Ironfeast

Ironfeast is a war-kitchen arcade with a cozy Homestead hub. At home you own a house and roam your town: work a kitchen shift for coins, buy upgrades at the market, visit your neighbour Bram and sweetheart Wren (romance and even marry for a battle shield), then MARCH TO WAR. In battle your chef auto-hurls cleavers while you steer, fallen foes drop ingredients that cook into dishes you eat for power, and you hold out against escalating waves and Warlord bosses. Progress, coins and upgrades persist.
