About CluckFront

Closed alpha — access by invitation. CluckFront already supports online matches. The current build is available only to invited testers; the public demo has not been released yet.

The chickens mutated. The harvest became ammunition.

CluckFront is a top-down PvP loot shooter where chicken fighters settle disputes over seeds and high ground with homemade weapons. Beneath the stylized visuals, these are fights to the death — and the feathers will fly!

SERIOUS CHICKENS. TACTICAL FIREFIGHTS.

Choose a class with its own stats and customize your fighter in the menu. Find your weapons on the map and improvise. Claim the high ground, flush rivals out of cover or retreat when a fight turns against you. An explosive barrel can settle a territorial dispute with a bang.

From a top-down view, aim and fire up or down: defend elevated positions against attacks from below or assault a rival dug in above you. Height, your angle of attack and your escape route can change the course of a firefight.

Take a mortar from the fort's guard bots or other players. It fires explosive-filled eggshell rounds. Get your wings on one, seize the fort's high ground and turn the battle around.

THREE MAPS. THREE WAYS TO WIN.

Fight in the ruined fort, on a compact farm arena and in a multilevel grain storage facility with battles above and below. All three modes are available on every map:

  • Loot Race — bank it or lose it. Collect seeds and deliver them to chests around the map. Risk a bigger haul or make several smaller deliveries before a rival knocks the loot out of you. The first to bank the required total wins.
  • Bounty Hunt. Be the first to reach the required number of player kills.
  • Survival. Be the last chicken standing on the map.

Play on online servers or over LAN: 1v1, 2v2, four-player free-for-all and 4v4. Settle scores with friends or put a team together.

PLANNED FOR THE FIRST DEMO

The trailer and screenshots show an early playtest on the ruined fort map with pea shooters, popcorn guns, mortars and explosive barrels. CluckFront is in development: visuals and content are not final, and more is planned for the demo. The public demo is not available yet.

  • An expanded arsenal: we plan to add a carrot rocket launcher, peanut shotgun and rice machine gun alongside the existing pea shooter, popcorn gun and mortar. Explosive barrels will remain part of the fight, too.
  • New skins to customize your chicken fighters.

We aim to release the first demo in the coming months. The date will be announced separately.

Wishlist CluckFront and follow preparations for the first demo on Discord and the game's Steam page.
