Battle Chef Brigade Deluxe

冲着美术风格和女主买的，玩着玩着看到女角色穿qqny，疑似主创被骟后精神错乱留下的遗物

Is there any way the time limit could be, as an option, removed ? It turns what could a pleasant experience into a heart attack.

画风非常好啊，剧情和人物我也还算喜欢。就是玩法不太感冒，战斗+另类三消，很益智游戏的三消，需要一点空间几何能力？想象能力？没有也没关系可以用笨法子试，关卡难度低

К сожалению, игра не понравилась. Смотрю на хвалебные отзывы и даже немного неловко писать, что мне не зашло практически все. Из плюсов - рисовка и музыка, действительно, приятные. Милый аниме стиль, приятно оформленные анимации боя. Но геймплей... крути шарики, чтобы приготовить, а чтобы было из чего готовить бей монстров. Нууу, такое себе + диалоги, диалоги, диалоги. Я люблю визуальные новеллы, но тут и история не зацепила. Да, я поиграла мало и возможно, не дошла до каких-то супер интересных моментов, но обычно я сразу пониманию, понравится мне или нет. Возможно, для ценителей подобного жанра будет норм, особенно если опираться на 2,5к положительных отзывов, которые и подкупили при покупке игры. Но лично мне ни элементы "тетриса" шариками, ни бой, ни диалоги не понравились. Запросила возврат средств, надеюсь, одобрят, несмотря на то, что прошло более 14 дней.

My complements to the chefs at Trinket studios. Battle Chef Brigade is an action/puzzle/ game that is greater than the sum of it's parts. The game is broadly made of 3 distinct sections which on their own are fine if a little shallow but when combined -appropriately enough like ingredients in a dish- elevate the core gameplay loop: The first is the fighting stage, in this first phase you gather ingredients in a basic side-scrolling platformer action game. Enemies aren't particularly difficult and the stages are small, but that's because you're always on a timer. Next you combine ingredients in a Puyo-puyo bubble drop game. It's not as complex as other games in genre, but you choose pans to cook in with different fusion properties which give you the edge against your opponent. Finally this is all wrapped up in a serve-the-customer context in which orders come in for certain ingredients, types of gems and techniques. Points are awarded not only on your dish's complexity but on how well you meet these conditions. On their own these would be insufficient but the point is that because you're always switching between the 3 none of them have time to get boring and each of them offer reprieve from the others. When hunting gets to be boring, do some bubble-matching and order planning for a bit until you need to kill more stuff, rinse and repeat. If the systems were more complex it would likely only hurt the game as the mental load would become unpleasant. As someone who isn't very good at Puyo-puyo I found normal mode to be pleasantly challenging, I only failed once or twice but there were some real nail-biters. As for story and style, the game is charmingly written, beautiful to look at and isn't overlong. The characters are fun and the story maintains a quick pace which never gets bogged down too much. I highly recommend Battle Chef Brigade.

亮点是画风，至于前店后厂部分，食材环节的平台跳跃一般但能用技能混过去，料理环节的转珠子三消还行也能用装备混过去。但这俩的问题是有个共有的时间限制当索命符导致玩起来相当紧张，成长老早就到头致使后面全是套路复读，不能提前看比赛要求更压缩了配装自由度。后期的裂缝珠和毒物更是重量级折磨，打完只剩下个累。 剧情中规中矩，主要问题还是急，基本没有休闲时光过去就直接上强度开比赛，中期的转折过于刻意又脸接阴谋，感觉所有人都在赶场子不知道在急什么。结果折腾完居然还有时间给兽人开支线，也不好好写愣是用三颗心脏拖了三天。然后背景设定还是妻子重病，不仅需要仨心脏炼救命药还要往回赶搞得最后和马戏团小偷的友谊环节过于申必，兽人没邦邦几拳过去可真是心善。

incredibly cute and satisfying storyline. cures depression

You know the game is good when there's a trial by cooking. Super fun, super chill game. It really deserves a sequel.

Does everything it set out to do. Feels like stepping into a solid Saturday morning cartoon, with a light/fun combat/match3 foundation.

Overall Impression Battle Chef Brigade is a charming animated cooking game. Gameplay includes both combat and puzzle components . It’s a simple but effective offering. The illustrated characters and environments are a design aesthetic that adds to the overall appeal. The story is light hearted, melodramatic, funny, and quirky. This is the type of game you can chill out and allow it to refresh your soul. You can just jump in and learn the mechanics and have a great time. Target Audience Gamers that enjoy a fun adventure with some puzzle and combat mechanics that also connect with the overall aesthetic and story will enjoy this the most. It’s a cozy type game in that it’s relaxing and doesn’t take itself too seriously. The combat is simple but with enough moves to keep it interesting. Puzzles are easy to learn but surprisingly fun to work through and do become more challenging as you progress. Gameplay The overall gameplay is a mix of 2 activities. In order to cook a dish you first need to acquire ingredients. To do this you will need to gather components via combat. Combat is fairly straightforward. There are simple physical and magic attacks combined with some special moves. There’s nothing too fancy or intricate here but there’s also enough to keep things interesting. Mechanics are introduced slowly as to not overwhelm a new player. The attack combinations you eventual gain access to are fun to pull off. There’s also a basic item system that allows you to customize your setup for each battle. The other core gameplay component is cooking dishes. After you’ve collected ingredients, its time to cook! Each dish you make is a type of puzzle. The ingredients come in different types (and colours). When you align 3 of the same type, they can merge. Most of the puzzles will ask you to perform different objectives based on this core concept. Puzzles are initially easy to learn and get more challenging as you progress. There are also different varieties of puzzles as you train throughout the game to keep things interesting. Overall the 2 core gameplay mechanics complement each other well giving more variety to gameplay throughout the experience. Art Design & Story One of the standout features of the game is the art direction. The world and characters are illustrated in a style that is reminiscent of an old school animated TV show. This works well for the overall vibe of the game and significantly adds to its charm and appeal. Furthermore, the main protagonist is full of personality. The narrative doesn’t take itself too seriously. The main character is quirky and expressive and this all adds to the cozy feel of the game. The story itself is also fairly straightforward and gets into the main points without too much setup or explanation. Finally, the voice acting brings to life the characters and adds to the overall enjoyment of the experience. Challenges One of the challenges of the game is that it is a fairly simple adventure. This isn’t a flaw in itself but by understanding what type of game it is you’ll be better able to know if this is for you. This is after all an indie game, so it makes sense to offer a more focused experience. However, those that are looking for more depth in the combat or puzzle experience may be left wanting just a bit more. Another challenge is that during a match you can’t swap out your setup. Each battle usually focuses on certain ingredients so being able to switch out your gear helps you adapt to each challenge. It’s a small detail that would really help especially on more challenging battles where having the right setup will make a significant difference. Closing Thoughts Battle Chef Brigade is a unique cooking game with combat and puzzle gameplay elements. It’s animated style and cozy feel to the world and gameplay make it a title that you can pick up, relax and allow it to nourish your soul. If you’re looking for a chill game that you can enjoy in your downtime and you like the aesthetic and gameplay elements, this may be a title to put on your wish list.
