•A new game called Deep Dish Dungeon, described as a co-op dungeon crawler centred on crafting meals from ingredients found while exploring, is available now. The game draws comparisons to the anime series Delicious in Dungeon for its cooking-focused approach, though it carves out its own identity with added Metroidvania elements.
The game’s dungeon is reportedly “handcrafted,” according to coverage of the release. Players engage in dungeoneering activities that include fighting skeletons and solving puzzles, while also being able to craft tools and cook meals important for survival.
I would really like it if someone made a Delicious in Dungeon game. It doesn’t have to be official, it can be legally distinct!

The cooking system is where the Delicious in Dungeon comparison becomes most relevant. Players learn and unlock different recipes, though meals are not as elaborate as those enjoyed by characters in the anime — sometimes resulting in simpler fare such as pie or corn and beans.
Making progress on collecting recipes matters because better recipes provide more options for stat boosts, making cooking a worthwhile endeavour for survival within the dungeon.
The game also features puzzly elements to solve throughout the dungeon. Enemy behaviours reportedly require distinct reactions rather than simply swinging weapons freely. The Metroidvania elements are left for players to discover on their own.
Deep Dish Dungeon supports play with up to two friends, though it can be played solo. The design appears oriented around co-op play based on the coverage of the game.
The game can be picked up on Steam right now.
