After playing quite a bit of Stardew Valley over the years, I’ve experienced a fair share of chicken craze. But here’s the thing: none of them dropped bombs. Ever. Why am I bringing this up? Well, Bomb Chicken... lays bombs instead of eggs. All the time! Doesn’t jump either, stacking bombs to reach high places instead. A completely insane creation and I love it.
I’m sure someone out there is crying bloody murder right now, at the thought of a massively overweight chicken laying bombs. Here’s why such a reaction is even more ridiculous than what’s going on in Bomb Chicken: it’s a video game. No poultry is getting harmed by crazy scientists (at least, not outside the game). Plenty of bad guys are about to meet their untimely demise at the hands of this funky chicken, however, on a platforming crusade against… Blue Fried Chicken.
Discover the darkest kept secret of the fast food giant known as BFC, their best selling addictive blue hot sauce, and answer the ultimate question: Which came first the chicken or the bomb?
Prior to watching the trailer and doing a bit of digging for details on this former Switch exclusive, I honestly had no idea just how many uses bombs have: a makeshift ladder, a shield against enemy attacks, kicked and bounced onto unsuspecting evil henchmen (that’s how I see them, anyway), perhaps even as a weight. Because there are times when even the fattest chicken isn’t enough. Or some such.
So, are you chicken enough to drop bombs and explore the hazardous, pixellated environments that make up Blue Fried Chicken’s headquarters? Also, something about a mysterious blue sauce. I don’t know anymore. This is as weird as it gets. I think. Maybe not. I hope not. Bombs away!
Bomb Chicken is available on Switch and Steam, carrying a $14.99 price tag.
