The hardcore action RPG The Last Chicken Fortress, developed by Savage Game, launched its Early Access version today (November 9th) at 3 PM. In a world where chicken-people are oppressed by "humans," players take on the role of an ordinary chicken-person, seeking survival in the arena and embarking on a rebellious journey to become the Chicken King.
As an innovative hardcore action RPG, the game blends elements of survival, strategy, and puzzle-solving. In The Last Chicken Fortress, each weapon has only one move, but victory depends on more than just quick reflexes. You need to observe enemy movements, time your attacks, and keep an eye on the number of combatants and items on the battlefield. Enemies will also search for medicine and pick up equipment. Will you engage head-on, or use the environment to find opportunities? Only by understanding the situation can you secure a path to survival.
From surviving in the arena to leading the chicken-people in rebellion, The Last Chicken Fortress places a somewhat absurd adventure into the hands of players. The game is now offering a bi-weekly discount, limited to 10% off, bringing the price down to 59.4 yuan. Welcome to Steam to get the Early Access version, or add the game to your wishlist. The fate of the chicken-people awaits your rewrite!
Ten years in the making: How did these chicken-people come to be?
The story of The Last Chicken Fortress begins in 2018. At that time, the project had a rather serious name: Grand Narrative. By 2021, the team redesigned the story and concept, transforming the project into today's The Last Chicken Fortress. From its initial inception, this work by a core team of about five people has undergone approximately eight years of development.
The lead producer, Xiaoting, hails from Chongqing. When asked why he wanted to create The Last Chicken Fortress, Xiaoting gave a simple answer: gamers often have a world in their minds that they wish to step into personally. He wanted to bring his ideas to life, "to see if anyone could find resonance and joy in them." This vision is reflected in the game's interactive design: allowing players to discover new solutions and enjoyment through different interaction methods within familiar combat and exploration scenarios.
Now, this project, which evolved from Grand Narrative into a story of chicken-people resistance, is finally here. During the Early Access phase, the game still has many areas to improve and content under development. Xiaoting expressed his hope that players will provide more feedback on their gameplay experience, which he will use to continually polish the game and refine future content.
Game Features
Hardcore Combat Based on Countering Moves
The game adopts a minimalist and pure combat design, with each weapon having only one move. The core of combat lies in observing enemy actions and timing your strikes. The logic for both player and enemy is completely symmetrical; enemies can also search for medicine and pick up available equipment nearby. Battlefield conditions change rapidly, and simple moves evolve into vastly different combat experiences depending on the environment and number of participants. By understanding the rules, you can uncover more ways to win.
Unique Interactive Experience
Distinct from traditional ARPGs, The Last Chicken Fortress features numerous cleverly designed interactive mechanisms, offering a refreshing gameplay experience. A single set of interaction logic applies to combat, exploration, and NPC interactions. Understanding and mastering these rules will help you achieve your game objectives.
Stronghold Management and Chicken Clan Cooperation
In the latter half of the story, you can recruit mercenaries to accompany you, assisting with cargo transport and fighting alongside you. After capturing strongholds, use civilian houses to produce chicken-citizens and organize the production of military equipment and armor. Human attack squads will continuously raid chicken villages; use previously produced goods to arm your chicken-citizens and protect your homeland!
