Battle Chef Brigade is really >good. You should play it, especially if you like JRPGs or cooking or food in general. If tossing ingredients into a pot in something like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild scorched your Bokoblin horns(?) then this game is for you.

Despite following its development closely, reading Tom Sykes’ cheerful review in November and picking it up as part of Twitch Prime’s big summer giveaway, it wasn’t until last evening that I finally tried out the gorgeous little puzzle-brawler hybrid that is Battle Chef Brigade. It charmed the everloving heck> out of me for hours on end. My belated thanks to the chefs at Trinket Studios.

Officially relaunched yesterday as Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe (a free update for all), it’s now a meatier, tastier game than before. Now featuring local multiplayer, a new playable character (Necromancer-chef Ziggy, seen above) and a bundle of new play-modes, it’s probably worth taking a sniff at now.

It’s not a steaming mess, I’m happy to report, even if a couple of the ingredients do feel a little underdone.
