken abomination enemy types and bosses, ensuring no encounter is the same. Rooms, enemy spawns, plus all mutations, upgrades, and loot drops are all randomized, so each run is unpredictable and encourages experimentation. But failure doesn’t mean total defeat. Collected eggs, weapons, and unlocked companions all carry over when you go again. - Short but intense rounds.
