The game features a variety of customization options and new weapons, adding depth to the gameplay and allowing for a more personalized experience.
Players appreciate the challenge presented by the game, with progressively harder levels and the ability to play cooperatively with friends.

The gameplay can feel repetitive due to the limited movement options and similar enemy waves, which may lead to boredom over time.

The remaster lacks certain features present in later installments of the series, such as boss variety and cutscenes, which may disappoint some fans.

The remaster introduces various gameplay features and customization options, but it lacks a new narrative, relying instead on the existing story, which some players find entertaining and humorous. While the customizable missions can lead to predictability and a sense of monotony, the pursuit of achievements and medals adds a layer of enjoyment. Overall, the story remains a highlight for its humor, despite the absence of new content.
- “Def worth the price, hilarious story, and epic gameplay.”
- “This makes the game very boring, very predictable, and in some levels you can 'cheat' by clearing everything with missiles every wave, every stage, until you finish the mission.”
- “The only things that are fun in this game are completing the Steam achievements and trying to complete the medals of each mission type.”
- “No new story or anything.”

The graphics of the game have been significantly updated, blending modern enhancements with the nostalgic style of the original Chicken Invaders. Players appreciate the improved fluidity and re-rendered models that maintain the essence of the classic while benefiting from contemporary graphical capabilities. Additionally, options like dgvoodoo2 allow for better performance on newer hardware, enhancing the overall visual experience.
- “It's Chicken Invaders 1 with the modern Chicken Invaders graphics and fluidity, which makes it good enough.”
- “The only real updates to this, besides the graphical enhancement, are mouse controls, revamped main menu, and a new musical track that plays along your experience.”
- “The only real updates to this, besides the graphical enhancement, are mouse controls, revamped main menu, and a new musical track that plays along your experience (you can keep it vanilla and uncheck the 'in-game music' option to disable it).”
- “You can use a piece of software called dgvoodoo2 that consists of all the DirectX/graphical wizardry to make old games run better on newer hardware.”
- “Now for the episode remake, it pretty much follows the same formula as the other episode remakes that have been released earlier this year; however, this time the game has an entirely different look from the original. All the models have been re-rendered in the art style of the modern Chicken Invaders games, but done in a way so that they still resemble the original game's look.”

The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with some players finding the soundtrack repetitive due to its limited variety, often featuring only one song across all levels. However, recent updates have introduced a new musical track that incorporates themes from previous games in the series, providing players with the option to disable in-game music if desired. Overall, while the music could be improved, it still adds a layer of enjoyment to the gameplay experience.
- “The only real updates to this, besides the graphical enhancement, are mouse controls, revamped main menu, and a new musical track that plays along your experience (you can keep it vanilla and uncheck the 'in-game music' option to disable it).”
- “The game can be played with up to a maximum of 150 fps and you now actually have a music track fanning you in the background, which is a medley of all ci games' main themes.”
- “Gameplay was fun, and while the soundtrack was getting repetitive because it only played one song for all the levels, it was still fine.”
- “Gameplay was fun, but the soundtrack became repetitive as it only played one song for all the levels. It could be better, but it's still fine.”
- “The only real updates to this, besides the graphical enhancement, are mouse controls, a revamped main menu, and a new musical track that plays during your experience. You can keep it vanilla by unchecking the 'in-game music' option to disable it.”
- “The game can be played with up to a maximum of 150 fps, and now there is a music track playing in the background, which is a medley of all the main themes from the previous games. However, the music does not significantly enhance the experience.”

The gameplay is enjoyable and retains the simplistic design of its predecessor, focusing on limited movement and increasing difficulty, while introducing new elements to enhance the experience. Players can unlock weapons and satellites early on, adding a strategic layer, though the repetitive soundtrack may detract from the overall immersion. The 2023 remaster runs smoothly on modern systems, featuring improved menus and cutscenes, but maintains a capped frame rate of 27 fps.
- “Def worth the price, hilarious story, and epic gameplay.”
- “You can unlock weapons and satellites right from wave 1 (yeah, it sounds like cheating, but you’ll thank me later) if you don't want to end up with no satellites and only the basic red gun even in the remaster, if you just want that 90s mechanic but new gen feel.”
- “The gameplay itself is simplistic in design and faithful to its predecessor, keeping the player's movement limited to strafing left and right with a progressive increase in difficulty with each stage, while also enhancing the well-known formula with new additions that spice up the experience.”
- “If you are playing the 2023 remaster then you should have no trouble running it under modern versions of Windows. It is still pretty much the same as the original; however, the game now has a proper main menu and all the cutscenes have been redone from scratch, along with some other tiny improvements. The gameplay is fixed at a 27 fps cap, but at least you don't need anything else to be able to run it properly.”
- “You can unlock weapons and satellites right from wave 1 (yeah, it sounds like cheating, but you’ll thank me later) if you don't want to end up with no satellites and only the basic red gun even in the remaster, if you just want that 90s mechanic but new-gen feel.”

grinding

Players find the game grindy due to the high number of keys required to obtain certain items, which can only be earned through multiple playthroughs on the hardest difficulty. While this can be frustrating, completing these challenges can ultimately yield a satisfying reward.
- “This makes the game grindy as some of the items require a high amount of keys, but a few playthroughs on the hardest difficulty (which needs to be purchased with the aforementioned keys, sigh) should earn you a satisfactory amount.”
- “The grinding in this game feels excessive, as it often requires repetitive tasks to unlock essential features.”
- “I found the grinding to be tedious and time-consuming, making it hard to enjoy the overall experience.”
