Plus it’s also free to download, and you can’t say fairer than that.Ĭuisine Royale returns leaner and with a shiny visual upgrade, though the authentic Royale experience is a little lost under the supernatural mechanics.ĬRSED: FOAD is available now on PS4, PS5 (reviewed), Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PCĭisclaimer: In order to complete this review, we were provided with a promotional copy of the game. I can’t in good conscience recommend it over PUBG for that pure, authentic Royale scratch, but what it offers is enough to give it a blast. There doesn’t appear to be a lick of Fortnite or CoD here which some may find some relief in.Īs a hardened player of both Warzone and Fortnite jumping into CRSED was a different kind of experience and whilst I’ve been playing it on and off throughout the year and since the games original release, this package feels like the a full product ready to go and that’s a real boom for those who are tired of the formulaic genre.Ĭuisine Royale started as a pisstake of PUBG and now it feels like its weirder younger brother who sits in his room with the lights off and a ouija board, attempting to summon demons whilst PUBG is in the garden training for a Spec-Ops mission and not laughing at jokes.ĬRSED: FOAD probably won’t ever see major numbers like at the very height of PUBG and its revamp may have just come a little too late for the masses to really be all that bothered, but it’s a fun quirky indie distraction from the mainstream support acts that looks better than ever before. It’s difficult to compare it to other Royales because it’s PUBG with smooth jazz and summonings. It’s a Royale for those who crave that PUBG experience but with a bit more madness about it.

It’s not really supposed to.Īnd that’s really the beauty of what CRSED is. The shop is best avoided until you’ve had a few games under your belt and you know the lay of the land and what kind of characters you’re after, it all makes sense. The CRSED collection of *things* is rather overwhelming at first, and the game certainly does a poor job of explaining anything to you. I don’t begrudge a free game offering in-game purchases, despite others doing so. Amazingly a little more expensive than the smallest V-Bucks pack, but there’s a fair amount you can put them towards. The more expensive packs include a good number of crowns you can use to buy in-game cosmetics, with crown packs starting at £7.99. What mystical summoning you can conjure is dependent on your character choice, and there’s quite the collection of Royale hunters to choose from, including a thunder god, a cowboy/girl, a shaman and purchasable packs such as a Metal Zombie (that looks awesome), a Biker Queen who looks like she’s been ripped directly from PUBG, a vicar with an AK and my personal favourite the Fire Dragon that wields Japanese swords and kicks all kinds of ass.ĬRSED itself is a free download, and the aforementioned character packs range from £8 to £16, depending on what’s included.

Whilst they’re temporary, a majority of them are way OP, so avoiding attacks with summoning creatures is your best bet if you have nothing to defend yourself.
#Cuisine royale. professional
While the battle royale professional in you may want to keep it focused on your weaponry and allow you to move at your own pace, the reality is you’ll get left behind if you don’t steer into the skid of the supernatural elements. The best way to play CRSED is just to let it happen. From the likes of zombie summoning (which, rather hilariously, has the undead following you around for a period having your back), invisibility, super speed or turning you into a beastly monster, the range on offer is certainly a fun twist on the usual fodder, and makes PUBG look decidedly dull in comparison. What CRSED brings to the genre over the other players at this particular table is the mythical mechanics and supernatural powers.

Crawling through the grass allows for methodical movement and stealth becomes a more obvious way of moving through locations. The ‘big map, less players’ aspect of CRSED allows for somewhat more tactical play, as instead of a bonkers free-for-all landing in hot spots that can knock you out in seconds (hey there, Lazy Lake), you’ll rarely feel panicked immediately, so moving into the safe zones forces you to slow your pace, as you have no real idea where anybody is. The map features vehicles, so if you need to move to avoid the map decreasing in size there’s some easy enough getaways.

As with any royale it’s a slow build if you start in quiet places, but particularly in CRSED as I’ve never played a match with anymore than 35-odd players, making the map enormous, and very rarely will you run into players in the first five or six minutes of the game. CRSED lands you on a typical royale island, including large open spaces and abandoned buildings full of joyful loot the snaffle up and use in your defence against literally everyone else.
