Why play it

Ever wish you were a wall-jumping, arrow-dodging, trap-setting horse, besting your animal pals in a race through a peril-laden obstacle course that you all built together? Wish granted! Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party platformer where you and your friends build the level as you play, placing deadly traps before trying to reach the end of the level. If you can make it but your friends can't, you score points! Play online or locally with your animal buddies and experiment with a wide variety of platforms in all sorts of strange locations to find new ways to mess with your friends. Key Features: - Online and local play for up to 4 players - Cross-platform play between PC, PS4, and Switch - Unique game flow, from strategic block placement to twitch control platforming - 15 levels with different features - Build and share custom levels - Compete for global best times on Challenge levels across all platforms - Huge library of blocks to create an infinite variety of levels - Customizable rule sets and game modes - Shared controller mode to play multiplayer with one controller or keyboard - Play as a chicken, horse, sheep, raccoon and other wonderful animals - Fun, cartoony art style - Sweet funky soundtrack Please note: this is primarily a multiplayer game. Challenge levels can be created and played alone, but unlocking characters and levels requires playing one of the main game modes (like Party Mode) which are only multiplayer.

A party title with great visuals, sound, and gameplay, Ultimate Chicken Horse is a great combination of conniving strategy and frantic platforming. With plenty of modes to play, maps to customise, and unlocks to go for, Clever Endeavour Games' PS4 debut is as good for your wallet as it is for your sofa. An essential for any get together, the game's well-tuned mechanics lead to pure animania.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party game that should not be missed in your library. If you have at least one friend to play with and want to relax. Here you don't completely risk your friendship and you'll have moments of quality fun. Thanks to the ever-unlocking content, such as skins and maps, it will keep you coming back for more.

The fun of Ultimate Chicken Horse may be limited without others to play with, and its simple art design left a lot to be desired, but at $14.99, these are not good enough excuses to miss out on it. Single-player level creation games are intimidating and not for everyone, but with this particular multiplayer spin on it, you may find yourself to be more creative and thoughtful than you thought you were.

The style of Ultimate Chicken Horse is great and when it all comes together, it is a special brand of silly party gaming. Unfortunately, unless you find that perfect situation, the quality of the fun can vary wildly. So much of the amusement here is dependent on having the right people to play with. Find that setup and this is a madcap party game.

Ultimate Chicken Horse effortlessly combines level creation, solid platforming and brilliant multiplayer all into one fantastic package. It’s a game that continues to surprise and amuse in huge measures and if we do end up seeing a Super Mario Maker sequel in the future then Nintendo would be wise to take to note of what Clever Endeavour Games has accomplished here.

Lack of single player campaign or matchmaking for multiplayer are two major blows, but the ground work is there for a wonderful party game between friends.
