![]() If you decide to place your plank in an easy to reach location that aids in getting from start to finish, you’re a hero and everyone will give you an approving, manly nod. In giving the players the task of placing obstacles and helpful platforms, the developers have created a monster in all of us. Either way, whatever you’ve got needs to be placed on the map, and depending on where you place your item, it may make life difficult for everyone – yourself included. It may be a harmless yet useful plank of wood, or it could be a deadly chainsaw. It sounds simple but I haven’t finished explaining yet. At the start of the game each player has an object which they must place somewhere between the start and the finish line. Rather than race your opponents to the finish, Ultimate Chicken Horse has you actively hindering them by way of the level design. Not by the long shot of the beer bottle being flung across the room. First one there wins! Oh but it’s not as simple as that. Here you and your cohorts will attempt to make it from one end of the screen to the other. The game’s best and most-frequented mode is Party.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, with a Switch release coming at a later date.Ultimate Chicken Horse is madness. ![]() There’s something about the randomness of it all, and relying on the courtesy of others not to screw everyone over, and then watching them lay that spike trap to do exactly that, is where the magic of this game comes from.” These moments and many others like them were had in Party Mode. Having the same arrow turn myself and another player online into a raccoon-horse shish kabob became the highlight of the night. “Watching a friend fall to a platform, only to be perfectly gutshot in midair by a hockey puck had me nearly falling out of my chair in a fit of laughter. In particular, the team really enjoyed Party Mode and the absolute hilarity and insanity that ensues when you put friends together in a room with a competitive multiplayer game: PlayStation Universe got their hands – or rather, their paws and hooves – on Ultimate Chicken Horse, the party platformer by Clever Endeavour Games where friends build the level as they play, and the verdict is in: they’re big fans.Ĭalling it “a special game, and one of those rare indie multiplayer games that catches lightning in a bottle,” PlayStation Universe had a fantastic time laying traps and competing with each other to be the last man, er, animal standing, on all fours and two legs alike!
