[Review] RPG - Marenian Tavern Story (by YouNa)
This game is a wonderful RPG about running a Tavern by making unique dishes in a Fantasy World. It is the latest work of a series which gained popularity as Adventure Bar Story. As you may know, Rideon who created this game once participated in Gust's Atelier Series. It shows that they already have enough experience to create great medieval fantasy games. The Marenian Tavern Story is a collaboration between Rideon and famous mobile RPG publisher Kemco.
The main features of this game are the story, adventure, cooking, and tavern management. The story begins with Patty's struggle with the God of Poverty. Patty is the daughter of a top-class restaurant owner and the main character of this game. But as Patty travels, her family is in crisis. Her brother Gino has been possessed by Coco, the God of Poverty and the whole family has become poor with huge debts. In this difficult situation, she rents an abandoned tavern to satisfy the God of Poverty with her delicious cooking.
In this game, adventures and cooking are quite interesting. Through adventure, you can collect ingredients and cook over 600 dishes. These materials can be collected from dungeons or bought directly from stores. The player can manage the Tavern as he or she wants and decide what food to serve. You can have the pleasure of running the Tavern in your own way.
Marenian Tavern Story, a sequel to the Adventure Bar Story, also has great RPG elements. The unique thing about this game is that the character does not level up by defeating monsters. They level up by eating the food you create. These dishes can be made from ingredients obtained by defeating monsters or acquiring them on the map. Some dishes can raise your status and resistance. As the player's party gets strongrer, you can conquer new dungeons and get better ingredients.
All of this game is works together well and is easy to understand. Players can enjoy a leisurely life running their own tavern. You can meet people in the tavern and there are cute animals on the farm too! Go fishing or gather vegetables and meat. In this game, you do not need to compete against others. You can just take it easy by playing Marenian Tavern Story.
