Cuisineer Launching on Nintendo Switch This Month

Exciting news for Nintendo Switch fans: XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have announced the much-anticipated release date for Cuisineer!

Developed by the talented team at BattleBrew Productions, Cuisineer is an adorable and mouth-watering adventure that blends dungeon-crawling with the thrill of a roguelite. You’ll step into the shoes of Pom, a young adventurer who unexpectedly finds herself managing her parents’ struggling restaurant in the charming town of Paell.

Upon her return, Pom faces the daunting challenge of reviving the family eatery, which has been shut down and burdened with debt. The solution? Reopen the restaurant, turn it into a bustling success, and pay off what’s owed.

To gather the necessary ingredients, you’ll embark on daring escapades into dungeons, exploring the lands surrounding Paell. Armed not just with bravery but your trusty cooking utensils, you’ll confront formidable foes like giant chickens, artillery shrimp, and even fiery peppers.

The treasures you collect aren’t just for survival; they’ll be transformed into delectable dishes that will entice patrons back, restoring the restaurant to its former glory and beyond, making Pom’s parents proud.

The publishers have shared some exciting features that await players:

Culinary Creations Galore: Dive into a world of over 100 recipes inspired by global cuisines. From the savory crunch of Popiah rolls to the sweet delight of berry-topped treats, your job is to serve up the perfect dish to every hungry customer. You’ll also have the chance to revamp your kitchen and dining area with the help of local craftsmen.

Diverse Dungeon Adventures: Get ready to explore ever-changing biomes like the Green Ruins, Frozen Fjord, and Konpeito Swamps. These dungeons offer new surprises each time you venture in, with dynamic layouts and resources.

Flavorful Combat Mechanics: Harness the power of unique fighting styles with flavors like Salty, Sour, and Sweet, or use the fantastical effects of Frosty and Toasty abilities. Equip yourself with quirky kitchen weapons like the Spatula, Smackerel, and Swordfish for an epic culinary showdown.
