Battle Chef Brigade is a brawler and puzzle video game developed by Trinket Studios and published by Adult Swim Games. The game was released for Windows and Nintendo Switch in November 2017.
Gameplay
Battle Chef Brigade is a video game that combines gameplay from tile-matching puzzle video games and side-scrolling brawler games.
The cooking phase is performed by dropping ingredients into the cookware. With the ingredients in the 4x4 cooking zone, the player can rotate them like in Puyo Puyo. When flavor gems of the same colour are aligned, they combine to increase their rank and the quality of the dish. As ingredients are matched and gems rank up, the player's dish increases its quality. Once finished cooking, the player has to deliver the dish to the judge before time runs out.
Development and release
Battle Chef Brigade was developed by Trinket Studios. In 2014, the developers crowdfunded over {{US$|100,000}} through a Kickstarter campaign. The studio was founded by former employees of Wideload Games.
Battle Chef Brigade was published by Adult Swim Games and released for Windows via Steam, GOG.com, and the Microsoft Store and for Nintendo Switch on 20 November 2017. It is currently self-published by Trinket Studios except on the Microsoft Store, where it remains published by Adult Swim Games.
