Gameplay

CRSED: F.O.A.D. puts several dozens of players on a map surrounded by a shrinking ring of death and makes them fight each other until there is only one standing. Players use weapons, items and vehicles they find right on the map.[2] Unlike other battle royale games, there is no parachuting/insertion phase[3] and players are spawned randomly all across the map right after matchmaking is finished. It's possible to play in both first-person and third-person modes, but in the latter case players are accompanied by flying camera drones to uncover positions of those who peek around corners.

It's possible to play solo or in a team of two or four players[4].

While all the weapons in the game are based on real ones (half of them came right from Enlisted[5]), players can also use supernatural items (i.e. lunar gravity boots or health boosting cigar[6]) and supernatural skills [7](i.e. zombie summoning, temporory invisibility or turning into a beast[8]).

Most of the skills (called "signs" and "rituals") are unlocked by grinding through the game, but some are unique to one of the seven available characters (called "Champions"[9]).

The tournament characters are fighting at is called F.O.A.D. (or Fullfillment of All Desires), according to the developers[10], but there is almost no information on what it's really about inside the game itself.

There are 4 maps available: summer and winter versions of Normandy, Island of Siberia [11]and Mexico.

Development

At first the game became available in 2018 as an April Fools joke[12] based on the engine of Enlisted [13]– another online shooter under development by the studio at the time. In June 2018 publisher decided [14] to release Cuisine Royale as a standalone title and started the open beta test soon after that. The game was officially launched[15] on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox One in December 2019. In January 2020 Cuisine Royale became the third most downloaded[16] free-to-play title in PlayStation store.

Originally the game was promoted as a parody title mocking PUBG and other free-to-play shooters and was mostly known as a shooter where you can fight using kitchenware[17] [18]as both weapons and armor, but in 2019 the developers gradually dropped most of the kitchen-related items and jokes (i.e. replaced comical shopping plastic bags with tactical bags[19]). In December 2020 they dropped "Cuisine Royale" name as well, switching it to CRSED: F.O.A.D. All kitchenware screenshots are now no longer available at the official website[20].

CRSED: F.O.A.D. is available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility with native versions coming soon.[21] PC version boasts DLSS support that gives 40% performance boost in CRSED: F.O.A.D. according to NVidia[22].

Reception

Cuisine Royale PS4 release version got 73/100 (average) rating on Metacritic[23]. According to SixAxis[24], the game "doesn’t do anything too different from the battle royales that came before it, but it really leans into its own brand of humour", while The XboxHub called it [25] "a solid, enjoyable game with a wacky persona". PC Gamer's reviewer said that "Part of the appeal, at least for me, is the lack of waiting around for the game to get started". GameSpew mentioned [26] that "while the push to purchase/unlock items can be irritating, there’s still a lot of fun to be had here".

User score on Steam currently stands as very positive[27].
