Co-op Kaiju Horror Cooking

This game seemed, so promising! The idea is fun, and you can tell that the devs put some thought into it. There are a lot of easter eggs and the dungeon is designed so beautifully. The unfortunate bit is the lack of progress, and changes through chapters. The feeding post you start with stays the same with no new recipes or upgrades. Each chapter feels the same and no matter how cool some rooms in the dungeon you find are, they often feel meaningless due to lack of substantial payoff for solving the puzzle or activating it. The points you aquire throughout the game also feel pointless. There are merchants, but the point you have aren't easily tracked and the items merchants sale do not feel that useful. This game has some great potential! If not for a fact that each chapter feels the same (even with dungeon changes), and lack of upgrades/meaningful rewards, the game would be an amazing coop experience. Sadly in it's current state it falls flat. It is fun for first 30 min to an hour in coop but then the repetition kicks in and without any progress there is no reason to keep grinding. If you grab it on sale for low price it is worth a shot (maybe with some updates), and I really hope one day I can come back and correct this review.
