What Cake Bash Is
Cake Bash is a four player party game where drawn-to-life cakes fight to become the tastiest treat. You pick a cake and throw it into arenas with their own goals, like covering yourself in sweeties or hurling fruit into a pie. Between those rounds you get a set of minigames: roast marshmallows, pipe frosting, or be the last flan standing in Fork Knife. There's also Get Tasty, where you guide your cake through the bakery and dress to impress the customer, buying toppings across a series of games to be the chosen one. You can stick to a favorite mode and run it back as often as you like.
Playing Together
You can compete on the same screen with split screen, take the fight online against other players, or face well-baked bots when you want a match without company. Remote Play Together is supported, so friends can join in over the internet. The rounds are short and the goals change often, which keeps a group rotating through different tasks instead of settling into one pattern.
Before You Start
Expect a beat 'em up at heart, but winning usually means handling the arena's specific goal rather than just landing hits. The cast is hand-drawn and colorful, and the tone stays light and comedic throughout. A tutorial is available to walk you through the basics before you jump into a full match.
