Cuisineer, a simulation SLG from indie game studio BattleBrew Productions, combines dungeon exploration and restaurant management, with a host of cultivation and collection elements. The biggest selling point of this work is the art and character design.,It's a very standard furry shape.,It's very cute in appearance.。 This game is published by Marvelous' European division, and the experience is quite different from its own simulation management game.
The plot of the game
Pam was on a trip when he received a letter from his parents, mentioning that the two wanted to go on a trip before they retired, hoping to see Pam again before leaving. However, when Pam returns to the restaurant he runs at home, he finds that his parents have long since left, and even the furniture in the restaurant has been sold to pay for his trip, and it is his friend Biscotty who helps to take care of the storefront. In order to reopen the restaurant, Pam began buying furniture and collecting ingredients to Xi learn new recipes from the village's residents. However, to Pham's surprise, his parents left him with a big problem before leaving, and the family owed a large amount of debt, and the burden on Pam's shoulders became heavier.
养成要素
This game is mainly divided into two parts: combat and management, exploration until five o'clock in the afternoon at the latest, and the restaurant can operate until eleven o'clock in the evening. During the operation period, the player needs to control the protagonist to carry out various operations, and after selecting the dish, it will be automatically cooked, and then the player can take the initiative to deliver the table to the guests or let the guests pick it up by themselves, and after the meal, they will clean up and check out, but not every guest will take the initiative to pick up the meal. There are 7 types of customers in the game, among which the aristocratic class must be served by the player himself, but their spending level is very high, and the money will come quickly.
The rest of the customers also have their own preferences and characteristics, such as children who are more impatient and need to serve food as soon as possible, while the elderly are more Buddhist and eat slowly. There will be two meal peaks a day, and money and prestige will be rewarded after the day's work. As your reputation increases, more and more items will be unlocked in your shop, and players will be able to edit the structure of their interior to create their own restaurant. Consume ingredients to level up furniture and utensils, increase the cooking speed of pots, the capacity of refrigerators, and more, and more recipes to learn Xi unlock as you level up.
Combat links
As another important aspect of the game, the combat mechanics are much simpler, and the player controls the protagonist to defeat all kinds of food in random dungeons in order to obtain food. The design of the dungeon is also not complicated, except for a few boss battles with trigger conditions, there is no special terrain in the scene. Combat styles are divided into melee and ranged, and there is no setting such as combo skills, and the type of ranged attack can be changed by changing equipment. However, there are many ways to strengthen it, in addition to using materials such as minerals to increase basic attack power, there are also various dishes to provide corresponding buffs for weapons.
In addition, the recovery props in this work have also been transformed into food, and you can buy milk tea with various effects in the milk tea shop, and complete the tasks of the villagers to unlock more milk tea and increase the amount that can be carried. But it's important to note that if you lose, not only will you lose most of the material, but there is still time to set this work, and if you fail today, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to fight again.
Gameplay experience
Compared to Marvelous' own management simulation games, this game is much simpler in every way, except for the battle map, the active scenes are outside the town and its own restaurant. However, the experience is quite playable, both inside the restaurant and in the combat link, there is a lot of development content, and the main quest and collection elements are connected to each other, so that players can have a clear business goal.
However, it will also appear very liver in the process of playing, and as the process progresses, whether it is recipes or equipment, there is a high need for level up. At the same time, as a management game, expansion is always the only way to develop, so it needs to spend a lot of materials. Collecting ingredients needs to go to the wild to brush, to complete the task needs to go to the wild to brush, to improve the level and players need to go to the wild to brush, almost every link is inseparable from the brush gameplay, except for a short business hours, the player's remaining energy needs to be used on liver materials.
But thanks to the art of this work,Although it's very life-consuming to play,But the look is very healing.,Not only the game's character design is very cute.,The action and dialogue design are also very exquisite.。 During the business hours, there is a lot of interaction between the kitchen and customers, there are also corresponding actions for different ways to make moves during dungeon battles, and there are also some stories related to their class between villagers during the dialogue of the characters. Although these contents are not too extensive to affect the gameplay of the simulation operation of the game itself, it is enough to bring players a short rest after being busy.
epilogue
Unlike Marvelous's own simulation games, the composition is significantly different from Japanese titles, and the focus is completely different. Although the game's system isn't complicated, it's very replayable and has a lot of brush elements, making it a time killer experience. The game's graphics are excellent, and the mechanics are traditional, making it easy for any player to pick up.
