Arcane Eats is a premium strategy PC game by developer Wonderbelly Games. It is a fantasy-themed cooking adventure featuring roguelike mechanics. In it, players take on the role of a master chef who must use all the ingredients and resources at their disposal to satiate the monstrous appetites of their customers.

Similar to Monster Train 2 or Slay the Spire 2, Arcane Eats boasts tactical turn-based gameplay with deckbuilding elements. Players will need to build a robust deck with diverse ingredients to cater to each and every order that customers throw their way, with some room for improvisation on the side to get creative.

Monstrous appetites

In Arcane Eats, you play as a master chef who owns and runs a restaurant in a fantasy world, where your customers range from fairies to goblins and every other creature in between. Use your culinary skills and unique ingredients to satisfy your diverse patrons and help in controlling a mysterious condition called The Hunger, from consuming everyone in the land.

Gameplay revolves around placing ingredient cards into your cooking board to prepare dishes for customers. You can modify the recipe further with culinary spells and magical kitchen tools to achieve unique results and flavors. There are three culinary guilds to pick from and align yourself with, and each one offers a unique cooking path as you climb the ranks and become the premier culinary destination in town.

Hire a kitchen crew to help with daily operations and keep your restaurant clean to pass health inspections. Gain the recognition of legendary chefs, and impress them with your creative dishes to finally earn the coveted Three Mythril Star Rating. As of this writing, though, there is no word about when the game will be released, so you’ll have to wait for a while longer.
