Chinese anime-style mobile games have been taking over the world lately. First we had Onmyoji, and now, we have this – Gourmet Kizuna (tentative English title provided by the developer, originally “食之契約” in Chinese).
Gourmet Kizuna is business simulation x RPG game about spirits in the form of personified dishes. Players take the role of a restaurant owner, whose daily tasks include assigning spirits to help out in the restaurant and leading them to fight for ingredients. It is casual but also very strategic at the same time!
The characters which cover cuisines from all over the world are delicately illustrated in anime style. All of them are portrayed by Japanese voice artists that everyone is familiar with – Ayako Kawasumi (Fate’s Saber), Natsuki Hanae (Tokyo Ghoul’s Kaneki), Ayane Sakura (My Hero Academia’s Ochaco), etc..
