Moorhuhn Pirates Demo

Moorhuhn Pirates is no longer supported, so it is now impossible to purchase the application. Nonetheless, you can still download it from Softpedia and use it with the limitations listed on this page.

Shooters are usually designed to increase your adrenaline level as much as possible, by making it your goal to survive a constant onslaught of enemies. Whether it’s Quake, Wolfenstein or any of the other popular games in the genre, the similarities are striking, even if the underlying theme is different every time. On the other hand, you can also just have fun with the concept and replace the monsters with chickens.

Moorhuhn Pirates is a bit different than your usual shooter, especially when it comes to the theme and the way the action unfolds. Hence, instead of having to walk through room after room littered with enemies, you can just sit back, relax, and try to shoot the chickens that wander across the screen. Naturally, it’s all in the name of fun, because everything about the game is silly and amusing.

To begin with, the chickens are dressed as pirates and they display every stereotype you might have heard about. Wooden legs, parrots on their shoulders, eye patches and black flags with skulls on them are all part of the formula, so you should have plenty of fun shooting them. Even if you are technically using a shotgun to decimate chickens, there is no graphical violence involved, so the game is safe for everyone.

The ultimate goal of the game is to gain as many points as possible, in order to receive a place in the hall of fame. Each chicken is worth a specific amount of points, depending on the speed at which it flashes across the screen, or its distance from the shooter. However, special costumes are also worth more points, so you should keep your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary.

Speaking of which, the graphics engine is cartoonish and hilarious, especially when it comes to the chickens and the environments. Each island is filled with cliches regarding pirates, including sailing ships waving black flags, dark caves filled with treasure, and a few sharks to animate the atmosphere. The sound effects are funny as well, although they get repetitive if you overextend your stay.

While Moorhuhn Pirates is clearly not the type of game that can be played for hours on end, it can be the distraction you need when you have a few minutes to spare. The gameplay is simple enough for anyone to understand and master, which makes it a good choice for every kind of gamer.
