Game summary
Chicken Invaders needs no introduction.
Well, fine, if you insist. Chicken Invaders is the most successful chicken game of this millennium (not to mention the previous one). The game puts you at the forefront of a battle against invading intergalactic chickens, bent on revenge against the human race for our oppression of Earth chickens.
In Chicken Invaders Universe, you assume the role of a new recruit in the United Hero Force (UHF), mankind's last hope against the fowl Henpire. You start your UHF career deployed in some backwater galactic star system, and it's up to you to advance through UHF ranks and earn your place in the honorary annals of Heroes Academy. Travel across the galaxy, explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and exterminate any Henpire forces that cross your path. And do so in style.

Play Chicken Invaders Universe on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Chicken Invaders Universe on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
