Pizza Bandit Blends Gears of War and Overcooked for a Flavorful Shooter Experience

Sure thing, let’s dive into this wild slice of digital goodness.

Ever just sit there and wonder who first thought to slap peanut butter and chocolate together? Like, I bet they’re just rolling in dough, right? Or maybe it’s like that “Chicken McNugget” guy from The Wire – a pat on the back and then back to slinging fries. No idea who it was; hope they got rich. But every so often, something so blindingly obvious hits you, like, “Why hasn’t this been a thing?” That’s me every time my crew and I dash to our time-warping ship, dodging those pesky Time Reapers, and I think, “Why didn’t anyone smash together Overcooked and Gears of War until now?” Cue Pizza Bandit.

Picture this bonkers setup: you’re Malik, ex-bounty hunter turned pizza dreamer, scammed out of your shop, dragged back into the bounty biz. It’s silly writing, but hey, that’s the spice. I can’t get mad at Albert, our android, struggling with apologies, because, well, he’s just a robot (been there). Or my pilot getting misty-eyed over fog? Random! But it’s all just to kick off the chaos that is Pizza Bandit.

Here’s the drill: you’re not just any team of bounty hunters. Nah, you’re zipping through time, chasing bounties. Don’t ask me how it works. Just know that pizza equals health and Time Reapers? They’re bad news for pizza entrepreneurs. No way am I letting them squash my dough dreams.

The genius of Pizza Bandit? It’s not just shoot-‘em-up. You’re in an Overcooked frenzy, too. My squad and I ventured to a secret pizza outpost – the Restaurant from Nowhere. Mission? Crank out pizzas for other bounty hunters. So, we’re tossing ingredients, firing up ovens, and double-checking drink orders while fitting in some bullet delivery. Oh, and swarming Reapers? Yeah, not fans of mom-and-pop shops.

And those Time Reapers? They’re serious. You’re gonna need all the firepower you can muster. At first, it’s rifles and grenades, but once you unlock that enemy-attracting disco ball? Madness! And yeah, I sliced up Reapers with a human-sized pizza slicer. Crazy, right? But also, oddly satisfying.

The roster of baddies is no joke. From basic runners to fireball chuckers, they’re relentless. So, strategy is key. Pizza Bandit shines brightest in good company, yelling pizza orders mid-firefight. Deciding when to call in a supply pod – or where to drop it – adds that spicy twist, too.

And I’ve barely skimmed the surface. After Restaurant from Nowhere, we’re flipping sushi in a culinary showdown, juggling orders, dodging attacks. Or exploring Wizard’s Tomb, solving puzzles for this priceless sarcophagus. Jetpacking it out was a highlight – just another day as a pizza bandit.

It’s a buffet of antics: guarding a time-travel inventor in a cabin, cooking a wild mix of magic – you got it, we’re mixing up “magic powder.” I swear, Pizza Bandit is chaotic, obvious in its inspirations, yet always a blast.

Off duty, you’re back at base – Pizza Bandit HQ – upgrading, decorating, or crafting pies for stat boosts. The milk carton backpack? Iconic. Saving for a cat one, myself. Because style points matter, right? Then it’s back into the fray. A bandit’s life is nonstop.

Sometimes, you don’t know what you need until you’ve got it. That was Pizza Bandit for me – a whirlwind of hype when I stumbled upon it two years ago at PAX. Unlikely combos that shouldn’t work but somehow, absolutely do. I may never know why we didn’t have Pizza Bandit before, but now it’s here? I’m all in. Pizzas, gunfire, and pandemonium – if Jofsoft nails this, we’re in for one heck of a slice.
