BattleCakes is a cozy RPG from the studio Volcano Bean. Play as a customizable cupcake person and explore the town you live in. Talk to other cake-like characters around town and even solve some mysteries. I took a look at the demo and found it to have a very colorful–and sweet–style. You can solve the problems around town when you head out the gates and take on the gumdroplins, some goblin gum drops in the park. You can battle, you do indeed have a sword, but you can also defeat the enemies by befriending them.
BattleCakes: A Sweet Adventure
This is pretty cool. I really like the art, it’s just so upbeat and enjoyable. It offers what’s best for this genre, RPG, mixed with a cozy Adventure Time esque art style. Interacting with the town, there is a good host of characters on your side. Good ol’ Chuck the loaf of bread balances things out in the beginning of the exploration.
I think it’s interesting that you can defeat enemies by befriending them. I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered this mechanic–specifically–in an RPG! I have played many games attempting to play the pacificist role in-game but usually run into some issue where I can’t consistently keep that up. It reminds me of some secondary sources like KOTOR. That was the first game where I found out you could choose how to create your character, and if you’d like make them good or bad. This is something kind of new though actually in BattleCakes.
Battlecakes Overall
The world of the demo for Battlecakes leaves me intrigued, and I encourage you to spend time investigating the full release now, but wow, pretty good 5 minutes of exploring. I don’t think they will need to work on the conceptual aspects any further before the final project, it really just needs more content aesthetics like this. The video is above, but if you’re interested in checking out this game it is now on steam. Thanks for reading MrDavePizza.com Stay a while, and explore.
