Cannibal Cuisine, a new chance to play with your food, is set to arrive on PC and Nintendo Switch on 20 May.
Coming from indie outfit Rocket Vulture, Canibal Cuisine is a multiplayer party piece that is probably best not brought to formal dinners. Pitting gamers against unsuspecting victims this tasty morsel challenges players to head out into the wild and find some different types of cuisine. You’ll hunt the land for delicious fruits and vegetables, and combine them with freshly chopped and cooked tourists for a truly divine delicacy fit for the God Hoochooboo. Playing solo with the tourists, co-operating in the kitchen, or going head to head in versus modes, Canibal Cuisine is more bloody mess than a good bolognese.
A Varied Menu
With a range of potential characters at the tip of your tongue, every player picks a different voodoo power before jumping into a varied range of tropical levels to cook up some carnage. Between collecting ingredients, some of which won’t go willingly and others might be playing beside you, you’ll cook faster with fire breath, stomp-stun tourists, and dish out more punishment. To get a 3-star rating each chef will have to coordinate between your fruit pickers and tourist hunters for the right ingredients… and that’s before later levels where you have to dodge lava, board boats, and avoid spikes!
Cannibal Cuisine’s cartoon antics sound even more perilous than a rifle around the bargain bin on a certain Friday every year. Thankfully gamers can get a taste of the action before they buy. Before the launch, a limited-time open beta is being run to gather player feedback and stress test the game. Anyone can join by downloading the Cannibal Cuisine demo for free on Steam. While this doesn’t look likely to upset the release of Amazon’s Crucible on 20 May, Canibal Cuisine looks like a fun pallet cleanser from fast food AAA titles that milk the player base every year. Check out all the details on the upcoming release over on the official website now.
