Doomsday Diner

It's an extremely shallow roguelite game with no story or real purpose other than basically 'wave survival.' Each day it gets a little bit harder, but nothing really changes. It's just: cook hotdogs, kill raiders, clean up at the end of the day... until you get far enough to get overwhelmed by raiders, die, and restart back at day 1.

No substance. I was excited when i saw this but was let down. I love simulator games but it annoys me when there is no base story or campaigne like "oh i need to pay some dude off" or "i wanna be the best so and so there is". The game is just an endless run untill raiders kill you than you restart your a new game. Not a huge fan of ragdoll physics in these types of games aswell. Put a hot dog on the grill, oops i did it to fast so it rolled off, so on and so on. Most ugrades suck and if you buy one realizing this upgrade was a mistake, you cant turn it off, your stuck with it ie: day 20 bought the 'can carry up to 6 items' upgrade not realizing anything your item touches drags along with it which is annoying because i didnt want all this and now i have to drop and pick up what i wanted carefully all while being shot at. It was a good idea but design choices are questionable. After the first hour i went back on the store page to see if i missed the fact that this was an early access game, but no full release. The game felt like what a demo would be

Silly fun! Challenging to sling dogs (etc) accurately. Against all reason, makes me want to eat a hot dog.

This was a very silly, casual simulator. I liked the ridiculous hot dog physics and the silly recipes that patrons could ask for. The difficulty scaled up fairly nice, with raids being less frequent while you're learning and then as the days go on, getting more and more persistent. It was interesting trying to juggle making the hot dogs with shooting those dang raiders. I liked that some of the more powerful upgrades came with downsides as well. It had a fun loop but maybe not a ton of replayability (which isn't always a bad thing). It's a simulator that respects your time.

Who doesn't love a burnt hot dog soaked in coffee!

Fun, simple food simulator, runs smooth and has silly physics, hot dogs :)
