The kitchen has become a battlefield! And that’s all because Staying Fresh, a new tactical roguelite from developer and publisher Rubel Games, has launched today on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Prepare for a bizarrely delicious conflict where fresh food heroes battle against hordes of rotten zombie counterparts, all thanks to a poorly timed power outage.
Priced at a budget-friendly £4.09, Staying Fresh offers a unique blend of turn-based tactical combat and roguelite progression. When the fridge loses power, rot sets in, turning once-fresh ingredients into shambling monstrosities. It’s up to the remaining “culinary heroes” to fight for their freshness and uncover who sabotaged the fridge before everything spoils.
A Tactical Feast: Turn-Based Combat with a Twist
Staying Fresh features minimalistic turn-based combat where careful planning is key. You’ll lead your squad of fresh food heroes, studying enemy attack patterns and devising the perfect strategy to counter the zombie food onslaught. It’s a tactical affair where positioning and ability usage matter.
As you explore the mysterious abandoned kitchen, you’ll gather fresh ingredients. These aren’t just for show; they’re used to repair and upgrade your existing culinary warriors. You’ll also discover scraps of recipe book pages, allowing you to learn how to create entirely new units to bolster your ranks.
Endless Kitchen Nightmares
Thanks to its roguelite design, Staying Fresh promises endless possibilities. With a variety of levels, units, and enemies, each playthrough should offer new challenges and strategic combinations to discover.
Will you build a team focused on ranged attacks, melee prowess, or something entirely different? The kitchen is your oyster (though hopefully not a rotten one).
