Battle Chef Brigade slices and dices its way onto Switch in Holiday 2017

Ever wanted to play as a hardcore fantasy chef who has to hunt down monsters to make your next meal? Well, you’re in luck, as Nintendo announced today during their Nindies Summer Showcase that Battle Chef Brigade will be coming first to the Nintendo Switch in the holiday period of 2017.

The game is described as “one part combo-based action hunting and one part puzzle-based cooking,” which is a strange combination, but it looks absolutely fantastic. You can read the description below, or scroll past it to get to the stylish as heck trailer.

Battle Chef Brigade features fantasy chefs, including Orcs, Elves, and Humans, who need to hunt dangerous monsters for ingredients. With those ingredients, before the critical eye of the judges, the chefs create culinary masterpieces in an intense tournament. Battle Chef Brigade pairs one part combo-based action hunting and one part puzzle-based cooking, all as the round clock ticks down.

Features:

• Hand drawn 2D animated characters and monsters.
• Three playable chefs with their own short campaign which delves into each character’s personality and cooking.
• A chef’s pairing of equal parts old-school brawler, match-three puzzler, served with a side of light RPG progression.
• Daily challenge leaderboards where Battle Chefs can boast about their day’s best culinary creations.
• Deadly and delicious monsters. Subdue them in the arena!
