Cooking games often tend to feel like a collection of various minigames, but Snack and Slash is changing the perception of what a cooking game is with its infusion of hack-and-slash gameplay. Realism is completely thrown out the window in this game, as players wield a massive sword-like kitchen knife and cut down various ingredients. Ingredients must still fit with the recipes players are trying to make and a timer will continuously tick down as players scramble to slay each ingredient and complete the cooking process.
Cutting down ingredients may sound like a simple task but Snack and Slash ramps up the difficulty as various food items will actively run and avoid the player. Ingredients will also be hidden away across a fairly expansive map and players will have to source their ingredients from specific zones.
