Indie Roguelite Shooter 'Chickenauts' Out on Steam Early Access!

March 3rd, 2026 | Warsaw Poland - Untold Tales, Sneaky Box and Kautki Cave have announced that Chickenauts - the indie roguelite shooter - is out now on Steam Early Access. 

Originally, the game was planned to launch on March 5th, but then a whole bunch of massive games decided they wanted to do the same, so we collectively said "Yeah cluck that.", chickened out and moved it to March 3rd.

Chickenauts is a companion-based, action roguelike where you will blast your way through a massive, randomized alien mothership with an assortment of lethal, mutated chicken companions at your side.

The game is available for 5.99 USD / 5.99 EUR /  5.49 GBP /  24.99 PLN along with an additional 20% off for the first 14 days.

Bringing A Mother Clucking A-Bomb to a Knife Fight

While teaching alien scum a lesson or two, you’ll free, arm, and mutate various chicken companions, equally hell-bent on revenge and destruction. Each chicken companion is inspired by pop-cultural icons and brings very different traits and abilities.

With multiple, stacking mutations to pick from along the way, you will create overpowered, game-breaking chickens of mass destruction on each run. 

Egg-citingly and Unpredictable Runs

Every run brings something different. Fast and varied runs deliver short but intense sessions made up of compact, randomized rooms that take under a minute to clear.

You’ll face multiple chicken abomination enemy types and bosses, ensuring no encounter is the same. Rooms, enemy spawns, plus all mutations, upgrades, and loot drops are all randomized, so each run is unpredictable and encourages experimentation.

But failure doesn’t mean total defeat. Collected eggs, weapons, and unlocked companions all carry over when you go again.

Game Features

• Short but intense rounds. Each room takes under a minute to clear.
• A collection of pop culture-inspired companions with different abilities
• Mutate companions with randomized, stacking abilities on each run.
• Multiple enemies and boss types
• Randomized rooms, enemy spawns, mutations, upgrades, and loot drops
• Make progress with each run.
