XSEED Games, along with Marvelous Europe, has announced when Cuisineer will be hitting the shelves for Nintendo Switch fans.
Developed by BattleBrew Productions, this game is a delightful mix of a rogue-lite adventure and a charming culinary experience. In Cuisineer, you step into the shoes of Pom, a young adventurer who comes back to her home in the quaint town of Paell. Her mission? To breathe life back into her family’s restaurant, which she finds in dire straits, both financially and operationally.
To get the restaurant back in business, you’ll need to embark on daring dungeon treks. The world around Paell is chock-full of culinary-themed obstacles, from oversized chickens to shrimp with some serious firepower, and even peppers that breathe fire! Defeating these comical creatures lets you gather unique ingredients, essential in transforming your shuttered eatery into a bustling culinary hotspot.
Here’s a sneak peek into the game’s exciting features:
Crafting Culinary Wonders: With a repertoire of over 100 international recipes, there’s something for every taste bud. Whether it’s crunchy Popiah rolls, the luscious sweetness of Kaya jam, or double-fried chicken that’s bursting with lemony zest, matching the right dish to your patrons is rewarding. Plus, there’s the fun of personalizing your kitchen and dining space with handcrafted pieces from local artisans.
Exploring Varied Dungeons: Venture through dynamic environments like the Green Ruins and Frozen Fjord. Each biome is procedurally generated, ensuring that every expedition feels fresh and new with shifts in size, shape, and the treasures you’ll uncover.
Flavorful Combat Mechanics: Get ready to unleash a mix of Salty, Sour, Sweet, Bitter, and Umami attacks, alongside Frosty and Toasty powers that can set enemies ablaze or poison foes. Whether you’re battling with a trusty Spatula or a formidable Swordfish, there’s a perfect utensil for every skirmish.
Building Relationships and Completing Quests: Paell is bustling with colorful characters, each with their own stories and requests. From Naicha, the lively Bubble Tea seller, to Alder, the ever-helpful carpenter, friendships in town are just as important as your culinary quests. Completing their tasks rewards you with gold, exotic items, and new recipes, enriching both your adventure and your menu.
Cuisineer is set to launch both in stores and digitally via the Nintendo eShop worldwide on January 28, 2025. Prepare to dive into this charming world where cooking and adventure go hand in hand.
