CRSED: Cuisine Royale News

Hail to all the last ones standing!

Today we publish a major update for Cuisine Royale, it is time to reveal final important new features to come with it. We kept the really cool ones for today! At the end of the text you’ll find a full change log as usual.

Sniper Annie and bouncer Clyde now have the company of Itz Ocelotl - a war time shaman of the Aztec people. 

In the game he will be present in four outfits: standard Aztec warrior, High Priest, Jaguar Knight and Eagle Knight.

An Aztec warrior does not wear pale face underwear. But he does wear talismans, giving him some tactical bonuses. Together with Ocelotl you’ll be able to unlock and use 9 talismans giving you additional souls for rituals, kills, food consumption, jumps as well as a 30% discount for mystic signs and ritual usage. Ocelotl  can also wear any of the current masks.

Pick your costume wisely, since having sinner souls in a battle becomes even more important.

FROM NOW ON EVERY CHARACTER HAS A UNIQUE ABILITY

The ability is activated for sinner souls. So, now the question of which character to play is not purely aesthetic anymore, but a tactical choice.


Annie “Pinup” Ashley can slow down time by half for three seconds, creating a time paradox. This is mostly useful to aim better and blow the enemy’s head off from greater distance. Especially since in this state Annie ‘feels’ her victims much better and can deliver pin-accurate shots even when the lighting conditions or enemy visibility are poor. 

After time is over, temporal fugue sling shots Annie back to the present time, so be ready as  that 1.5 seconds you stole will catch up with you really fast.

The time paradox means Annie can kill in the past, changing the present. Or die in the future, changing her past. Sound strange? Well, that is what a paradox is all about. Playing with time - is a dangerous thing.

Annie’s ability - is the first implementation of time paradox technology in multiplayer games, and we are sure you’ll like it!



Clyde “Dozen” Mullican will really prove he can be worth a dozen in a fight! He can call upon the fury of his hidden personality - the Beast. in this state Clyde becomes faster, stronger and thinks only about killing ‘em all.

Though while being in a Beast Fury, he doesn’t remember how to shoot or even wield any melee weapons, so he switches to killing with bare hands. Anyway, this ability can switch the situation in a fight if Clyde is cornered. And increase in running speed can help him close the distance if his goal is to corner somebody else…



Last but not least, Itz Ocelotl. In each of his appearances, Ocelotl is a mighty shaman. He can open the door to the spirit world and move through it to another place in our reality. 

while traveling the spirit world, he is invisible and intangible for others. But he also can not use any material objects - including driving or using stationary machine guns. Also, he still leaves footprints in the sand, marking his presence. Smoke from the Cigar of Ogum exists in all worlds at the same time, also demasking him. Remember, they warned that smoking kills?..

Killing Ocelotl while in the spirit world is impossible, but an observant enemy can notice a strange flickering in the air moments before Ocelotl steps out. This can help to prepare a rather warm welcome for him. So beware and plan your trip beforehand. Used wisely, this ability can help you either escape a difficult fight, or prepare a clever ambush from a direction nobody expects.

Good day, dear experts in style and good weaponry!

As you could have guessed, the major update of Cuisine Royale “Weird West: Age of Nagual” will bring you a number of new ingame items.
PzB 39
In the firearms section, first of all, welcome to the new German anti-tank rifle PzB 39, a simplified version of heavy rifle PzB 38. This precise and deadly weapon with enormous bullet speed will be a good competitor to the much beloved PTRS. Unlike it, the PzB 39 comes with 10 rounds of ammo in a weapon-based holder. On the downside, the German rifle has a much lower rate of fire, since manual reloading after every shot takes about 5 seconds, making an additional sidearm weapon almost a necessity.

M1917 Enfield
American magazine rifle M1917 Enfield, also known as United States Rifle, cal .30, Model of 1917. It was designed in 1917 and took part in all major wars of the 20th century up to the war in Vietnam. Same as the Springfield 1903, M1917 basically copied the Mauser Gewehr 98 locking mechanism. Overall it is a good and precise bolt-action rifle for sharpshooters. It’s magazine holds 5 rounds and is manually loaded with ability to add rounds at any time as well as cut the loading sequence in the middle at any time for a needed shot.

M1941 Johnson

American semi automatic rifle M1941 Johnson, using a short recoil operation mechanism and carrying 10 rounds in it’s round fixed magazine. Ammo loading is done through an opening on the side by using two 5-round clips. A large magazine capacity and good rate of fire to compensate for long loading cycle and slightly lower damage output.

Ithaca 37
American Ithaca 37, developed by John Browning himself is one of the oldest representatives of pump-action shotguns still produced. Actually, it is maybe the best known shotgun of the last century, being used from the D-Day battle operation to filming in famous police action Hollywood movies of the 90s. Well known to all of you 12 cal. gauge, used in Browning Auto and Luftwaffe, deals massive damage in close quarters fire and the tube magazine holds 7 of them.

Dreyse M1907 developed by the famous Schmeiser, a new addition to a collection of German pistols of the First World War. The pistol is named after Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse - inventor of a needle-gun and first bolt-action mechanism at the end of the 19th century. It deals rather typical pistol level damage and can benefit from a bit faster magazine change cycle.

All of the above mentioned firearms will be found as loot in the game. Their detailed specifications we will add in the “Items” section on our website.

Cold weapons are restocked with three new items. Those are two Aztec obsidian swords: Macuahuitl and Royal Macuahuitl, and a baseball bate. All three items are considered special ones and will be available as a starting weapon after being studied in the Workshop or purchased in special packs in our shop. Or you can just loot them from enemy bodies.

The first addition is a linked portal trap, allowing anyone stepping on one of two seels to teleport to the second one. It can be used either for a sudden tactical retreat from the action zone or to throw enemies away somewhere to disadvantageous location. Naturally, this trap will not teleport out to the Dark Zone.

Second new trap sets up fake premium fridge. It is an improved version of a well used regular fridge trap and it’s usage can improve your maime & ambush gameplay. We strongly advise you to equip slowing “Quicksands” trap and grenade of zombie trap with it. Your enemies will find it irresistible…

And last but not least, dreadful ritual of Zombie Apocalypse (inthe form of regular and catalyzed versions, different it sinner souls price to activate). It will summon huge hoard of angry zombies from the Dark Zone. They will keep moving to the center for the whole 5 minutes, killing everyone in the vicinity. When the ritual is over, or is painted over, zombies will fall into ashes and disappear. Please ensure your own safety on the roof or in the bunker before starting this ritual.


Clyde and Annie will get three new underwear models each, increasing reward in sinner souls for a kill by 10, 20 and 50 respectively. New masks: Aztec mosaic and Stoneface mask will decrease game cost in slot-machine by 30%, and Roundface mask will replace primed grenades with a jackpot.

Finally, you might like the Aztec gravestone. It looks great against the background of ancient Aztec pyramids and ruins, and features decent 35% sinner soul transfer to the next battle (up to 100). You will be able to unlock it in the Workshop. But try your best to never need one afterwards!

Have a great battletime there!

The release of the Cuisine Royale update “Weird West: Age of Nagual” will not only bring a new location to the game, but also new game mechanics and items. Today we will talk about one of those additions, a very visually-pleasing technical innovation that will make the game even more stunning.

At GDC, in March earlier this year, we showcased our scalable real-time global lighting solution for large scenes - Global Illumination, and now, we are pleased to announce that it will be implemented with the release of the aforementioned update.

Dynamic locations, with attention to detail, are among the hallmarks of Cuisine Royale and Enlisted. In our games, you can see and experience variations in seasonal and weather conditions and different times of a day, all on a single, larger-scale map, and combined with destructionable objects and a diverse landscape.

With Global Illumination, not only have we created realistic and natural lighting that allows for a greater sense of presence in the environment, but it is also able to adapt to accurately portray visuals according to the atmospheric circumstances, such as weather, time of day, etc, for both indoor and outdoor environments.

Furthermore, our solution is dynamic. If you destroy a large object, light will fill the space the object left in a more realistic way, and if you create an obstacle, it will accordingly generate reflections and indirect shadows to create a greater sense of realism and visual beauty.

We consider this solution to be unique in many ways, and we are glad that our games will receive an additional advantage as a result. While this feature will improve the visuals of our games, we have also worked towards ensuring that the introduction of Global Illumination won’t have a negative impact on game performance for different PC configurations and consoles. The switching on and off of this feature will be available, and optional, for the time being.

You can find the settings for Global Illumination in the Graphic Settings section after the release of the update “Weird West: Age of Nagual”.

We hope you enjoy the new look of Cuisine Royale!

Friends, we continue to introduce you to new features in the Cuisine Royale release version “Weird West: Age of Nagual”. In it, both in Mexico and Normandy you will be able to meet a new kind of bandit. The “one armed” types.



A new way to get useful items. But first you’ll need to find them scattered about the map and actually be able to use one, since your enemies are not going to wait by idly while you play.

Playing one armed bandits in the middle of the battlefield you can win regular or rare weapons, ammo, armour, food, modules and other loot. As long as you can afford to pull that handle. Or as long as you are not shot from behind. But hey, you have a chance to win even something like a Jetpack! Or hit the jackpot - and a pile of gold.

Although, sometimes luck can be tough and instead of a prize you might receive a pack of armed and ticking frag grenades...


Required to play a game and pull the handle. You can not transfer unspent coins between battles, so no reason to save them! And if you kill someone who has already looted them - even better, feel free to grab your golden loot.


Can now give you a bonus to play slot machines or manage your gold. Equip one and get:

• Jackpot increase of 30%, 60% or 100%;
  
• Game cost decrease of 15%, 20% or 25%;
  
• Sixth sense, a feeling of where the nearest slot machines are, helps you to find them within 50, 100 or 200 metre radius;
  
• Sixth sense, a feeling of where the nearest gold coins are, helping you to find them within 10, 30 or 100 metre radius;
  
• Ability to replace deadly grenades with the jackpot.
  

Also, the one armed bandits are a nice place to ambush other ludomaniacs. After all, not everyone will live to see their winnings. But we never told you that…

Stay in touch, we’ll have more news about Age of Nagual!

The first noticeable innovation - from now on you will not only be fighting in breezy Normandy but also in the hot jungles and sands of Mexico.

The new location is four times bigger than the previous one and the significant altitude differences, both man-made and natural ones, will open a lot of new tactical possibilities.



In the new location you will see ancient Aztec pyramids, labyrinths of colourful marketplaces, cozy villages, luxurious villas, a grim nineteenth-century fort and trenches with bunkers.



In settlements, fight on the roofs of houses that create a maze like environment, or chase the enemy within intricate galleries of enclosed spaces.



Under these conditions, the jetpack will be able to assist in an attack on the enemy from the rear in an efficient way or just quickly escape from enemy fire. Thick shadows become a great place to ambush and destructible suspension bridges are a place for an unpleasant surprise for other players.

In general, we have prepared a hell of a lot of space for you to practice your personal survival tactics.



Good luck under the Mexican sun!
