'Overcooked!' (ALL) Free On Epic Games Store (Again)

by Rainier on June 5, 2020 @ 12:40 a.m. PDT

Working as a team, you and your fellow chefs must prepare, cook and serve up a variety of tasty orders before the baying customers storm out in a huff.

The Onion Kingdom is in danger and only the finest cooking can save it. Players will journey through a campaign mode featuring a whole host of cruel and unusual kitchens on their quest to become master chefs capable of conquering an ancient edible evil which plagues the land!

Traverse through the campaign solo or engage in classic, chaotic couch co-op for up to four players. You’ll have to cook a range of different dishes and work together to become the ultimate cooking team! You can even go head to head in nine versus competitive levels for either two or four players.

Overcooked was designed from the ground up to be a co-operative experience. While some co-op games devolve into a race between players to hoover up loot or a charge to find the next enemy to kill, Overcooked is a game where teamwork is the most important factor. As the orders come in player will need to decide how best to divide the tasks between themselves, and will need to communicate in order to keep on top of the chaos. The controls are simple and setting so familiar that players of all ages and abilities can take part together, but only a well-oiled team with good co-ordination will be able to best each increasingly challenging kitchen.

Once Overcooked!, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has run its course, Epic Games will unveil its next free "mystery" game on June 11, 2020.

Key Features:

  • An epic co-operative drop-in/drop-out campaign which sees you travelling across the Onion Kingdom, cooking food in increasingly bizarre locations
