Burger Kombat

Cook your own burger ! Don't mistake, steak or chocolate ?

I thought Burger Kombat was just another silly game with a ridiculous name. I was wrong. The graphics are simple. The gameplay looks simple. And at first, I thought I was just going to watch burgers fight each other for a few minutes. Then I started caring. There's something about watching two burgers enter battle that feels completely stupid and yet somehow incredibly important. Every hit matters. Every fight feels like it could be the one. And before you know it, you're sitting there thinking, "Come on. You can do this. You're a burger." The game doesn't need an enormous story or complicated mechanics. It has burgers. And combat. That's enough. What I love most is how seriously the game commits to its ridiculous idea. It doesn't try to convince you that burgers fighting each other is normal. It just accepts it. And eventually, so do you. I've played games with epic stories, massive worlds, and unforgettable heroes. I don't remember most of them. I'll remember the burger. Some games are fun while you're playing them. Burger Kombat makes you realize that maybe the greatest warriors humanity has ever created were made of bread, meat, a…

The whole point is making burgers that are worth as much money as possible, so the game has a deliberately silly approach to cooking. The collecting side is probably what keeps me interested. I have to wait for new ingredients to appear, then work out what I can make from what I have available. Rarer ingredients are more valuable, so finding something unusual gives me a reason to check back and see what new combinations I can create. I like that the game keeps the basic idea very easy to understand. There is no complicated cooking system to learn and I am not worrying about realistic recipes. It is basically collecting, combining and trying to increase the value of my burgers. The biggest problem is also the biggest part of the design. There is not actually a huge amount for me to do. Ingredients appear every couple of hours, so a …
