Two female knights, Ayran and Coq au vin of the Kingdom Knights, who departed from the capital on a mission to investigate the flow of magical power in the area, are likely to starve to death in a big earthquake that occurred along the way. State.
Ayran and Coq au vin found a stall along the road just before they fell hungry. He rushed to order, but he said he couldn't serve meals due to lack of ingredients. So they decided to hunt the beasts that were rampaging in the neighborhood and provide the ingredients to the stalls.
So, while capturing the stage, collect ingredients, use it to cook and sell dishes, strengthen the character with the collected funds, and dive into the stage again in search of better ingredients with the strengthened character ... That is 'Brave's Rice'. First, tap 'Story' at the bottom right of the home screen to search for ingredients.
Each stage that can be selected from the 'Story' world map can obtain different ingredients depending on the location.
The difficulty level is displayed numerically on each stage. Since the average fighting power of your army is also displayed numerically, you can determine to some extent whether you can capture it before challenging the stage.
You can select up to 4 characters to sort out. Each character has its own skill status, and it's hard to decide which character to choose for each stage. Characters that have advantageous abilities against enemy characters and gimmicks that appear in each stage are displayed as recommended characters with a star mark, so it will be easier to capture if you focus on the character with a star mark. ..
The actual battle looks like this.
In the battle of 'Heroes' Rice', your character automatically attacks the enemies that appear one after another. The range in which the character can move is only for one screen, and there is no screen scrolling.
What the player can do is move the character by tapping the place ...
Targeting that taps the enemy to make a concentrated attack.
Then, use the skill that can be activated by tapping the icon displayed at the bottom.
Only the skills possessed by the character to be dispatched can be used. For example, the shy witch fondue can use 'Tsurumusubi' to stop the enemy.
Coq au vin, an elf with a tuned personality who longs for money and fame, can use the range attack 'concentrated shooting' that rains a bow ...
Ayran, the leader of the Knights of the Kingdom and the gluttonous hero, can handle 'invincibility' that can make all characters invincible for 2 seconds.
The boss can do a lot of damage with a big skill, so if you use 'Invincible' at the right time, or if two enemies appear at the same time, use 'Tsurumusubi' to stop one and then the other. By using your skills well, such as targeting, the battle situation will change completely.
Clear the stage by wiping out all the enemy characters. You can get ingredients according to the stage.
Also, you can get new characters as the story progresses. All the characters that appear in 'Bistro's Rice' can be obtained as the story progresses.
Use the 'cook' command to cook the ingredients you get. The food will be sold automatically over time and will be money.
If you use the money you earned by selling food, you can use the 'strengthen' command to permanently strengthen the attack and defense power of all characters, such as 'weapon training' and 'armor strengthening' ...
Various enhancements such as 'additional rest facility' to increase the recovery speed of stamina and 'expansion of supply storage' to increase the maximum amount of stamina are possible. By strengthening the character in this way, you will be able to capture new stages again, and you will be able to advance the story.
In addition to strengthening with money, you can individually strengthen each character with ether obtained by challenging the daily dungeon ...
Create costumes that improve your character's basic abilities by consuming pieces of cloth obtained from quests and achievement cancellations ...
There is also a strengthening method using wood, such as installing furniture that not only colors the base but also strengthens the basic abilities of all characters.
'Bistro Heroes' is a stamina-based game, but the recovery speed of stamina is relatively fast, and thanks to a system such as 'fishing' that allows you to catch fish and get additional stamina just by leaving it, there is more stamina. There is a tendency.
The surplus stamina can be consumed by 'exploration' where you can skip the battle of the cleared stage and acquire only the ingredients.
As the story progresses, just by specifying the amount of stamina to consume, 'quick production' that automatically collects ingredients and prepares dishes will be released, so you can consume stamina quickly.
When you actually play it, stamina recovers over time and sells food to earn money, so 'the passage of real time = neglect' is important in advancing the story. Rather than playing for hours in a row and proceeding steadily, it is a game that seems to be a smartphone game that starts regularly and advances steadily while consuming stamina.
Since the battle aspect is basically automatic, the character's status is important, but it is also important to use skills in a timely manner. The basics are auto, thanks to the strategy that if you miss the timing to use defensive skills, you will take a lot of damage with one shot, or if you put a stun at the timing when the opponent comes out with a big skill, you can cancel the activation. However, I feel that it is well designed for smartphones in that it gives a 'playing feeling'.
Of particular note is the convenience of the system. Since the tutorial is polite and good at translation, there is no such thing as 'I do not understand this system well', because the fighting power is quantified & the character with the ability suitable for each stage is taught in advance, so I was stuck in the strategy You can also decide if you should strengthen your character or try again. In addition, thanks to the quick production that creates dishes with one tap, 'stamina consumption is not troublesome'.
Billing factors include items that allow you to sell stamina and food in an instant, and upgrades that permanently increase your stamina recovery speed. All characters can be acquired by progressing the story, and although there is a costume gacha, it is possible to progress the game independently of the gacha.
The interaction between each character is also attractive, and it will motivate you to advance the story. Also, it seems that they are also focusing on cooking graphics, and when it becomes possible to make new dishes, a single picture that seems to be delicious is displayed, and the word 'rice' is added to the game name. It perfectly reflects the points that are included.
'Bistro Heroes' is a smartphone game that can be played on iOS and Android. Basic play is free.
