✦ AI summary
Players praise the strategic depth hidden beneath the casual cooking and combat premise, with the Tetris-like snack preparation system creating meaningful build variety that dramatically impacts boss difficulty. Common complaints center on the weak tutorial that doesn't explain key mechanics like customizable block shapes, poor enemy balance in later worlds, and underdeveloped town features that lack NPCs and side quests, alongside quality-of-life issues like the cooking minigame controls being cumbersome.
I thought this game was just about cooking and fighting, but the snack-cooking part is actually super fun. When I make the perfect snack setup, some bosses die in like 10 seconds, but if I go in with a sloppy setup, I can’t beat them at all. So yeah, it’s way more strategic than it looks. BUT WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME I COULD CHANGE THE BLOCK SHAPES??? The tutorial is kinda weak overall, but it’s EA so I’ll let it slide… for now.12 found this helpful
My review of this current early access version is that it has potential but as expected, still a bit bland and lacking Quality of Life. The game itself has cute graphics and you are traveling through a dungeon, where you clear through each "room" before reaching the end. You gather ingrident and resources from each room. At the start, there are 9 different weapon all with upgrade and enchantment. You get to cook with the ingrident shape like tetris block and each having different effect so you have to fit them into a board. Note that each food take up the amount of hunger until its fully gone, so eat 100 hunger of food, means that space on the hunger bar is taken up until its fully depleted. The main reason why I giving it a negative vote is due to the enemy balance. In the 3rd world, there this crow enemy that fires 3 projectiles constantly, good luck dodging that. And if you choose a melee weapon, you will lose. It is really annoying. There are some similar enemies like this in pervious levels, but they were tone down, but for some reason not this one. No hitting them to stagger them to prevent them from firing, they just keep going. No breaks between firing, nothing. Other t…6 found this helpful
the game is still in early access but I've enjoy it so far. Combat is simple, and repetitive but fun. I actually enjoy throwing my cart to blow up enemies and then running them over lite them on fire (I use burning wheels and TNT cart upgrade). The town is the weakest part of the game. The dev needs to add more npcs and side quest. Also, add a option to auto the cooking mini game or have is use the mouse itself be the controls instead of the mouse wheel.
