In the Onion Kingdom, chefs travel through unusual kitchens to help save the land from an ancient edible evil. Play alone or with up to three others in local multiplayer.
Prepare dishes to match incoming orders: chop ingredients, cook them, plate and serve them, and wash dishes. Keep food from burning and use the fire extinguisher when kitchen mishaps start a blaze.
Each kitchen adds a new obstacle, from moving platforms to slippery ice, changing how you organize the work. Progress through levels, earn stars, unlock stages and chef characters, and take on competitive challenges.
Players often enjoy Overcooked most as a local group game, where timed cooking turns into laughter, frantic communication, and shared teamwork. Reviews also praise the changing kitchen layouts and the satisfaction of mastering difficult stages or earning more stars. Some players find the same pressure stressful, especially when playing alone.

A CULINARY QUEST
The Onion Kingdom is a rich world full of cruel and unusual kitchens for you to conquer. Take part in an epic journey and tackle an increasingly challenging and bizarre gauntlet of kitchens which will push your skills of co-operation and co-ordination to the very limits. Each level brings a new challenge for you and your team to overcome, whether it's sliding around on a pirate ship, moving between speeding trucks, cooking on an ice floe or serving food in the bowels of a fiery underworld, each level will test the mettle of even the bravest chefs.
SIMPLE CONTROLS/DEEP CHALLENGE
Overcooked is so easy to pick up that anyone can join in the fun, but finding a team who can communicate and co-ordinate their actions when the pizza hits the fan, that's when only a well-oiled team of super-chefs will come out on top!

Whether indulging in deep fried local co-op or sautéed single player, as you play through the game you'll unlock new levels, new chef characters and even competitive challenge levels which allow teams of two to engage in hard boiled head-to-head in the kitchen.
However you want to play, if you think you can stand the heat, then get ready to enter the kitchen!
