Publisher Chorus Worldwide and developer maJAJa have announced and released side-scrolling, monster dish-making action RPG Dungeon Munchies for Switch via Nintendo eShop for $16.99.

Dungeon Munchies first launched for PC via Steam in June 2019.

Here is an overview of the game, via Chorus Worldwide:

About

Hunt down monsters to cook and eat them!

You’ve been revived in a massive underground complex and you must leave this bizarre facility. Aided by the undead Necro-Chef Simmer, you must stay safe, get fed, find a way to get out.

Dungeon Munchies is a side-scrolling action RPG with a focus on hunting down creatures, cooking them, and eating dishes to gain certain abilities. The combination of dishes you choose to eat will impact your entire play style.

Key Features

Big Menu for a Big Stomach – With a stomach that can only take seven dishes, you must put together a meal that maximizes your abilities. Guava juice, grilled shrimp, or crab stir fry may mean the difference between health recovery, damage output or a watery shield.

Tools of the Trade – Craft all kinds of deadly weapons out of the animal and plant parts you can’t eat. Pair them with your favorite dishes to create the most overpowered combat combo.

Farm-Fresh and Locally-Sourced – In this day and age, ingredients are hard to come by. You should be prepared to face off electrical snails, razor-sharp shrimp claws, and laser wasps to get the delicious parts you need.

Something Doesn’t Feel Right… – From the self-professed-AAA-license-holding necro-chef, to the diabolical voodoo “Lord of the Forest,” to the radical revolutionaries of the fruit revolution, everyone wants you to do their thing, but no one’s really right in the head. What’s really happening down in this dungeon?

Watch the Switch launch trailer below.

Dungeon Munchies is a 2022 indie game from maJAJa, a Taiwanese studio, where you play as a zombie learning to be a chef in a dungeon, slaying adversaries and using their leftovers to create meals

having streamed it all the way through, it surprised me! it was more fun than I expected. the early game drags a bit, it has a fair share of notable bugs, and there are mechanics i wish were introduced way sooner. BUT the story stayed interesting throughout and the characters were great

its definitely worth the time to give it a go if you like platformers, are interested in customizing your build on the fly, and don't hate bullet hell games. yes, most boss fights in this game are bullet hells. be warned <3
