Steam reviews

What players say

Players love it as a free, chaotic co-op kitchen game, though it is strongest with friends and its content runs thin once the tavern is fully upgraded.

Most players recommend the game, and Steam's totals are strongly positive. Many players praise its chaotic co-op with friends, the quick and easy-to-learn loop of preparing a menu, cooking, serving and cleaning, and the dwarf-and-goblin fantasy humour. Players also value that it is free to play, with cosmetics rather than paid progression. Some players say it feels like a less stressful Overcooked, while others see Overcooked-style chaos with its own charm. Many players complain that content runs out after the tavern is maxed and that solo play is lonely or overwhelming. Some reviewers report disconnects, crashes, lag and memory problems, mostly in multiplayer. Recent reviews are more mixed, with several complaining about bugs, unfinished progression and a save-file deletion. Helpful reviews from the last year are overwhelmingly positive.

Praised

  • Chaotic co-op with friends

    Players say the game is at its best with three or more friends, where the rush of orders and running around creates constant comedy.

    Many players
  • Free with no paid progression

    Players praise that it is free to play, with no battle pass or premium currency, and that paid DLC is cosmetic only.

    Many players
  • Fast, simple, fun loop

    Players find the menu design, cooking, serving and fast-paced tavern rush easy to learn and satisfying, with progression that is well paced.

    Many players
  • Dwarf fantasy humour

    Players enjoy the goofy dwarf and goblin setting, the customers and the cosmetic skins, which give the game a playful atmosphere.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Content runs out early

    Players say the game gets repetitive once the tavern is fully upgraded, with few objectives, one map and no new challenges.

    Many players
  • Weak solo play

    Players find the game boring or overwhelming alone and say it needs friends to be enjoyable.

    Some players
  • Disconnects and performance

    Players report frequent disconnects, crashes, lag and a memory leak, especially during multiplayer sessions with several players.

    Some players
  • Unfair difficulty and pacing

    Players say staff unlock late, thieves and special customers appear early, and the hard mode is overwhelming, while controls and animations feel slow.

    Some players
Who it suits
Groups of friends or families who want a free, silly co-op game to play in short sessions.
Who should skip it
Players who want a deep single-player experience or long-term content, or who experience frequent disconnects.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with short playtimes mostly praise the chaotic fun, while those with many hours more often say the content runs out once the tavern is maxed.
