The supreme silliness and delight of “Battle Chef Brigade” is a welcome surprise on Nintendo’s Switch. A fantastic game just arrived on the Nintendo Switch, and there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of it.
The game is “Battle Chef Brigade,” and it’s a true delight — charming, beautiful, and smart. Best of all, it’s like no other game that’s come out this year.
That’s great news if you’re playing “Battle Chef Brigade,” but it’s unfortunate if you’re in the position of convincing people to check it out (hi!). Explaining what it is takes some effort, but here’s my best attempt.
You play as Mina, a fledgling cook from a small village who wants to join the ranks of the world’s most serious chefs: the “Battle Chef Brigade”!
Mina is upset. She’s stuck in a small town, working for her mother in her family’s restaurant. She feels trapped.
The only way out for Mina, she realizes, is through cooking.
