Cook Dungeon Reviews

dev: Hey you know good games? other dev: yeah. dev: Lets make it not like that! other dev: I AGREE!

Junk shovelware game with stolen assets. Figured for $2 how bad could it be? Overall the game tells you nothing at all what so ever so you're left guessing as to what items do so its just hitting buttons and hoping that it works. Half the enemies don't do damage for some reason until later(?) in the game where they do a ton of damage quickly. So when you try to heal, you need to do so ASAP but you don't know how (though buying potions from the wizard for 1g heals for 1 heart) or if the food you're eating heals you or even does anything. If you're bored and have nothing to spend $2 on an you need to kill a few mins then get it but don't expect much.

THIS GAME IS!... well its something, i would say you won't regret buying this game unless there is something more important you would want to do with your $2... maybe ride the bus? I don't know, I'm not your dad. So if you are looking for a good time grab your biggest bag of toenail clippings and prepare for fun! because this game probably has both of those things. P.S. my review makes about as much sense as this game.

Honestly I love this game. Most people are blasting it for stolen are and what not but its cheap and the devs listen to the community. This game has amazing speed running potential with all of the glitches in it. I find myself coming back for more and I really enjoy the time playing this game. Some of the bugs can get annoying at times but seeing how the devs are actually working on making the game better I would say that they will not be around for long. I do feel like the game needs a tutorial or something to help you understand what you are doing but some people like having to figure that out. With 21 hours in this game I cant recommend this game enough and I feel like this game can really go somewhere in the future. Final score: 8/10

Games ok for 1.40 (30% off) but wont be up here long, so if you want to get it I would quick? Alot of stolen assets.

UPDATE: Dec 16th, 2019 So the developer went in as if nothing he did was wrong in response to the negative reviews such as mine and the comment thread. I give him credit for at least listening and not just deleting the thread about the theft of game art. So he replaced the stolen art with new art. Even still, this game is too generic, and just feels way too basic, even for the low price of $1.99. Want a great "Budget action RPG game"? ...This game is half the price at just 99 cents and is at least 10 times better: https://store.steampowered.com/app/640970/In_Game_Adventure_Legend_of_Monsters/ ****-**-** Original Unedited Review **-**-**** *** WARNING!! This Developer has KNOWINGLY Stole game art from several games including Nintendo!! *** That's right, read no more! In case the developer thinks he can just "delete" the thread with the stolen art accusations with proof, I have it on video right here were I talk about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqeywsaOq6I I call my series "M.I.S.S." for a reason. Those letters stand for something and it's not good, unless by chance you love the smell of maggots. This game reeks of corruption and a vile developer who thinks stealing other peoples artwork for his own simple dungeon game is "okay". An Easy Score for me.. A BIG FAT GOOGLED ASSET ZERO! .. 0% !! Not Recommended! Please do not support thieves. My purchase has been refunded because this developer doesn't deserve a single penny for this mash together of stolen art.

Might be worth it for the cheap price, but overall not a game worth owning. [u]1. It's random.[/u] It's focused around a completely random mechanic where any two items or foods can be combined to create a completely random item that has nothing to do with what you put in to cook it. [b]Whenever you cook something, you're rolling the dice[/b]. I thought it might be based on tier, but I combined a rainbow sword with a rainbow carrot and got a mushroom. That was when I realized it was 100% random 2. It's buggy. Barely walking into a room can spawn an enemy on top of you forcing you to instantly take damage. After you kill an enemy, they can still shoot you until they are completely gone even though they have stopped moving. For melee enemies, they can still damage you if you touch them. You will sometimes be completely invulnerable to all damage, only to lose that for no reason five minutes later. You can keep shooting after you die. Some enemies can hit you through walls. It goes on. What I'm saying is, [b]this isn't a finished product that should be on the steam store.[/b] [u]3. It's empty.[/u] There are basically seven types of rooms. Poison, Lightning, Wind, Fire, Chest, Wizard, and Dark. all of which can either have or not have enemies. Wizards will sell you... stuff? and are the only place to spend your money. Chest rooms give you a free item. Dark rooms you can't cook or eat in. The other four are just elemental hazards. [b]Once you've discovered each of the six types of room, there's nothing left to explore.[/b] Everything after that is cooking and hoping you get cool items to fight the ever increasing in difficulty enemies. [u]Summary:[/u] Overall, it is an unfinished, unpolished, unfair, unoriginal mess. On the other hand, it's "cooking any items" concept if done right could be very unique and fun. [b]It feels like playing a shitty GameJam game[/b], which might be okay if it had any semblance of fairness when cooking items.

This game is a zero. I played it and thought it was fun at first. I thought there might be a trick to the "cooking", but after extensive testing it seems to be random. I thought maybe you could infinitely clear the dungeon and get stronger... But no. Maybe encounter cool and interesting enemies... Also no... Also they STOLE PIXEL ART FROM OTHER GAMES!!! Namely POKEMON. Which is wrong... for a little more info read on. If you beat the main "BOSS" but don't save the princess eventually the game will lock you in an inescapable room. If you beat the "BOSS" and do save the princess that instantly ends the game. With no effect on later runs. Tons of bugs! Including: -Player invulnerability -Items occasionally healing/ not healing Just play something else...

I like this game, for what it is and the price. It´s funny. I mean you could also invest in other games but this is some fun. At this time I have the highscore with some cheesy little techs(bugs/glitches). YOu can Exit the game, to go back to the main menu and start over a new run. If u do this, you will sacrifice any challange and walk through the game easy. You get immortal and keep your health and money, aka. Points for leaderboard from your run you did before. So you end up with 7 Healthbars (like 100 HEarts) and an obscure score of multiple thousands. I am also working on a spreadsheet (like 7 sites and almost no valuable information) with crafting ingridients, their effects and recipies and all other information I can find. Maybe I try to open a fandom wiki, but thats some work... I love this game and still want to grind for highscores and completing the spreadsheet. (watch some movies or streams while grinding, gameplay is not very entertaining for long)

EDIT 12/16/2019: THEY LISTENED!!! The devs took notice of what we were saying in regards to some item sprites. While some sprites you can still tell were inspired from games like Pokemon, they've been redrawn. Unfortunately, it doesn't change my overall stance on the game. It pleases me to know that a dev listened to its biggest complaint. I hope that the dev continues to make improvements and change any other sprites that may have been taken from other properties. I still don't recommend this game, but if perhaps we do get a settings menu, tutorial, and something that tells us what each item does, I will consider changing my stance. Game is meh, I wouldn't recommend it to friends. MUSIC IS SUPER LOUD WHEN YOU OPEN THE GAME. I have to turn my speakers down so I can hear myself speak. The game doesn't teach you how to play, is full of bugs, there's no settings menu, and there are a TON of stolen graphics from POKEMON! YES! POKEMON! This was made for a quick buck clearly. If I were the devs, I'd be ashamed. I like dungeon-crawlers and this has a unique mechanic but I have no idea what certain items do (need something to tell me what they do because I have no idea). HEALING IS IMPOSSIBLE. DO NOT BUY THIS. THIS IS NOT A GOOD STEAM BARGAIN BIN BUY!
