Overview

Dungeon Munchies 2 is the sequel to the quirky monster-cooking adventure Dungeon Munchies, now in Early Access on Steam. Developed and published by maJAJa, this side-scrolling action RPG puts you in the apron of a zombie chef who specializes in cooking Earth's monsters.

Your boss, a necromancer named Simmer, has summoned you to explore the ruins of a space colony on the other side of a Stargate, with the goal of opening a chain restaurant that showcases your culinary and business skills.

The game retains the familiar side-scrolling, adventure-having, character-boosting, monster-fighting action of its predecessor, but expands the setting to extra-terrestrial cuisine. You'll pick through vast ruins, make discoveries that could redefine monster cuisine, and face cosmic monsters that, apparently, someone in their right mind would want to eat.

Highlights

  • Side-Scrolling Action RPG: Combat and exploration unfold in a 2D side-scrolling format, blending hack-and-slash gameplay with RPG character progression.
  • Monster Cooking Theme: The core hook is cooking the monsters you defeat, turning them into dishes that boost your character's abilities.
  • Story-Rich Adventure: The narrative follows your zombie chef and necromancer boss as they explore a space colony, with a focus on discovery and culinary innovation.
  • Early Access Title: Currently in Early Access, meaning the game is actively developed and may evolve based on player feedback.
  • Full Controller Support & Steam Workshop: The game supports controllers fully and includes Steam Workshop integration, allowing for community-created content.
  • Adjustable Text Size: Accessibility feature that lets players adjust text size for readability.

Who It's For

If you enjoyed the original Dungeon Munchies, this sequel is a direct continuation of its quirky, food-themed action RPG formula. It's also a great pick for fans of side-scrolling action games with RPG elements, pixel graphics, and a story-rich campaign.

The monster-cooking twist adds a unique layer that sets it apart from typical hack-and-slash titles. Since it's in Early Access, players who like to follow a game's development and provide feedback will find it especially appealing.
