Atari has surprise-dropped Mega Cat Studios’ Meals Battle: Culinary Fight on Steam at this time. Beforehand, the title was solely out there on Atari’s personal VCS console.

Meals Battle: Culinary Fight is an area shooter tackle the basic Meals Battle arcade sport. There’s native and on-line multiplayer, 4 modes, six maps, and even split-screen.

Surprisingly, a number of the advertising and marketing info focuses on what goes across the multiplayer itself. There’s an Atariverse hub the place you possibly can discuss to characters from different video games and the creators of the unique Meals Battle. You can even discover circuit boards to unlock Atari arcade video games, and extra beauty objects for character customization. Which sounds rad, however I nonetheless don’t know a lot about how the sport really performs. 

The 4 sport modes are Buffet Brawl, King of the Cone, Cookie Collector, and Crumbling, which aren’t very descriptive names. The Steam itemizing has a tag for PvE, which is recommended within the trailer however not within the retailer blurb.

Atari followers appear to look favorably on the VCS model. Probably the most important criticism I may discover was that, as a result of the VCS is a US-only console and it has a small userbase, it was generally troublesome to search out individuals to play with. Hopefully, with the Steam launch, issues can be extra energetic.

Meals Battle: Culinary Fight is now out there for the Atari VCS and PC. Console variations are deliberate.
