Our take on Pancake Patrol
The game combines automatic attacks with precise projectile avoidance, so its focus on combat encounters leaves less room for exploration, narrative development, or broader adventure systems.
What is Pancake Patrol?
Pancake Patrol is a roguelite action game about delivering pancakes to Pembrook’s Manor while fighting monster hordes.
Food-based weapons fire automatically, while players move through dense projectile patterns during one-on-one boss encounters. Companions can be recruited during a run, and weapons can be discovered, upgraded, and combined into different builds. Ten characters provide distinct starting weapons, abilities, skills, and statistics. Modes include Horde Mode with modified enemy waves, Boss Rush with 10 consecutive boss fights, Bacon Rush with no weapons, True Bullet Hell, and Classic Bullet Heaven. The game also includes Steam leaderboards and achievements.
