### 5/5 — 可愛すぎる！

*2026-03-27*

キャラがみんな可愛い！貧乏神さんも可愛い！戦闘が楽で料理が美味しそう！いつまでもやってしまう凄くいい盆栽ゲームだと思います(^.^)

### 5/5 — お話の流れでまんまと…

*2025-03-29*

この手のRPGが好きなので購入しました。
ストーリーが面白く、キャラに愛着が湧く。お料理が題材のゲームだけあって、レシピが豊富。食材も豊富。食材やツールが？？？になっているヒントレシピなんかは、簡単なものもあれば少し知識が必要なものもあって、面白い。
戦闘の難易度は高すぎず低すぎずで、戦闘で経験値が貰えるのではなく、食事をしてレベルを上げるのがこのゲームらしくて面白いなと思いました。
やり込み要素が多いのも楽しめるポイントです。
普段あまりレビューは書かないのですが、ゲームが面白いことと、とある理由でつい。
購入して良かったです。

### 1/5 — つまらない周回ゲー

*2024-08-05*

料理→買い物→ダンジョンで戦闘→を永遠に繰り返すのみ
薄っぺらいストーリー、少ないダンジョンを周回、毎ターン状態異常喰らう戦闘、たまに落ちるのにオートセーブ無し
ソシャゲのイベント周回してる様なゲーム

80時間プレイしたが戦闘でレベル上がらないので料理食わせる→空腹にする→料理食わせるのレベル上げが苦痛だし時間もかかる
ケムコ信者だが最低評価

### 5/5 — くさくないよ

*2024-07-31*

くさいかもしれない

### 5/5 — Cute and fun.

*2024-07-26*

I liked the pixel backgrounds of adventure bar story, but this has better and deeper mechanics!

### 5/5 — 面白い

*2024-01-30, version 1.1.5*

結構たのしんでます

### 4/5 — 要望

*2023-10-22, version 1.1.5*

最終更新が2年前だから期待はしてないが、オートボタンや全員攻撃ボタンを毎戦闘押すのが面倒なので記憶して欲しい。コントローラー対応してくれたら神。

### 4/5 — 悪くないが

*2023-04-30, version 1.1.5*

先に鍛冶屋をやってしまったアタシが悪いのよ
ランダムエンカウントがダルく感じてしまうの
それよりパン🍞はどうやってつくるのよ

### 5/5 — パティアさんは足が臭いw

*2023-04-22, version 1.1.5*

のんびりゆったりゲームを楽しむことが出来てます
細かな所も要望もあるが満足できるゲームです

### 4/5 — Great game with a potential fatal flaw

*2023-04-14*

Played this game for months, ended up unexplainably glitched out of the last couple cutscenes and was unable to complete multiple trophies as a result. Great for casual play, not recommended for completionists unless you’re ok with letting go after sinking the hours in.
