CRSED: Cuisine Royale News

https://youtu.be/YzhP86cq6e8

Fighters! Today our brutal and mystical last-man-standing shooter is finally released, ending the beta stage! We’ve already told you about the new items arriving, the new version of the Normandy map, the arrival of tactical medicine and the new resurrection system coming with the release, but there’s more!

So, what else is there?

Right from the chilling shores of Scandinavia came Eric ‘Torden’ Thorsson, bringing the wrath of the Norse gods with him. 



In his youth, Eric was struck by a bolt of lightning, but survived, taking that as a sign from then onward. He received the ability to use ‘Thunderstrike’, allowing him to teleport-jump into the sky and crash down in a ‘stunning’ fashion, throwing around his opponents, breaking objects, and blowing cars away. While ascending through the lightning, he can move through any obstacle, and during his crashing descent, he can control the direction of movement and use a special vision, seeing opponents, weapons, and other important tactical objects clearly.

The thunderstrike ability will not only help Eric avoid getting to Valhalla too early, but it is also  a good tool to assist with the capture of strategic positions. 

Eric will be available in the game in his viking working outfit, his warrior outfit and his berserk outfit. 

Also, due to the season update, the Aztec shaman ‘Itz Ocelotl’ will become available to be unlocked by all players. Who will win in this clash of two different mythologies?

Cuisine Royale is a competition game, and we want to make leaderboard statistics fairer and more interesting for players. 

It is important that once you get to the higher league, you don’t fall out of it before the end of the calculation and league change period (which currently happens once every two months). Be advised that these league seasons change will not be directly connected to any content update the game may receive.

All ratings will continue to be calculated using the Elo system — where changes to your rating depends on the difference with the rating of an enemy. For winrating system calculates your win rating againsе all players’ winratings: who died in the battle before you and those who still live. If you manage to out-survive those who have a higher rating than yours - you will receive more points. Those who are less experienced will bring you much fewer points, so the higher your rating, the more difficult it is to advance, and the faster it will deteriorate when you are killed early. Kill ratings are calculated the same way, but for each kill separately as a result of a duel. 

On briefing screen after the battle you can now see all that effected change in your rating.

For duo and squad modes, from now on, win ratings will be calculated based on whole teams surviving and being killed in the battle, and is based on the moment the last team member is killed. So, even if you die early in the battle, but your team goes on, you will receive a better win rating compared with the previous system.


Finally, we want to answer a popular question: ‘Where can be find the new firearms in the game?’ Modern weaponry like the Steyer AUG A1, the M4A1 and the HK MP5N can now be looted from Tactical fridges (replacing the AKMs therein) or from Orbital drops. 

Orbital fridges will keep supplying players with the best weaponry. Apart from the above mentioned, these will also include well known grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and anti-tank rifles. We have excluded more ordinary weapons, like shotguns. 

At the same time, in regular loot, you will find new firearms such as the FN SCAR-L and HK UMP45, as well as the familiar AKM.

We hope you make good use of your adrenaline on our battlefields! See you there!

Dear survival masters! We continue to reveal the new mechanics and content coming to our brutal shooter with the official release of Cuisine Royale: Path to Valhalla!

Those who like to fight in groups know how bad it feels to lose a mate in battle, especially if there is still a long way to fight before victory is achieved. This aspect is soon to change, allowing you ways to bring your squad-mates back into the action of the battlefield!

Firstly, in squad and duo modes, players can become ‘downed’ after taking enough damage. If a character loses all their health, they will fall on the ground and begin to bleed out. That player’s teammates will then have a short amount of time to practice some field medicine in order to stop the bleeding. If they manage to do so fast enough, the wounded character will survive, but if they linger, or the downed player receives additional damage, the character’s death will result. So, watch your teammates closely and be swift in administering first aid.

Also, be advised that only those players whose health is damaged to a degree which is not too far below the ‘zero’ mark will be downed. If a player receives a large amount of damage, they will be killed on sight. A revived character will have a very low amount of health after being revived - they’ll barely be able to stand - so, ensure they receive high-nutrition food fast.

Secondly, if your squad-mate proceeds to die, that is not completely the end! Approach their body and take their… heart. Yes, it’s a bit messy to cut the heart out from your friend’s fresh corpse, but at that point, it’s the only way to help.

Remember the mystic fires, which we’ve mentioned before, appearing on the Normandy and Mexico maps? Run there and throw your comrade’s heart into the flames to bring him back to the world of the living! You can only do this once for each deceased player, as his heart burns down in a fire, but it’s still a good way to raise your squad’s chances of victory.

Do not forget to bring spare guns and ammo - only the body and soul return from the dead, so everything else has to be collected from scratch.

Also, one should remember that ritual fires can soon become good ambush sites for those who like to hunt dirty. So, be careful while rushing, heart in hand, to resurrect your best friend...



News on all the other new content coming to Cuisine Royal will be announced on the day of the game’s full release, so stay tuned to the news!

Greetings, survivors!

We continue to reveal new content coming to Cuisine Royal with the upcoming official release of the game.

Attentive players will soon notice strange looking campfires being set up throughout the battlefield. One might consider: ‘should I hurry to enjoy their warmth?’ Well, the answer to that question will soon be made clear, so stay tuned to the next news!
