Reviews enjoy moving between hunting ingredients and combining them in the kitchen. The appeal is not action or puzzles alone, but using both to put together the next dish.
What makes it fun
Hunt for the dish you want
Think about what the judges want, then hunt monsters that drop the ingredients you need. Choosing your target is part of planning the dish.
Switch between hunting and cooking
During the same timed match, you hunt monsters for ingredients and cook at your station. You decide whether to head out for more or finish a dish with what you have.
Choose how your gems combine
Different pans change how gems combine in the cooking puzzle. You can choose your cookware before a match with the hunting area's ingredients in mind.
