Description
Epic Chef is a story-driven adventure game flavoured with life-sim farming, and crafting elements, blended together into one delicious dish via an interactive cooking experience - all served with a side of humour and elaborate cast of characters inspired by classics such as Mister Ajikko, or the writing of Sir Terry Pratchett. Grab your spatula and start on your journey to become... Epic Chef!


In Epic Chef you will combine ingredients, stirring and tossing with culinary precision to bring out the flavour elements of Vigor, Sophistication and Spirit in your dishes. This forms the core of the cooking experience that you must master in order to become the very best chef in Ambrosia.




Dish synergy and ingredient properties combine with a dynamic recipe creation system, meaning that you can experiment with thousands of different combinations to create a unique menu of decadent delights. Serving Rats with Tomatoes and Potatoes? Don't you mean Tomato Soufflé and Vermin Slices in Starchy Cream?!




Take on bitter rival chefs in epic culinary clashes to see who is crowned cooking king of Ambrosia! Dishes are scored on a variety of things from ingredients, to flavours, strength and more, with no two judges having the same taste. Become an even greater chef by utilising the addition of sauces to alter the properties of your dishes and influence the judges to win their favour.




Live off your land by growing foods such as fruit and vegetables, gather resources to craft specialised machinery that can process your ingredients further, and even create new recipe components whilst you tend to an eclectic mix of animal livestock from cows to unicorns! And don't forget to repair and customise your dilapidated (and slightly haunted) villa!




Welcome to Ambrosia, a place of gastronomic delight and agriculture wonder, renowned the world over. You are free to explore all that Ambrosia has to offer, from winding narrow streets to lush green fields, from quaint restaurants to bustling taverns, all full to the brim with 'friendly' locals eager to meet you.

Push Squareby Stephen Tailby
7/10

It does take a little while for the game to really warm up; the opening hours aim to establish quite a lot quite quickly, but once you're past all that, there's a pretty solid adventure to enjoy. Some aspects may leave a funny aftertaste; loading interrupts the game between areas, which makes getting around feel a bit clunky. The presentation is a little rough too, with several fiddly menus and blocky characters that don't quite hit the mark. However, the witty writing and crazy story, paired with simple but effective gameplay, makes for an enjoyable adventure for your inner foodie.

3.5/5 stars

For being as strange and bloated as it is, Epic Chef is a very engaging experience. While there are an almost frightening number of different mechanics involved, they all work together in interesting ways to create a very cohesive experience. Some people will like specific aspects of Epic Chef over others, but the way in which they work together means that very few are going to have trouble engaging with the whole, at least on some level.

6/10

Epic Chef is heaped with charm and humour that will undoubtedly put a smile on your face as you start your life as Ambrosia's hottest chef. Unfortunately, while the cooking and farming mechanics are simple enough to grasp, the bloated nature of the game makes every task feel more arduous than it needs to be. Add to this the needlessly lengthy dialogue and bizarre limitations around the save function, and Epic Chef feels like a game that can't quite match up with the other life sims available on the Switch. It's not unenjoyable, just more Little Chef than MasterChef.

Family Fun

My family gave it a 5, I give it 4. It is fun, intuitive and engaging with a fun isometric art style. It has a fable-esque atmosphere and a nice size world to explore that does not feel overwhelming or underwhelming (yet). The dialogue can be a bit heavy handed, but even if you skip it you can still figure out the game. Pros -Fun -Engaging -Intuitive -Nice Artstyle -Skippable dialogue -Helpful Help Menu Cons -Lots of reading -Lack of Voice over -Limited Saves -No visual cues to let you know the game saved The primary thing I dislike is how the save system works. You have to play the game until 10pm in the game-time that is when you are allowed to go to bed. If you don't go to bed within that timeframe you will not be able to save. I went to bed early in the game, and there was a scream at 3AM, I had to look around the house in order to go back to bed. But there was nothing to let me know the game saved. I didn't enjoy running around town, and so far the quests are fun, but I prefer to stay indoors and cook stuff, time will time if that is mandatory or not. So far the game has been fun to explore and play. I have not played the game long enough to know how much I like the games mechanics, but family enjoys taking turns playing and that is what counts for us.
