Welcome to our review of Bake ‘n Switch, an Overcooked clone that tries hard.
Violently cute couch co-op and PVP party brawler for 2-4 players. Catch, merge, and sacrifice delicious Dough creatures before time runs out!
It has been centuries since the Master Bakers left the World of Fla, the fabled lands of living Dough. But something is rising again. The Mould is back! More powerful and infectious than ever before. It’s spread to all corners of the World, gobbling up every species of Dough it comes across. Turning them sour. Changing their behaviors into twisted versions of their former selves.
As the World crumbles above, the ancient Guardians rumble below. Awoken from their slumber to fulfill their sworn duties to protect the Doughy creatures of Fla. However, hundreds of years of hibernation have not fared the Guardians well. They are hangry. Real hangry. With an insatiable penchant for baked goods. So, the Bakers must bake. Sacrificing the adoughrably cute Bun creatures to win favor with the Guardians; their only hope of vanquishing The Mould.
Join a crew of Apprentice Bakers on their journey to learn the unique abilities that set them apart. Get ready to face the Guardians of each World, unlock the story behind The Mould infection, and fulfill your destiny to become a Master Baker!

Bake ‘n Switch is no single-player game so it is important to know you will be inviting friends to play locally or online. It took me a real while to get into this game and I admit that games like Overcooked also did very little for me.
It might just not be my cup of tea and I did get some friends who really enjoyed it a lot more than me. Though in all fairness, they said the game was not the best on Switch they played so far. The cutesy graphics were named as the main reason of the appeal of this game…
In conclusion, Bake ‘n Switch is a promising game that might suffer mostly from horrible menus as I was personally unable to find a way to change characters without exiting completely and going back to the start, … Too many small issues to really enjoy this game for me personally…
