Chef Wars - Food Discovery + World Travel RPG
Hey guys!
Excited to be doing our virgin post as Mindcake Games!
About Chef Wars
We're a 3-person indie doing a Food Discovery RPG! Players travel around the world to recruit chefs, source ingredients, and invent hundreds of real-life recipes. They can then use those recipes to win themed kitchen battles!
The battles are quite simple. Players pick the recipe they think best suits the competition themes, and get scored by the judges (think the old DOS Pizza Tycoon, or Suikoden's Cooking Battle mini-game). If you win, you get cash and fame! The game's depth shines in the prep-work required outside battles:




Our Inspiration
We really love games like Civilization, Koei's Uncharted Waters New Horizons, and Carmen Sandiego! So we want to build mobile games which let players explore the world and learn about different cultures. With Chef Wars, it just happens to be about food!
Progress
We're actually quite late into our development, and hoping to launch in the next 2 months (depending on bugs and optimization). We do welcome any feedback and support - things you think would be cool! We plan to update the game every month (new chefs, regions, recipes, missions) if there's some love for the game!
**Update**
We're now in Open Beta on Android, and closed beta on iOS!
If you'd like to play on Android, we've been featured on Google Early Access here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...games.chefwars
If you'd like to play on iOS via Testflight, send us a note at contact@mindcakegames.com!

If you win, you get cash and fame! The game's depth shines in the prep-work required outside battles:
- - You can travel to 500+ cities and towns around Europe and Asia. The map is fully and freely explorable - the pic below is literally Europe at 6% zoom! The point is to learn about difficult cultures and cuisines.
- - Each location has markets with specialty ingredients, about 200+ worldwide. Then you can combine those ingredients to invent and upgrade over 900 recipes, each with their own attributes.
- - There are 11 judges with unique personalities. Example, some judges really care about your dish's relevance to the theme. Some just care about having an upgraded/tasty recipe. And each judge has preferences too - like some like French dishes, or spicy food, etc.
- - Each recruitable chef has unique traits which makes them good with certain dishes. There are storylines and missions for each chef as well.
