About the Game

In Gridiron Grilling, the player chooses to play as 1 of 5 different meats/cuts of meats: T-Bone steak, Ribs, Lamb Chop, Pork, and Chuck Steak. Each of these characters has their own unique playstyle and unique pool of cards they can use to add to their deck. Each Act will feature a different group from the food pyramid to take on, culminating in a boss fight. At the end of each Act, you are rewarded with a mighty legendary card to fill in the gaps of your decks' weaknesses or push your game plan even further. 

5 Playable Meats

Chuck uses his high mobility and poison-tipped forks to dance around the battlefield and defeat his enemies over time while staying untouched. 

Lambella uses her peppermill to strengthen her resolve and damage her would-be assailants. Shes a tough cut of meat and enjoys watching the enemy struggle. Stay healthy while watching the non-meats sweat.

Porkle uses his various cooking oils - at least we think that's what they are - to confuse his enemies and take them out of the fight. Porkle has many tricks in his measuring cups to always keep his foes guessing.

Ribina uses her sack of spices to quite literally change the battlefield. Her spices can manifest as everything from spider webs to explosive fields that take no prisoners. Shes able to command the battlefield to always keep the fight in her favor.
