Gameplay
Battle Chef Brigade is a video game that combines gameplay from tile-matching puzzle video games and side-scrolling brawler games.[1]
You start cooking by dropping ingredients into your cookware like Tetris.[2] With the ingredients in the 4x4 cooking zone you can stir them around like in Puyo Puyo.[3] When Mina aligns flavor gems and match the same colors the gems combine to increase their rank and the quality of the dish.[1] The more you match and rank up the gems the higher quality the dish is. After you've finished cooking, and before the time limit is up, you have to deliver the dish to the judge.[2]
