Cuisine royale

At Cuisine Royale, players battle each other in battle royale mode. Three modes are available in the game:

• battle alone, each for himself
• battle in a two-player squad
• battle in a squad of up to four players

In one battle can participate up to 30 players. At the beginning of the match, each player appears in a random place, without weapons or armor to be found on the map during the battle. Some time after the start of the battle, the map begins to decline. If a player is outside the active playing area, his character takes permanent damage. Thus, the players move to the center of the constantly shrinking zone, collecting equipment, and fighting with the opponents they met along the way. The game ends when one player or squad is still alive.

Weapons

Players can choose from a wide selection of Soviet, American and German weapons from the Second World War - pistols, rifles, machine guns, and grenades. The map also has stationary machine guns that players can shoot from. In addition to firearms, players can also use knives and pans to attack opponents.

Armor

As an armor, the developers of Cuisine Royale offer players to use all kinds of kitchen utensils. Pots and colanders can be used as helmets, the wok will become a shell, and a heavy waffle iron will protect the most vulnerable places even from a large caliber. Although the dishes increase protection, its ringing and rumbling is heard by other players nearby.

Amplifiers

Also in battle, players can find items that improve certain characteristics. So, for example, a dropper accelerates the recovery of health points, pink slippers in the form of rabbits allow you to jump higher, and a cigar will double the character’s health points.

Consumables

On the map you can also find a variety of foods - bread, pizza, fried chicken - which will restore health points. You can replenish ammunition stocks. You can expand your inventory by finding packages of different sizes.

Lootboxes

Lootboxes in the game look like refrigerators placed on the battlefield. Depending on the color of the refrigerator, it contains a certain set of items. The contents of the refrigerator does not change and goes to the player who opened it with a 100% guarantee. The developers of Cuisine Royale position refrigerators as the most honest lootboxes in the history of computer games ^[5] .

First and Third Person Game

In games where the view is available from both the first and third parties, the latter gives an advantage. It allows the player to observe the opponent from behind cover, while he does not know that the enemy is nearby and sees him. At Cuisine Royale , every player has a minion who wears his camera. Thus, during the game from a third person, peering from behind, the player will still give out his location with a flying butterfly or a radio-controlled helicopter. So the developers of Cuisine Royale achieve equality for players using different viewing modes ^[6] . When switching the camera to the first-person game mode, the minion operator sits on the character’s shoulder.

On September 26, 2018, the game launched the "Seasons of haute cuisine", a month earlier announced at the gamescom exhibition ^[7] . Within the framework of the season, each of which lasts 10 weeks and is dedicated to a certain country, the recipes of various items become available to players: panties, masks, costumes, stencils for graffiti, gestures, etc. stylistically associated with this country. In order to “cook” items according to these recipes, players will need ingredients that can be obtained for reaching a new level, completing daily and weekly tasks. For example, to create a nosed Venetian mask during the Italian Weeks, the player will need the ingredients “Tears of Enemies” and “Belissimo!” As well as secret kitchen utensils.

The game is distributed according to the free-to-play model. For purchase, players can use a special ingredient of the season (in Italian weeks it is the “Godfather's Recipe Book”), which is needed to create some of the items according to recipes. In the game store, you can also replenish the stock of other ingredients usually obtained in the game. All items created according to recipes do not give game advantages and affect only the appearance of the character. At the end of the season, the player can sell most of the “cooked” items to other players on the exchange for Gaijin Coin. Earned coins can be spent on buying a special ingredient for the new season or on purchases in other Gaijin Entertainment games.

The editorial board of the Game Mail.Ru added Cuisine Royale to the selection of the most unusual games in the “battle royale” genre ^[8] , praising the graphics and optimization of the game:

“Cuisine Royale looks very beautiful and produces almost 120 frames per second on the same PC, where Playerunknown's Battlegrounds cannot keep a stable 60” ^[9] .

Good graphics and optimization are also noted by Lifehacker ^[10] .
