\"\"<\/a>In a fantasy world in ancient times, a great war between Food Souls and Fallen Angels devastated the land.\u00a0 Eons later, Food Souls and Fallen Angels still exist, and humans must eke out a living trying to avoid attacks.\u00a0 Luckily, Food Souls are there to help.\u00a0 They may look like ordinary humans, but they have the power to help prepare food and battle Fallen Angels, too (somehow).\u00a0 You play as an aspiring restaurant owner who must manage a group of food souls as you run an eating establishment in this restaurant sim\/RPG battle hybrid.\u00a0 It\u2019s free to play on mobile devices, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

After a brief tutorial, you start out in your new restaurant.\u00a0 You can assign your food souls to different jobs, like cooking and waiting on customers.\u00a0 All you really have to do is make sure you have enough ingredients to cook whatever recipes you\u2019ve discovered.\u00a0 Sometimes a customer might trigger a battle or a story scene, but that\u2019s about it.\u00a0 Gain ingredients by completing missions and winning battles.<\/p>\n

The other part of the game are the RPG style battles.\u00a0 You don\u2019t really have much control over what\u2019s going on, as your Food Souls will fight automatically.\u00a0 You can tap on the screen to slow down an enemy\u2019s attacks or whisk away minor foes occasionally, but that\u2019s about it.\u00a0 So yeah, not very much interactivity in this game.\u00a0 Sometimes you\u2019ll trigger story sections that play out like a visual novel, I only wish the text wasn\u2019t so teeny tiny on the screen!\u00a0 Also, while there are tutorials, it basically just comes down to \u201cHey I know you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on, but tap on these things and see what happens,\u201d which sometimes doesn\u2019t help you understand the game.\u00a0 While I do think some of the character designs and gameplay ideas are interesting, the lack of gameplay interaction kept me from being absorbed very long.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

While you do battle enemies, the attacks are silly and cartoony and enemies just fall over when defeated.\u00a0 Some of the anime outfits might be considered suggestive, and reading skill is needed for the text.\u00a0 Parental supervision is recommended for the in-game purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
