Battle Chef Brigade was the result of a Kickstarter by newcomer Trinket Studios in an effort to create a type of cooking game that focused more on the actual cooking, as well as made it more involving. On their Kickstarter page they say:
The gameplay is split between hunting monsters and collecting ingredients under a time limit in a style similar to Vanillaware titles, selecting the ingredients you want and need in order to impress the judges on the Battle Chef competition, and improving your dish through a match-three puzzle game. The game will also feature several playable characters, all with different abilities and play-styles, and personal narratives that are all interconnected in order to create a larger story.
Battle Chef Brigade will release on Steam and Nintendo Switch on November 20th. You can watch the new release date trailer right here:
