The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing appreciation for the option to switch to the original chiptune soundtrack, which evokes nostalgia and enhances the gaming experience. However, some users criticize the remastered orchestral music for lacking variety and not being as memorable as the original tracks. Overall, while the inclusion of both soundtracks is a positive feature, players are encouraged to enable the original music for the best experience.
- “I am so glad that they had the option to have the original music.”
- “Whether you're dodging falling eggs or fending off waves of poultry invaders, the music enhances the gaming experience, adding an extra layer of excitement and intensity to each level.”
- “The production quality of the soundtrack is commendable, with each cluck, squawk, and futuristic sound effect meticulously layered to create an immersive sonic environment.”
- “The previously free option to turn on the classic music is behind a 50 key grindwall, and you can't disable several features to play with classic settings without grinding even more keys.”
- “No music during gameplay; having to fire about 15 shots to kill 1 chicken in the later levels is very fun, especially with how rare weapon upgrades are, so make a note to never die because otherwise run's dead, play the sequels instead.”
- “I think the remastered music stinks!”

The gameplay of Chicken Invaders 2 is characterized by its nostalgic, arcade-style mechanics that are both simple and engaging, focusing on shooting chickens and dodging their eggs.

- “The gameplay feels familiar in the best way possible—fast-paced, challenging, and ridiculously fun, especially with the revamped boss fights.”
- “At first glance, Chicken Invaders 2 captivates players with its retro-inspired gameplay and tongue-in-beak humor.”
- “The gameplay is awesome, the music is awesome (even though it's just 3 songs or more if you count the original music), and I love how there's a challenge mode (veteran mode) to make it harder.”
- “It still runs in 30fps with no way to change it (making the gameplay very jittery as a result), the playing field is unaltered (there are two big areas on top and bottom of the screen that you cannot move to, but enemies can) and the difficulty spikes & unfair moments are still present (good luck trying to get that no missiles achievement on veteran without losing your temper).”
- “Has no borderless or even windowed mode and the mouse cursor can go off screen causing you to accidentally minimize the game; other games in the series also have this problem but they aren't locked to 30fps and have much more fair gameplay.”
- “No music during gameplay, having to fire about 15 shots to kill 1 chicken in the later levels is very fun, especially with how rare weapon upgrades are, so make a note to never die because otherwise run's dead; play the sequels instead.”
