XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have officially announced when Cuisineer will be launching on the Nintendo Switch, and it’s stirring up quite the anticipation.
BattleBrew Productions crafted this charming and delightful roguelite dungeon crawler. You step into the shoes of Pom, a budding adventurer who’s taken an unexpected turn into the culinary world.
Pom returns to her quaint hometown, Paell, only to find her family’s beloved restaurant shuttered and drowning in debt. Determined to put things right, she takes on the challenge of reopening the eatery and transforming it into a bustling success.
To achieve this, Pom must embark on daring expeditions into dungeons. In the untamed wilderness surrounding Paell, she’ll have to face monstrous foes like giant chickens, artillery-equipped shrimps, and fiery peppers, using nothing but her trusty cooking tools.
All the ingredients she gathers on her journeys will play a crucial role in crafting delectable dishes, helping bring her dilapidated restaurant back to life and making her parents proud.
The publisher has highlighted some standout features of the game, including:
Craft Your Own Delicious Culinary Experience: Dive into creating over a hundred recipes spanning global cuisines—from crunchy Popiah rolls to luscious Kaya jam, alongside classic dishes like double-fried crispy chicken with a citrus twist and berry-laden treats. Serving the perfect dish to the right customer is key, as is curating a unique kitchen and dining space with touches from local artisans.
A Smorgasbord of Dungeons: Embark on adventures across diverse, ever-changing terrains like the lush Green Ruins, the icy expanse of Frozen Fjord, and the whimsical Konpeito Swamps. Each visit promises a different layout and fresh resources.
Master the Flavors of Fighting: Engage in combat, wielding powers flavored Salty, Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Umami, Frosty, and Toasty to unleash abilities like fire, poison, and lightning. Arm yourself with creative cookware weapons such as Spatula, Smackerel, Swordfish, and Tenderiser.
Take Quests to Go: Meet the eclectic residents of Paell, from Naicha, the bubbly Bubble Tea vendor, to Alder, the amiable carpenter. Each encounter during your dungeon dives offers opportunities to find items the townsfolk desire, rewarding you with gold, new treasures, and a wealth of additional recipes to refine your culinary and adventuring prowess.
Mark your calendars for January 28, 2025, when Cuisineer hits the market both physically and on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch, available to gamers worldwide.
