XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have teamed up to bring Cuisineer to the Nintendo Switch, eagerly setting its release date.
Developed by the imaginative minds at BattleBrew Productions, Cuisineer offers an enticing blend of charm and challenge. You step into the shoes of Pom, a young adventurer who’s now looking to revive her family’s once-thriving restaurant.
Upon Pom’s return to her beloved hometown of Paell, she finds the family restaurant shrouded in debt and closed for business. Determined to restore its glory, she sets out to bring the eatery back to life and clear the looming financial burdens.
The key to Pom’s success lies in exploring dungeons sprawled across the nearby landscapes. Armed with culinary tools, you’ll fend off peculiar foes like brawny chickens, shrimp with artillery skills, and fiery peppers. The bounty from these daring escapades provides the essential ingredients for crafting delectable dishes.
Back at the restaurant, these gathered goods become the heart of your culinary creation, transforming your neglected diner into a bustling hub of gastronomic delight—a tribute to your parents’ legacy.
Exciting gameplay features have been teased by the publishers:
Craft Your Own Delicious Culinary Experience: Whip up more than 100 unique dishes from a vast array of global cuisines. From the crisp delight of Popiah rolls to the savory delight of Kaya jam, tailored dishes cater to diverse customers. Plus, customize your kitchen space with artisanal touches to enhance the dining experience.
A Smorgasbord of Dungeons: Adventure through ever-changing dungeons like the Green Ruins and Frozen Fjord. Each visit unveils new biomes with dynamic layouts, resources, and challenges to keep you on your toes.
Master the Flavors of Fighting: Engage in combat using the elemental powers of Salty, Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Umami, Frosty, and Toasty. With abilities like flame bursts and poison clouds, take on foes using quirky utensils like Spatula and Tenderiser.
Take Quests to Go: Build relationships with the vibrant locals, such as Naicha the Bubble Tea aficionado or Alder, the friendly carpenter. While delving dungeons, gather items for these townsfolk to earn valuable rewards, including gold and new recipes that elevate your culinary prowess.
Mark your calendars for January 28, 2025, when Cuisineer will launch both in retail stores and online through the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch audiences around the globe.
