Deep Dish Dungeon, a co-op dungeon crawler that blends exploration with cooking mechanics, is now available on PC. The game tasks players with scrounging for ingredients within a dungeon to craft tools and prepare meals, drawing inspiration from the anime series Delicious in Dungeon.
While the game features dungeon exploration, combat against creatures like skeletons, and puzzle-solving, a core element is its cooking system. Players can learn and unlock various recipes, with better dishes providing stat boosts crucial for survival. The variety of meals ranges from simple fare like humble pie to more complex dishes.
The dungeon itself is described as handcrafted, suggesting a more curated experience than procedurally generated environments. Enemy behaviors are designed to require specific tactics, discouraging indiscriminate attacking. The game also incorporates elements reminiscent of Metroidvania titles, though their exact nature is left for players to discover. Deep Dish Dungeon supports cooperative play for up to two additional players, alongside a solo mode. The developers note that the game may be designed with co-op play as a primary focus.
