That’s a no from me. Slow movement paired with a fast day and night cycle makes doing missions hard. The cooking portion is fun but is lost with boring tasks and a mundane farm management system. I couldn’t put myself through this.
This game is currently in the Humble Choice for October 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before November 1st, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A bit of Battle Chef Brigade, with Stardew Valley.
Epic Chef starts with the player coming to town to take over the cursed home. It turns out it’s cursed to grow crops extremely fast, which is actually a good thing. From there, players will set up a small farm to grow ingredients and then cook food. Of course what use is cooking food if players can’t compete in ultra battles similar to the Iron Chef as you can see on the screen.
And the thing is, all of this works well. The writing here had me laughing quite a few times, on screen you have a horse acting as the judge. The ideas and story are well written and the characters are unique. You never know what you’re going to run into next. The cooking mini-game could be better, but there’s enough to do in Epic Chef that it seems worth playing through just for the writing.
Pick this up if you like farm or life simulators. As interesting as the cooking part of the game is, at the end of the day you’ll have to grow the food and maintain your farm to get an influx of ingredients, and that’s going to be a big component here.
