Chefs Arena is a competitive party game you can play with your friends, family or online strangers. Cook dishes from whacky ingredients, fight monsters, sabotage, steal and feed an ever-hungry King.
In Chefs Arena, players compete by crafting dishes from bizarre ingredients while battling monsters and each other. This casual game offers endless fun whether you're cooking up a storm with buddies or facing online opponents.
About this game
Chefs Arena is a couch party co-op game where you team up with another player to cook delicious dishes and deliver them to the King to score points. Complete each order either by hunting the ingredients yourself or by stealing from the enemy team if cooking is not for you. Not a fan of the other team's cooking? Try throwing a carrot into their mushroom soup to sabotage them.
Play 1vs1 or ramp up the fun in the co-op 2vs2 mode for that extra bit of spicy team work: online or offline. Add bots if you don’t have enough players!
Collect points from the King for delivered plates and strike down your opponent while you’re at it. In this game, it’s eat or be eaten, after all. Hack, cook and scheme your way to victory!
ACTION COOKING
Each match starts off with up to three different recipes to cook, each with different rarities and points. Hunt for ingredients all while fighting off your enemies. Pull off trick shots to make the crowd go wild! Being a great chef takes finesse.
TO THE ARENA!
Do you prefer dinner in a dungeon, cherry blossom picnics or lunch in the clouds? Each arena showcases a unique setting and one-of-a-kind features, offering interactive methods to deliver faster or to take out the enemy in one fell swoop. Beware of the resident creatures in each arena—you might become their food!
EASY TO PLAY, BUT DEEP TACTICS
The base controls of the game are fairly easy to pick up, which makes Chefs Arena the perfect game to play with friends or family. To really shine and hone your skills, try pulling off advanced moves like throwing ingredients, dashing to pick them mid air or plot against your enemies by stealing from them and sabotaging their moves.
FEATURES
A Fine Selection of Arenas: Each arena showcases at least one unique game play feature, gimmick, unique enemy or ingredient, some even all of the above. Every chef will find their favorite kitchen, and there are even more coming!
Advanced Team Play Mechanics: The game offers unique and deep game play mechanics that will bring your friends to the boil: sabotage your enemies, steal their dishes and lay traps.
The King and his Audience: The King travels all over the realm to fill his belly with only the finest foods. His entrusted servant acts as an announcer for cooking tournaments and even sets up a fake audience that will boo and cheer depending on your actions.
Messy Arenas: Work in a kitchen that can never stay clean! Spatters from ingredients thrown around, burnt areas from exploding cooking stations and monster parts scattered everywhere—nothing stays spotless where these chefs are at work.
Disclaimer: No actual creatures were harmed in the making of this game!
