XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have just announced when Cuisineer will be launching on the Nintendo Switch.
The game comes from the creative minds at BattleBrew Productions, who’ve designed this charming and delectable rogue-lite dungeon crawler. In Cuisineer, you step into the shoes of Pom, a spirited young adventurer who swaps her sword for a spatula as she sets out to revitalize her family’s restaurant.
Upon returning to the quaint town of Paell, Pom finds her parents’ beloved eatery shuttered and shackled with debt. Her only hope of saving the family business is to open its doors once more and turn it into a bustling success story.
To achieve this, Pom must embark on daring forays into mysterious dungeons. Armed with her trusty cooking gear, she’ll face down unusual foes like oversized chickens, missile-launching shrimp, and fiery peppers.
Every ingredient you gather on these thrilling quests can be transformed into culinary masterpieces, slowly helping Pom restore her family’s run-down bistro to the crown jewel of the town, making her parents proud in the process.
The publisher has highlighted several standout features of Cuisineer:
Create Your Own Feast: Offer your patrons a taste of over 100 diverse recipes from cuisines around the globe. Whether it’s crispy and refreshing Popiah rolls, creamy Kaya jam, or succulent double-fried chicken with a zesty twist, there’s a dish for every diner. Spruce up your kitchen and dining space with upgrades crafted by local artisans to enhance your culinary empire.
An Array of Dungeons: Venture into unique environments such as the Green Ruins, Frozen Fjord, and Konpeito Swamps. Each biome is procedurally generated, ensuring no two visits are alike and each adventure offers new resources and challenges.
Fighting Fit for Foodies: Tackle foes with a variety of flavorful tactics utilizing Salty, Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Umami, Frosty, and Toasty abilities. These powers unleash dramatic effects like flame bursts, poison clouds, and chain lightning. Equip Pom with quirky weapons like the Spatula Smackerel, Swordfish, and the ever-handy Tenderiser!
Quests and Companions: Your journey isn’t just about battling monsters. In Paell, you’ll meet a cast of charming townsfolk, from Naicha the Bubble Tea vendor to Alder, the friendliest carpenter around. Fulfill their quests while exploring, and they’ll reward you with gold, unique items, and even more delicious recipes to bolster your culinary career.
Mark your calendars, as Cuisineer is set to launch both physically and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on January 28, 2025.
