For a newly formed indie game studio, Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel is their first official title. Billed as a 3D platformer collectathon, will I be jumping for joy? Or will it be as raw as the uncooked schnitzel?
The Hunger Quest
Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel starts with a short cutscene, showing that Chipflake is hungry and dreaming of his favourite food. However, it’s a disaster, as the fridge is empty. What can Chipflake do? Obviously, he must go on a quest to find the famous Schnitzelville schnitzel.
Exiting Chipflake’s house, you take control and guide them into the first area, which acts as a tutorial. There are no instructions on the movement controls (although they are intuitive) or what the red star-like items are, other than collecting them seems the right thing to do.
Soon, you meet Brocko, who needs help in finding his rock friends, and in return, as well as a sticker, they’ll open the large wooden doors into the main area of Schländ. Any interactive object or resident will have the appropriate button displayed as you approach. You can pick up items, and certain stacked items can be merged together to create something new. You only have four inventory slots to begin with, and rather than a pocket, Chipflake carries the items. Searching around the starting area, you’ll find the rocks and wigs needed to merge together to create Brocko’s rock friends.
With the gate open, you can start the Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel.
Round and Round in Schländ
Very quickly, you’ll meet various locals who need your help with a task: delivering parcels or teddy bears, herding blob cats, making wooden planks or ice cream, and so much more. For each completed task, you receive a sticker. In Schnitzelville (reached via a parkour challenge), you will find Barbara, who is willing to pay for looking at your new stickers. The money can then be used to buy additional tools, like a grappling hook or a diving mask, to help with other quests.
However, the main quest, as per the title, is the Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel. The Chef in Schnitzelville promises to make the famous schnitzel for free if you supply the five ingredients. The ingredients are received as rewards for completing key quests, which are in the form of a mini-game (sometimes timed), like delivering pizza or playing mini-golf. However, to get to or complete these key quests, you’ll need the additional tools. So the gameplay loop is: complete easy quests; show Barbara the stickers and receive some money; buy new tools; complete the key quest; give The Chef the ingredient.
However, there is so much more to do in Schländ. Firstly, collecting the coloured star-like ‘catnip crystals’ which are scattered across the land. There are many within easy reach, but for some, quite often the more valuable ones, you’ll need to jump and balance to reach them. These crystals can be traded for upgrades, like more inventory space, in Schnitzelville.
At certain locations, usually high up, you can discover posters of conceptual artwork for Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel. These can be viewed via your journal.
In addition, there are film cannisters dotted around, which, when picked up, unlock a timed dash to collect filmstrips. If successful in collecting them all, you’ll unlock a Chipflake animation in the cinema of the game developers’ studio.
As well as films and artwork, there are also vinyl records. However, these are broken, so you need to find all the pieces in the area and then merge them together before handing them to the local at the windmill to play them.
There is a lot to collect!
The Ups and Downs in Super Chipflake Ü
Overall, Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel is great fun to play. The quests are numerous and varied, and the scenery and artwork is beautiful.
However, there are a couple of niggles, which took away some of the enjoyment. Firstly, you can’t leave items lying around in the hope of returning to them later; I’d created a couple of wooden planks and left them by the builder whilst I searched for more sticks. To my dismay, when I returned, they had de-spawned. More annoying was the single-use trampoline; several times I wasn’t quite in line with my destination, and, rather than just being able to move the trampoline and have another go, I had to go on a search for more resources to create another one.
Disappointingly, you can’t use the special tools (like the grapple hook or running shoes) while carrying anything, and this makes certain fetch quests a little frustrating if you have to traverse from one side of the map to the other. However, it also means that you have to do the parkour challenge each time you return an ingredient for the schnitzel, rather than using the grapple hook shortcut.
Gameplay
Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel is a joy to play in both docked and handheld mode, with the text large enough to easily read on the small screen. I got stuck in the scenery at one point, but reloading the game fixed it, as you always start outside Chipflake’s house. There were a couple of non-game-breaking issues, like quests not being ticked off, grammar mistakes or missing text, but this didn’t detract from the gameplay.
The volume and language can be changed in the settings menu, and the game autosaves. However, there is only one instance, with no option to start a new game. There are no accessibility options, so to use the running shoes, you have to hold down a button.
The music is dramatic, upbeat and jolly, changing between different areas. However, it did get a little repetitive in certain areas.
There is no day or night cycle in Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel, and it takes around 4-5 hours to complete the main quest, with at least another 3 hours to complete all the quests and gather the collectables. Obviously, it’s dependent on how good your searching and platforming skills are.
Conclusion
Super Chipflake Ü: Quest for the Uncooked Schnitzel is a great open-world fetch quest and collectathon bonanza, with lots of varied tasks and humorous conversations to keep you occupied and amused. However, there are a few frustrations in the gameplay, which take away some of the enjoyment.
