Something unique, but has low amount of content, for about 4-6 hours. What is there actually quite polished and playable - you cook to find monster's loves and likes while trying to avoid dislike and hates. Potions allows you to change many things and manipulate difficulty, so eventually you will win no matter what. Do not expect level of Slay The Spire 2 early access variety, this is very small game.

Changing deck is difficult, you can add cards, but they mostlikely won't synergize with current deck, so you end up with a lot of cards and no clue how to turn them into something good. Sure there is ability to delete cards, but that will not help at all, cus you need working build at all times and can't just 'delete legs or hands from human to switch for a horn and tail'. Later as you accumulate potions and special ingredients it is possible to greatly change dish, like making them ignore monster preference or multiplying whole dish chain by %, which kind-a breaks game.

There is not much content and variety, similar items popping up early-game over and over, also they do not scale into higher areas. This is understandable for early access, but compared to other EA games like Against The Storm had, this one feels more like demo. Progression system between runs fully changes balance, you have to grind it to get forward. Like, it does make difference between starting with basic 10 HP or 25+, considering some monster hit for 9+. Or getting 40 gold per kill instead of zero.

Many monsters and dishes have no passives, making it really boring, and good half of passives only viable pre world 5 (like +5 hunger to monster per turn against 3000 life sponge). There is also bad spice scaling system which requires starting from world 1 to gather spices and boost dmg of dishes. But each spice only boost by +1 and only specific dish ingredient, so again, it is hard to make a smart build unless you 'cheat' with universal chain flourish dishes.

I do like uniqueness of this game, story, humor, visuals, gameplay... But balance and little amount of content are concerning, it will take a lot of effort to turn it into something acceptable by nowdays standarts. Devs going to finish EA in about 1 year, so lets see how they add content and scale everything as time goes on. Majority have 6-10 hours of playtime and never returned to game after writing positive review, so bear in mind.
