DESCRIPTION
Monster Chef is a unique roguelite hack-and-slash with a tasty twist of management. Step into the shoes of Pranzo, a brave chef-knight, as you hunt down fearsome monsters, cook them on the battlefield, and serve gourmet dishes to your inn’s guests. Fast-paced combat, creative cooking, and strategic management combine to deliver a flavorful gaming experience that keeps players hungry for more!
UNIQUENESS
In Monster Chef, the kitchen is the battlefield! Unlike traditional games where cooking happens in the safety of your inn, here you’ll hunt, fight, and cook monsters on the spot using your Chef Weapons.
Season monsters with Spices in real-time combat and create gourmet dishes with a fast-paced hack-and-slash system that blends intense action and high-level cuisine.
