XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have proudly announced when you can get your hands on Cuisineer for the Nintendo Switch.
Brought to life by BattleBrew Productions, this game serves up a delightful mix of cuteness and flavor in a unique roguelite dungeon-crawling experience. You step into the shoes of Pom, a young adventurer who trades her gear for a chef’s apron in pursuit of reviving her family’s beloved restaurant.
Upon arriving back in her quaint hometown of Paell, Pom is soon faced with the harsh reality: her parents’ restaurant has shuttered, weighed down by debt. Her only path to saving the restaurant lies in reopening its doors and transforming it back into the bustling hub it once was.
This is where the adventure kicks off. You’ll need to explore dungeons, taking on thrilling challenges in the surrounding realms of Paell. Armed with trusty cooking tools, you’ll battle against quirky foes like colossal chickens, shrimp with a penchant for artillery, and even fiery peppers.
Gathering ingredients while on these escapades is more than just a chore—it’s the secret to concocting culinary masterpieces that promise to restore the eatery’s former glory, making it the toast of the town and a tribute to her parents’ dreams.
XSEED Games has highlighted key features of this gastronomic adventure:
Craft Your Own Delicious Culinary Experience: Dive into crafting over 100 exquisite dishes from global cuisines, like the crispy delight of Popiah rolls or the luscious richness of Kaya jam. From crispy double-fried chicken to berry-laden sweets, catering to your diners’ tastes is key. Enhance your kitchen and decorate your dining area with the help of talented local artisans.
A Smorgasbord of Dungeons: Tackle dynamic environments such as the Green Ruins, Frozen Fjord, and Konpeito Swamps. Each visit reveals new layouts and resources—no two dungeon dives are the same.
Master the Flavors of Fighting: Discover the power of flavors—whether it’s Salty, Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Umami, or the chill of Frosty and Toasty. Wield powers that can ignite, poison, or unleash bolts of electricity, all with culinary-themed weapons like the trusty Spatula or the mighty Swordfish.
Take Quests to Go: Meet charming locals like Naicha, the purveyor of bubble tea, or Alder, the affable carpenter. While exploring, keep an eye out for useful items to aid these characters—you’ll be compensated with gold, unique tools, and exciting new recipes to elevate your culinary and questing adventures.
Mark your calendars, as Cuisineer is set for release on January 28, 2025. You’ll be able to snag it both in-store and digitally on the Nintendo eShop, bringing the delicious and daring adventures of Pom to Nintendo Switch screens globally.
