XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have just announced when Cuisineer will make its way to the Nintendo Switch, and fans are buzzing with excitement.
Developed by the creative minds at BattleBrew Productions, this charming and deliciously themed roguelike dungeon crawler puts players in the role of Pom. She’s an adventurous young woman who takes on the challenge of running her family’s restaurant.
Upon returning to Paell, her quaint hometown, Pom is met with an unfortunate surprise. Her parents’ beloved eatery has shuttered and is drowning in debt. What’s a girl to do? Naturally, Pom decides to roll up her sleeves, reopen the place, and turn it back into a bustling success.
This adventure isn’t your usual restaurant tale. To gather the ingredients she needs, Pom must venture into dungeons filled with all sorts of quirky and dangerous creatures. Picture battling gigantic chickens and explosive shrimp with nothing but a trusty frying pan. It’s both lots of fun and a little bit wild.
The treasures you collect while exploring can be whipped up into delectable dishes, which might just be the key to making your rundown restaurant the talk of the town — and bringing a smile to her parents’ faces again.
As detailed by the publisher, here are some of the exciting features players can expect:
Craft Various Cuisines: With over 100 mouthwatering recipes to master, you can whip up everything from crispy Popiah rolls to rich Kaya jam. Whether you’re serving double-fried chicken or berry-topped desserts, making your guests happy is key. Upgrade your kitchen and dining area with the help of local craftsmen to enhance your service.
Dive into Diverse Dungeons: Take on the challenging biomes like the Green Ruins and Frozen Fjord. Each biome is procedurally generated, meaning they change every time you enter, keeping the adventure fresh.
Exciting Combat Flavors: Fight through foes with flavors like Salty, Sweet, and even Umami. Special powers bring elements like fire and lightning into your culinary-themed battles. Armed with distinctive kitchen gear, including spatulas and swordfish, you’re set to knock out any monstrous rival.
Local Quests: Get to know Paell’s vibrant townsfolk such as Naicha, the Bubble Tea guru, and Alder, the warm-hearted carpenter. While exploring, gather items they need and earn rewards like gold and new recipes, extending your culinary and adventurous escapades.
Mark your calendars! On January 28, 2025, Cuisineer will be available both physically and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch across the globe.
