What The Hen!

Prepare for a hilarious, action packed tactical showdown in What The Hen!, a high energy strategy and lane defense game engineered by Charged Monkey. Blending elements of collectible card games with real time skirmishes, this title takes place on a chaotic family farm where an invading horde is trying to push past your borders. Your frontline defenders might just look like angry villager at first, but with a bit of mystical gold and strategic planning, they can stand up to massive bosses and mythical beasts.

How to Play & Energy Management

The core gameplay centers around timing and resource allocation. During each battle, an energy meter steadily charge from 1 to 10 at the bottom of your screen. Every character card in your custom deck cost a specific amount of energy to deploy onto the battlefield. While nimble, low tier villagers can be spammed quickly for low energy, massive tanks and devastating dragons require you to pool your resources. Additionally, each card features a unique cooldown timer, meaning you cannot throw the same hero back into the fray instantly.

The Controls

Deploying your army and triggering tactical abilities requires simple point and click actions, perfectly optimized for desktop and mobile play:

• Summon & Interact: Use your Mouse Cursor to click on the character cards at the bottom of the user interface to send them marching into the active lane. On mobile, a single tap on the Touchscreen triggers the summon.
• Menu Navigation: Left click or tap to navigate through your deck inventory, claim stage rewards, and purchase upgrades.

Collecting Cards and Evolving Heroes

What The Hen! features a massive progression system packed with over 100 collectible hero and heroine cards. Clearing levels and completing farm missions rewards you with chests containing duplicate cards and gold coins. Once you gather enough identical cards and matching funds, you can permanently evolve your characters—boosting their base health, upgrading their attack speed, and unlocking devastating passive skills to counter shifting enemy compositions.

Pro Tips for Lane Dominance

The biggest mistake new players make is flooding the battlefield with cheap, weak units right at the start of a match. High tier enemy waves can easily wipe out fragile squad with area of effect damage. Instead, wait for your energy bar to fully max out during the opening seconds. Deploy a high health tank unit first to absorb incoming damage, and then position ranged archers or spellcasters safely right behind them to clean up the horde without taking hits.
