\"\"<\/a>Cake Bash is a multiplayer party game where you play as a piece of cake or other confectionary as you complete challenges in a bakery.\u00a0 Smack around the other cakes as you get the most toppings so you can be the best tasting cake in the store.\u00a0 Cake Bash is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

The main mode of the game is \u201cGet Tasty.\u201d\u00a0 First pick your cake.\u00a0 There\u2019s a cupcake, donut, muffin, carrot cake, \u00e9clair, and more.\u00a0 Then you\u2019ll alternate between a few \u201cBash\u201d games and \u201cSnack\u201d games with a shopping spree in between.\u00a0 Up to four can play locally or online.\u00a0 In Bash games, you can punch other cakes, and pick up secondary weapons like lollipops to really give them a wallop.\u00a0 But beating up the other cakes isn\u2019t the goal, it\u2019s just helpful to slow them down.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to do things like collect the most jellybeans on top of your cake, throw the most fruit into a tart, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnack\u201d games are mini-games that don\u2019t require you to hit other players.\u00a0 Here you may need to do things like toast marshmallows at just the right temperature for points, balance the most scoops of ice cream on a cone, or survive on the top of a cake being cut into smaller chunks.\u00a0 Depending on how well you do in the games, you\u2019ll earn coins.\u00a0 Use these coins in the shopping round to buy toppings for your cake.\u00a0 If you buy three of the same topping, it\u2019ll turn into a bigger topping worth more points, so strategy is key.\u00a0 You can also get a random topping for cheaper, but be careful because sometimes smelly fish bones are in there that can subtract points!\u00a0 Whoever has the most toppings from a few rounds of this is declared the winner.<\/p>\n

You can also play the \u201cBash\u201d and \u201cSnack\u201d games separately, but you need to unlock them by playing the Get Tasty mode first.\u00a0 You can also view what you\u2019ve unlocked.\u00a0 One problem is that it takes too long to unlock everything.\u00a0 And the game is only really fun with other players, but luckily the CPU bots are neither too easy or too hard, so that\u2019s good.\u00a0 And of course these kinds of games can always use more content.<\/p>\n

I do really like the graphics in the game.\u00a0 They really play up the bakery theme well in both presentation and gameplay, and it feels like you could almost reach in the TV and take a bite of the cakes!\u00a0 Their arms, legs, and faces also remind me of those videos where people put faces on inanimate objects so they look alive and doing silly things.\u00a0 Other neat ideas include pigeons that land on the table in the patio stage to try and nibble on you!\u00a0 So despite its problems, Cake Bash is still a delicious little multiplayer party game.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cake Bash is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You can punch and wallop other cakes around with fists and lollipops, but cakes just get knocked back and stunned with dizzy cartoon stars.\u00a0 Even when they get burned, the cakes just shake it off and keep going.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
