Do not play this while hungry. You will end up ordering a 20-piece nugget halfway through the final boss.

Chicken Invaders 8 is digital comfort food. It’s the gaming equivalent of putting on a worn-out hoodie and eating a grilled cheese sandwich. The controls are tight, the puns are painful ("Yolks on you!"), and the soundtrack is a banging mix of classical music and techno beats.

Let’s be honest. When you hear the words "Chicken Invaders," you probably get a sudden flashback to 2003. You’re sitting in front a bulky CRT monitor, hiding from your boss, furiously clicking a mouse to vaporize pixelated poultry with a weapon called the "Egg Kannon."
