CRSED: Cuisine Royale News

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.



Winter has come to Normandy, and from now on, you will have to adapt your survival skills to make it through the snow. The once familiar landscape has changed, and it won’t be as easy to conceal yourself on the snowy surface.





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!

• Icons of weapon types where added to weapons on the ground and in the inventory. Melee, Pistos, Rifle, Semi, Shotguns, SMG, MG, Launcher (bazookas). The only one is missing in the moment is Assault Rifle.
  
• Same patch also fixed (rarely seen) 'white octagons'.

• Possibility of eating and beating with buttstock at the same time has been fixed.

Greetings, warriors!
Soon our brutal online last-man-standing shooter will get a new content update and today we would like to present some of it: new weapons and items that will be introduced.
Assault rifles Steyer AUG A1 — one of the most famous assault rifles of the late 20th century, utilizing the bull-pup concept to maintain high precision while being relatively compact in size. An integrated Swarovski scope will add additional comfort during mid-range shooting.

FN SCAR-L — Belgian assault rifle used to equip US special forces replacing the M4 and M16. Quite precise shooting experience with pretty good comfort and recoil control.

M4A1 — compact automatic carbine which managed to be considered standard for many special and military forces across the world. In this modification can use full-auto mode with a high rate of fire but a rather high recoil.

HK UMP45 — universal SMG developed by Heckler & Koch in the 1990’s as a follow up to famous HK MP5. Not the highest rate of fire but compensated with good accuracy even in burst mode.

HK MP5N — one of the most famous German post-war SMGs across the world. Can deal high damage at short range, surpassing most of the competitors, though being rather hard on the recoil side.

Shotguns Winchester Model 1912 — a classic in pump-action shotguns, reliable with good ergonomics for fast engagements.

Melee weapons
Our collection of historical melee weapons will receive two new masterpieces: in the workshop you will be able to unlock the viking’s Smith Hammer and Warrior Hammer. By the way, both hammers deal increased damage to hard objects - smashing gravestones and destructible decorations in one blow.

Mystic traps and rituals



Now you will be able to unlock six new mystic seals for your library:

Regular and catalyzed Ritual of Unknown (different only in cost of souls to cast) will start any random ritual, existing in the game. They are rather cheap on the cost side, allowing a surprise for enemies even when low on sinner souls.

Seals River of Endurance and Fountain of Endurance will replenish stamina for those nearby very quick or instantaneously. Will be useful for those running fast over large distances or engaging in hard melee assault.

Last but not least, new mystic traps will be focused specifically on vehicles. One mine will be triggered by heavy trucks and buses only, while the second one - by any vehicle passing nearby. The resulting explosion will break the vehicle and throw all passengers out of it in the blast.

New underwear and talismans will give a player ability to spot empty vehicles up to 250 metres range. Those who like the viking design of new talismans will appreciate the new Mask of Loki, designed in traditional Scandinavian style with a well-known feature to replace primed grenades with jack-pot in slot machines.

Oh, speaking of vehicles, there will be one new model waiting in the game!



Stay tuned where we will release news on other content for the upcoming update.
