Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Arcane Eats” demo version. A roguelike deckbuilder with a delicious twist. Think like a master chef, balancing resources as you strategically combo ingredients to subdue hungry hordes. Recruit a legendary kitchen crew, and rise through the heroic cooking guilds—before The Hunger consumes us all!
Arcane Eats serves up a roguelike deckbuilder where your cards are ingredients and your battlefield is a busy kitchen, creating a genre mashup that feels both fresh and strategically satisfying. Rather than attacking enemies directly, you play ingredient cards onto enchanted cooktops, modify them with magical kitchen tools, then serve completed meals to hungry demon customers who pay you for your troubles – it’s resource management meets combo-building with a culinary twist. Three heroic cooking guilds offer distinct playstyles: the Hearth fires up hearty comfort food, the Grove weaves elemental spices, and the Order masters mise-en-place precision, with the forbidden Gastronomicon lurking for those who want to dabble in darker culinary arts. The writing leans into playful fantasy food puns, with legendary chef judges like Guy Fairy, Wolfman Puck, and the formidable Gorgon Ramsey evaluating your progress toward a coveted 3 Mythril Star rating. Wonderbelly Games and publisher Skystone Games are targeting 2026, offering hundreds of cards, recruitable kitchen crew, and escalating challenges via the ancient Dinner Bell that draws the attention of The Hunger. Steam Deck verified out of the box.
