Deep Dish Dungeon is now available as a cooperative dungeon crawler about making meals from whatever you can scrounge up, echoing Delicious in Dungeon.
Deep Dish Dungeon launches on Steam as a cooperative dungeon crawler with fighting, puzzles, crafting, and survival cooking, like Delicious in Dungeon
Deep Dish Dungeon launches today after more than two years of waiting for a Delicious in Dungeon game
Background: a long wait for a Delicious in Dungeon game
The wish for a Delicious in Dungeon game has been present for more than two years, with the original writer hoping for either an official project or a legally distinct one. That particular request may still require patience. The new arrival, Deep Dish Dungeon, comes out today and is described as reminiscent of the delightful and morbid anime while still going for its own thing.
Development: Deep Dish Dungeon turns dungeon crawling into meal crafting
On the surface, Deep Dish Dungeon may look like what the original writer calls a friendslop game, a label they also dislike. It is presented as less curated than Big Walk, but its titular dungeon is described as handcrafted rather than an infinitely replayable type deal. The core activities include fighting skeletons, solving puzzles, crafting some tools, and cooking meals that are important to survival.
The cooking system is where the Delicious in Dungeon comparison becomes clearest. The original writer says it is not quite as eclectic as the anime, and players will not exactly be having gourmet meals like Laios and companions do. Sometimes the available food is a humble pie or corn and beans. Collecting recipes still matters because better recipes give more options for stat boost, making cooking your own meals a worthwhile endeavour.
Latest progress: what the launch reveals about its systems
The dungeon also contains puzzly elements, and enemy behaviours apparently require distinct reactions. The original writer stresses that players cannot just go swinging their weapons willy nilly. A dash of Metroidvania elements is included, although it is not entirely clear where they come in.
Deep Dish Dungeon supports solo play and up to two friends. The original writer guesses the game is more designed around cooperative play, while leaving room for that view to change with more time.
What readers should expect from the release
Deep Dish Dungeon is out today on Steam, and an official launch trailer is available on YouTube. For readers drawn to the idea of a Delicious in Dungeon game, this is not the exact project they have asked for, but it offers a cooperative dungeon crawler built around making do with ingredients, cooking, puzzles, and survival. Spoiler note: no story turns or endings are discussed.
