optimization3 negative mentions
  • Cute, cozy art style and lovely music that enhance the relaxing atmosphere.
  • Fun blend of dungeon crawling and cooking mechanics, with creative recipes and enjoyable minigames.
  • Allows for multiple play styles including hiring staff for cooking or dungeon exploring, adding gameplay variety.
  • Combat is clunky and floaty with poor controls, lacking responsiveness and impact, especially on mouse and keyboard.
  • Camera angles and UI issues cause confusion and discomfort, sometimes leading to motion sickness and awkward navigation.
  • Game suffers from bugs, performance problems, lack of polish, and absence of key features like control remapping and character customization.

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 10% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for their cute and cozy art style, with stunning visuals and gorgeous dungeons contributing to an enjoyable aesthetic. However, some users note occasional issues such as gritty textures and minor inconsistencies, suggesting the visuals could benefit from further polish. Overall, the charming art style is a highlight, even if technical refinements are needed.

    • “The graphics are absolutely stunning everywhere, and the dungeons are so gorgeous!”
    • “The graphics are very nice and I absolutely love the art style.”
    • “Art style is gorgeous.”
    • “Graphics seem a little gritty at times especially if it's something below you or far away in town, like it's a Nintendo Switch port or something with heavy shimmering.”
    • “Art style needs some improvement; overall a decent cooking/adventure game that definitely needs polish, though it is very relaxing otherwise.”
    • “The controls are poor and clunky for mouse and keyboard (you cannot use the mouse in menus, further exacerbated by key bindings not being available); simple things like a dialog box in the tutorial stating an NPC is to the west when it is actually to the east suggest this was rushed out the door without the care the game design and aesthetic show.”

  • gameplay

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 30% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    Gameplay is enjoyable and casual, combining cozy cooking mechanics with action-packed, souls-like dungeon crawling. Players appreciate the option to automate tasks, though some mention control issues, especially with mouse input. The blend of cute graphics, accessible combat, and depth in upgrades offers a unique, pleasing experience for fans of both cooking sims and adventure games.

    • “Unlike the other dungeon crawling restaurant sim on the market, you can eventually hire staff to run your restaurant or dispatch the adventurer's guild into the dungeon in your stead if you decide that you prefer one aspect of gameplay over the other.”
    • “A nice in-depth cooking mechanic with stuff to unlock and upgrade with randomly generated dungeons featuring souls-like combat with some difficult bosses at the end.”
    • “Overall, Delicious Dungeon is a very great game that brings you both that part of cozy, casual gameplay you want and that action-adventure part.”
    • “The game looks great, but the gameplay experience is ruined even on high-end setups.”
    • “So far, the aesthetic is pleasing and cozy, the fighting mechanic is easy, and like others have said the controls for mouse need major improvement, but didn't stop me from having a decent time.”
    • “So yeah it looks good and there's some good ideas but unless this is the exact amount of balance between story/gameplay/theming you are looking for there is probably a similarly independent game that could use your support that would be a better fit for you.”

  • music

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for being fantastic, cozy, and fitting the overall vibe perfectly. Players enjoy unlocking and selecting soundtracks, enhancing the immersive and relaxing atmosphere.

    • “The music is sooo good and the whole vibe is just so cozy.”
    • “Enjoyed unlocking the soundtracks while progressing and chilling to it while cooking.”
    • “Love that I can choose the music in the restaurant.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story presents an interesting setting with unique characters but lacks depth and explanation, particularly regarding the protagonist's out-of-place human identity. Some quest issues and gameplay limitations disrupt narrative flow, making progression occasionally frustrating. Overall, the story is serviceable but not fully developed or immersive.

    • “There's no character creation, not really a surprise, but there's also no picking of gender at the start. In a world full of cat and bird people, you seem to be the only human. I don't know if the story elaborates on why, but it feels very out of place.”
    • “The combat could be streamlined a little better, and I do wish you could keep partial prepped ingredients (I wasted so many before I realized what was going on), but in the end, you can just push towards a boss to progress the story, hire mercs to go get your food (though there is a quality drop in ingredients), and make everything yourself in the kitchen.”
    • “So yeah, it looks good and there's some good ideas, but unless this is the exact balance between story, gameplay, and theming you're looking for, there is probably a similarly independent game that could use your support and be a better fit for you.”
    • “There's no character creation or gender selection at the start. In a world full of cat and bird people, you seem to be the only human. The story does not explain why, making it feel very out of place.”
    • “Major issue with a quest I found within the first 30 minutes of play.”
    • “When it was time to make the second dish, the game didn't recognize I had chopped onions in my inventory for the quest goal, which stopped the entire game and forced me to restart with a new save.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, resulting in subpar performance despite its modest graphical demands. Significant improvements and polishing are needed to enhance overall performance.

    • “- Second the performance.”
    • “Desperately needs some polish and performance optimization.”
    • “The optimization for this game is quite bad.”
    • “Performance is surprisingly bad for a game that is not trying to be photorealistic; optimizations would be appreciated in that department.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game features a cozy atmosphere but involves noticeable grinding, particularly for ingredients and money, which may make extended play sessions feel repetitive. However, it appeals to players seeking a less tedious cooking experience despite some camera issues.

    • “Over time, the dungeon feels very grindy.”
    • “Great game, really cozy, but a bit grindy for ingredients and money, so it's not a good game to play for too long in one session.”
