Dotakawa☆COOKING BATTLE

Dotakawa☆COOKING BATTLE is one of those games that sounds like a normal cooking game until I actually start playing it and realize I am also supposed to whack everyone with a frying pan. I honestly loved how ridiculous the whole idea is. I am racing around a classroom style arena trying to gather ingredients, cook them and complete my bento while also deciding whether I want to play nicely or cause complete chaos. The main goal is simple. I need to collect the ingredients for my bento, prepare them and finish as many meals as possible before the time runs out. What makes it interesting is that everyone is competing for the same resources, so stealing food or attacking another player can give me an advantage. I liked that this creates constant little decisions about whether I should focus on cooking or risk wasting time trying to interfere with someone else. The frying pan is easily the funniest mechanic. I can hit another player and steal what they are carrying, which turns an ordinary cooking race into something much more aggressive.

Cute lil' game about making bentos, and inflicting head trauma with cast iron pans! Make as many bento boxes as possible before time runs out. There's only 4 ingredients, which have to be prepared before being boxed. if someone is carrying what you need, you can smack 'em upside the head and steal it! You absolutely NEED a controller for this tho, pc controls barely work. It's designed for multiplayer, but I dunno if remote play works or if you have to do local. There's not a whole lot to this, the single player experience is kinda lacking, and it needed a bigger variety of ingredients... ...but if you can find a few bored weeb friends who would be into a game about making bento boxes, you'll probably have a fun couple of playthroughs! ...tho you'll probably spend more time beating each other to death than cooking.

there is no settings (no option for binding buttons) keyboard and mouse control is not specified 5600X + 6600XT barely gets 60FPS no update notes art style is cute
