Windows Phone Game Review: Chicken Invaders 3

Chicken Invaders 3 for Windows Phone

Chicken Invaders iii is an arcade game for your Windows Telephone that is designed in the tradition of archetype arcade games such as Infinite Invaders and Galaga. The central difference existence that instead of battling conflicting space ships, yous face hostile infinite chickens.

Graphically, the game is very appealing and the game play is somewhat challenging. Yous dodge a barrage of eggs, asteroids and treasure chests every bit y'all piece of work you lot style to battle the diverse bosses of the game. Send navigation can be a little tricky merely overall, Chicken Invaders three is worth giving that trial version a go.

The storyline of Craven Invaders 3 has intergalactic chickens invading World, seeking revenge for the oppression of their earthly brethren. Colonel Sanders is in large problem! Your job is to take the fight to space and defend the planet and our power to enjoy a bucket of extra crispy.

The Main Menu with Chicken Invaders 3 has options to launch the game or view the gaming options. Game options include controls choices, graphics levels, audio, language and access to local leaderboards. The ane glaring detail missing from the options carte is a aid screen. It'south not a complicated game to figure out but some aspects take a fleck to empathise.

When you lot get to launch a game, you'll showtime see an options screen where you can continue a paused game or get-go a new mission. When you start a new mission, you choose which gaming level you want to compete at (rookie, veteran, superstar hero). You can besides view your career achievements from this screen which includes medals, statistics and unlockables earned.

Once you set your game options and are sent into the game, you'll run through a serial of story boards (y'all can advance past borer the screen) to eventually get to the gaming screen. The layout of the gaming screen has your score and weapons status in the upper left corner. In the lower left corner are your vital stats including lives, bonus missiles, and chicken parts collected. There is a lightning commodities that I have yet to effigy out what it measures.

The object of the game is simple, smash the chickens and other obstacles out of the sky. Y'all can move your send by one of ii means (set in the options). You lot can choose the elevate setting where you tap, hold and drag your send around the screen. At that place is also the tap setting where you tap the screen where you want your ship to move to. With the tap setting you end up dragging your finger around so I found choosing the drag setting works the best.

One quick ascertainment on moving your ship is that at times your finger gets in the fashion. You've got to get used to the motion controls and having your finger in the middle of things, only it doesn't take long.

Firing your send's weapon is accomplished by borer the screen. You also can rapid burn down by borer/holding the screen. Every bit you fire your weapon it will begin to estrus. The weapons status in the upper left corner is a bar meter that increases as your weapon starts to overheat. If your weapon overheats, you'll have to await a few seconds for it to cool downward before you lot can resume firing.

The chickens come at you in waves flying into the gaming field much like the aliens practise in the game of Galaga. Once they line upwardly in formation, they will begin to drop eggs. While you tin blast the chickens into oblivion, you lot can not shoot the eggs. The challenge with the eggs is that they are a) dull moving and b) so small they often blend in with everything else that is going on. This makes them easy to forget about and easy to fly into.

Periodically, you will face challenges other than the chickens such as an asteroid field and a barrage of treasure chests. You volition besides find weapons boosts fall after y'all blast a target that will give your weapons system a nice little spark.

Along with your primary weapons organization you also have the opportunity to earn bonus missiles. These missiles will launch from your ship and destroy everything that is on the screen. How do you earn these missiles? When you lot have out a chicken, they explode into fried chicken pieces and chicken sandwiches. Collect l of these chicken parts and you earn a bonus missile.

All in all, I liked Chicken Invaders 3. You lot have an arcade game with quality graphics and plenty of challenges. The transitions between levels/stages can be a little on the lengthy side and the lack of a help department tin can exist a piffling frustrating.

There is a free trial version available for Chicken Invaders to let you effort before you purchase it. If you're a fan of arcade games, Craven Invaders 3 is well worth a try. The full version of Chicken Invaders 3 is running $ii.99 and you can detect it hither at the Windows Telephone Market.
