The Lost Legends of Redwall: Feasts & Friends

The Lost Legends of Redwall: Feasts & Friends is a cooking simulator based on the Redwall book series.

This game was originally for iOS, released back in 2021 and ported onto Steam. I don’t exactly love the idea of playing a mobile game onmy PC, but considering I only have Android, this was the only way I was ever going to play this game.

You play as Scout-Chef Rootsworth as he cooks up dishes for the cast of characters featured in Redwall and even competes in a town cook-off. And… that’s pretty much it. The story isn’t exactly high stakes or anything, it’s more cosy and light-hearted. As someone who has never read the books (or even knew they existed), it’s more like a short story spinoff. It’s nice, and I liked the dialogue, but there isn’t much to bite on. I’m sure fans of the books would love the interactions and the expansion to the Redwall lore.

But enough of that, let’s get cooking. Every day, you’ll have a customer with their own likes and dislikes of certain ingredients, so you better choose a recipe that fits their preferences. You’ll also need to make sure you have all the ingredients in your inventory first, which can either be bought from the merchant or have scouts find them for you for free; however, that takes real-time for them to return… or it would seem. As it turns out, cooking automatically skips the timer. No need to wait an hour every time you need ingredients when you’re short on cash. And let me tell you, you will rarely be short on money.
