Get ready to dive into the whimsical world of Cuisineer, a charming roguelite dungeon crawler developed by Marvelous, XSEED Games, and BattleBrew Productions. It’s making its debut on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 on January 28, and it’s one not to miss!
Imagine this: You’ve just returned to your quaint hometown of Paell, only to discover that your parents’ beloved restaurant is shuttered and drowning in debt. The only way to save it? Reopen the eatery and transform it into a bustling success. To do that, you’ll embark on thrilling dungeon adventures, of course!
Embark on quests beyond the boundaries of Paell, battling a quirky assortment of foes with your cooking tools—from giant chickens to artillery-wielding shrimps, and even fiery peppers. Keep your energy high with refreshing boba tea as you conquer these culinary escapades.
Scavenge for ingredients throughout the land, then bring your bounty back to whip up spectacular dishes. Your goal? Transform your run-down restaurant into a thriving hotspot that would make any parent proud. But beware of the lunchtime crowd as it can get hectic!
