Our team has been hard at work on pulling the game together for this event and for our upcoming demo - we are beyond excited to share it with you all.

Hey fellow Combat Chefs, Oliver and Iliana here, two members of the micro team cooking up GladiEATers; the pairing of cooking and turn-based strategy!

Welcome to the CALoseum, where the CAL particle has been discovered and has the power of animating the inanimate calories in food! After years of GladiEATer warfare, nations have decided to solve disputes by way of GladiEATer combat in the CALoseum.

The best Combat Chefs from around the world have been conscripted in this battle, each with their own Culinary Specialities, unique team of GladiEATers, and Stories you can immerse yourself in.

Have I forgotten to mention that this also includes you? That’s right! Play as one of these Combat Chefs to cook & command your way to the top!

As a starter, let us introduce you to the game and its features.



Have you ever cracked an egg? Or perhaps baked a loaf of bread? You do exactly that as you prepare food in fun, bite-sized Mini Games, before watching it come to life as a GladiEATer! Remember, the better your cooking, the stronger your creature. Cook up a feast of a team before time runs out!


You are now at the CALoseum and are ready to battle the world’s greatest Combat Chefs. The time has come for you to command your food creatures in deep turn-based strategy. Your potential team of over 50 GladiEATers with over 150 special hand-animated pixel abilities is all prepared, impatiently waiting for you!


Seven of the world's best Combat Chefs are here, with their own tales, unlockable recipes and unique Gladieaters. We cannot wait to tell you more about the special place the Combat Chefs hold in our hearts in a later update!
