Evaluation

Cuisineer launched on November 9, 2023 and received consistent post-launch support: a series of balance and quality-of-life patches through early 2024, culminating in a final major patch (v1.09) on April 15, 2024, at which point the developer explicitly stated "This will be the last major patch update in a while." True to that statement, BattleBrew then worked on a substantial "Fresh Features Update," which shipped on January 28, 2025 — bringing a wardrobe system, year-round festivals, new weapons, and food buffs, coinciding with the game's launch on consoles. This was the last major content release. On July 7, 2025, BattleBrew posted a [development_status] update announcing their next major game, HellHeart Breaker (due Q1 2027), and a smaller title, Love In Tiny Spaces. Critically, the post stated: "Does this mean that Pom is finally retiring from her adventuring ways? Well, that's not entirely true, but at this moment we're focusing on our upcoming games." This is a clear signal that active development on Cuisineer has wound down in favour of new projects. A minor bug-fix patch (v1.3) followed on October 10, 2025, which included only optimization and small fixes — consistent with the developer's earlier promise of only minor maintenance going forward. All DLC (a digital soundtrack and artbook, both released at launch) has shipped. No unreleased DLC exists on the store, no future content has been announced, and the developer has explicitly redirected their focus to new titles. The game's store description references the January 2025 update as its latest content milestone. Cuisineer is a complete, fully-released product.

About this game

Upon receiving a startling letter from her parents, the independent adventurer Pom swiftly returns home to Paell, only to find her parents gone and their beloved restaurant abandoned. Now left with mounting debts and a village in dire need of some fine cooking, Pom will have to delve into the deepest dungeons for the scarcest spices, rarest meats, and the most valuable vegetables she can find to keep her parents’ dream alive.

Dive into dungeons and cook up a storm as Pom, an adventurer-turned-restaurateur! Cuisineer‘s food-focused action challenges you to build your dinner the hard way: by dungeon-diving for materials and ingredients. Wield your cooking utensils against giant chickens, artillery shrimps, fire-breathing peppers, and other pesky perils, sipping boba tea along the way. Work with local artisans to customize your kitchen, and tailor your dining hall to the needs of loyal patrons eager to experience the rare recipes you’ve cooked up.

With the latest update, Cuisineer plates its enticing gameplay with fresh ingredients like new weapons, year-round festivals, a wardrobe feature, and more tasty inclusions that are sure to spice things up.

Take Quests to Go

From Naicha the Bubble Tea seller to Alder the big friendly carpenter, Paell is full of sweet and spicy townsfolk to befriend.
