Cooking Gala is a cooking management game where you have to serve your customers with varieties of foods as they demand (especially Pizzas!). I was pretty surprised to see a good story cutscene for a game like this even though the story felt a bit vague. This game has a hybrid 2D and 3D graphics merged together with smooth rendering to provide a great visual experience in this game.
I found the gameplay to be quite simple but the time management makes the game quite challenging! I was quite surprised to see a lot of customers gather in front of the shop pretty quick. As a beginner, you will have 1 oven which will only allow you to make 1 pizza at a time. Likewise, you have only 1 juice maker that will allow you to serve only 1 cup of juice at a time. If you overcook your pizza then you have to throw it away which will be a loss for you. I was impressed to see this game actually keeping tabs on the gains and losses. As you clear more stages, the timing starts to get harder with more crowd gathering around your shop.
Even though there is a story in this game, there are no character voiceovers. Plus, the story does not look that deep and refined. The game will keep showering with a lots of rewards like login gifts. This game certainly does not have different characters roster. I believe different characters with different abilities with the cooking could actually spice the game a bit.
Overall, this game is surely quite playable and not a mere copy paste. So I do recommend you to play this game. Honestly, I did enjoy its gameplay and its quite engaging as well. There are lots of milestone rewards in this game, which I really loved to collect. I felt a good sense of progression in this game with lots of rewards to collect here and there. Try this game out and let me know in the comments, what you feel of this game!
