Kinny and the Cosmic Cauldron is a delightful little pantry-building roguelite where you collect questionable ingredients to feed increasingly ravenous monsters… so they don't eat you instead. It leans more cozy than challenging, but I'm 100% here for the witchy vibes, lovely pixel-art, and clever synergies. Story + Gameplay Trapped in the Stewpendous Spoons, Lyla must combine and level up ingredients using the Cosmic Cauldron to satiate hungry aliens for (30) days. Start a run by picking one of four difficulties and selecting three starting cards. Each round, toss up to twenty ingredients into a pot, score points based on how often the bits bump into each other, and score bonus points after everything settles. At the beginning of each day and end of each round, add one of six ingredients to your pantry. Every other week or so, fight a picky eater. Controls. Great with mouse. Deck ve
There's some charm to this game. I like the cast of characters. But, beyond unlocking more ingredients, there really isn't any compelling progression. The risk/reward of the special events never really pan out to one's favor. In fact, as one unlocks more, the game becomes more difficult as synergies become more and more rare. With only a few families of ingredients, there really isn't too much variation between the viable builds one can create. Additionally RNGesus must highly dislike me, as I find I'll start a strategy, only to never roll the advanced ingredients that would fit ideally into my deck. In the end, this game just boils down into a slot machine.
I really liked the demo so I got the game on release. It has super cute graphics, the animations are smooth, and the overall experience is very satisfying (not the most cerebral, but sometimes it's fun to just throw ingredients in a pot and watch Numbers Go Up). I would recommend it with a single caveat--the controller support is bad. I'm picking "Yes" for "Do you recommend this game?" in general, but if you plan to play it with controller, it is a "No" right now. Since the devs announced that it was Steam Deck verified, I though it would have good controller support, but it's actually quite bad. Basically the right joystick/mousepad is used for the mouse, and then you press the joystick or click to select things. Sometimes the A button works for selection, sometimes it doesn't. If you've played the demo, you'll understand that the game does seem like it should be navigable with d-pad
The game mode is excellent—I'd give it a 9 out of 10. However, as your level increases, the number of cards in the pool grows, making it increasingly difficult to assemble a coherent deck. Many of the card and relic bonuses feel like raindrops falling into the ocean—they serve no real purpose other than polluting the pool. Having both low-tier and high-tier cards mixed together in the same pool is a serious flaw in a roguelike. After six hours of play, I still haven't cleared the game—and among the many roguelikes I've played, this is the first time I've encountered such an issue. "Great gameplay, but the pool design drags down the experience. Recommended for seasoned Roguelike veterans who enjoy a challenge, but not so much for newcomers or players looking for a smooth, straightforward clear." "Rating: 3.5/5 — Give it a shot, but don't expect perfection."
TLDR: I would recommend this game if they sorted out controller support. As of right now it is Steam deck verified but CANT USE A GAMEPAD! Its mouse only and has NO KEYBINDS (editable or otherwise hardcoded) so you cant hack together a working layout. I can understand the devs not prioritizing controller but its not even that much work, like every action could be a buttonpress instead, scrolling through the balls/ingredients in a pot could just snap from one to the other etc. I wanted to play this on my Rog Xbox Ally X but its a hassle. Ill keep the game and hope the devs sort out controllers in the future. If they do i will update my review as well.
Honestly so far the balance doesn't seem great, its a roguelike so rng will play a role in it heavily but at the moment I feel like it doesn't feel great. Some of the routes don't feel like they work. For example the monster hunting has nagas which drop tentacles and fish, which turn into kraken and sharks. The fish can be turned into sushi, which look like they have some support. whereas the kraken just stay kraken. They aren't even counted as monsters so can't be interacted with in the same way. Also i feel like build around options probably show up a little to late, i feel like the game should throw at least a couple choices early on so the player has some decisions to make. I feel like a little weighting in the item choices in the shop would be good, it really sucks to be constantly getting thrown the items for a build but then the shop is just 5 relics that don't work with each ot
