Leave your foes in tiers with BattleCakes on Xbox

It’s got cakes – fighting cakes, in fact. What else could you want from a turn-based adventure about battling cakes? Nothing. That’s what. And you’ll get it all, and more, in BattleCakes.

Spongy Goodness

Now available on Xbox consoles, following on from a March 2024 debut on PC, BattleCakes comes to us from developers Volcano Bean.

A turn-based RPG in the purest form, gameplay-wise things play out like a classic Final Fantasy title: recruit members to your party, use abilities against enemies, and ensure you emerge from the fight with some HP left.

Story-wise, we can’t recall a Final Fantasy adventure about a merry bunch of anthropomorphic cakes like Birthday Sprinkle and Red Velvet, so let’s chalk this one up as a first. In fact, so happy-go-lucky is BattleCakes, that you can actually choose to befriend your enemies, as opposed to beating them into a frosted pulp.

We’re hoping this one is as fun as Cake Bash.

Key Features

• Customize your cupcake hero! Bake your best life with loads of fun colors and fashionable frosting styles.
• Save the day your way! Monsters abound in Pasteleria—you decide whether to befriend them and walk away with new pals, or battle it out and take ‘em down.
• Explore a candy-colored world of magic, fun, and mystery! From the fragrant fields of Vanilla Hill to the sticky swamps of Nougat Hollow, your sweet adventure awaits!
• Choose your path! Any quest, monster, and resident of Pasteleria could send your story in a different direction, and it’s all up to what kind of cupcake you choose to be.
• Pet all the cats! Jellyroll cats love to explore, but they love a good snuggle even more. Can you find and pet every Jellyroll cat peppered throughout Pasteleria?
