Beastro

I was too good at slamming my clam, now my friend won't slam clams with me anymore. Outside of the jokes: This game is sorta mixed for me. I love the aesthetics, I enjoy the characters, but the gameplay loop is kinda... 'eh'. Both searching for ingredients and the cooking minigames seem to be the 'cozy' portions of the game, but I personally found it repetitive and annoying to do them. There's even minigames during the card card fight sections and they feel equally tedious. Overall, I'd say it was an interesting experience. Despite being somewhat bogged down by unskippable tedium, I would recommend this game, what follows after this is my genuine feedback on what took me out of the experience, and I'm only posting it with the thin hope that the developers will see it. My enjoyment of the game mostly came down to designing dishes/decks and running through that section of the game. Granted, at a certain point, it's just a snowball towards success, but I sorta liked getting powerful and broken. By the time things are going smoothly for you, the game is over, and that's kind of a bummer. [b]Point 1: Expenses[/b] The 50 currency it takes each day to scan the water for what fish are there is sorta pricy at the point you get it in the game. In addition, the ingredients you can purchase from the merchants are egregiously overpriced. By the end of the game you're getting maybe 600-750 currency a day, and single item purchases can cost 80-150 each. One particular meal takes two of the 150 currency ingredients plus additional ones to make. It's crazy, there's basically no reason to go to the merchants besides seeds, and outside of that, most of the time you're putting that money towards upgrades. [b]Point 2: Day/Night Ingredients[/b] It might just be me being impulsive, I may not even need all these items, but at a certain point it becomes a bit painful to run around town searching for things. The grubs are the biggest pain point, given the night grubs are all relegated to a single area, while the daylight ones are spread far and wide through the town. The dough was a bit rough with this too, but I didn't see much use out of that, so it wasn't as bothersome. [b]Point 3: Minigames[/b] After the first few times doing these, they don't feel particularly fun to do anymore. I know there's an "upgrade" to alleviate some of the burden but it comes far too late and only lets you skip one part of the cooking process. I honestly wish I could just skip that step in the process entirely. There's more I could say, but those were my biggest issues. The cozy side of the game kinda took me away from the fun side of the game, and a lot of mechanics felt like (pun fully intended) they needed more time in the oven.

とにかく登場する全キャラクター達のデザインが良い！ 日本語訳でほぼ違和感なく、各キャラの性格などが分かるので、物語への没入感も損なわれませんでした。 BGMや効果音も場面に応じて作られており、町での癒し、戦闘時の緊張感も感じられると思います。 大きく分けて、昼の町でのレストラン運営パート、夜のカード戦闘パートとなっていますが、 どちらもとにかくビジュアルがよいです。 町では３Dでの表現、戦闘では紙芝居方式のペーパークラフトのような表現になっています。 どちらもとにかくビジュアルがよい！（大事なことなので） カードデッキ構築系のゲームの中ではかなり簡単な方だと感じましたので、そういったゲームが苦手な方でも、素晴らしいキャラクターと、ちょっとシリアスな物語をぜひ楽しんでいただきたい。 お金払うので、是非このお話の続き、素晴らしい世界の続きを作っていただきたいと思いました。 以下少し気になったり、不便だなと思った点。 稀にキャラクターのセリフでの表記が間違っていたり、戦闘のため、 町で食材をかき集めるために朝夜、町中を走り回ることになるのですが、 最終的にお金で代行をしてくれたり、一部自動化もできるので、それまでの辛抱です。 (ただし終盤のもうお話終わるけど？位のタイミングなのでメインの話だけ見れればイイ人はスルーしてしまうかも） 上記の理由から尚、やりこみ要素やエンドコンテンツ的なものがあったらもっとのめりこめそうだなぁと思いました。

I found this game very enjoyable. Took around 10-12 hours, lots of save points, as well as points during a "day" that you could pause and pick right back up where you left off with a clear idea of what to do next. I would recommend this game to anyone who has a busy schedule, or who can only put an hour or two during an evening and save a big sink hours into session for the weekend.

EXTREMELY GOOD GAME!! I bought this in a bundle with another game I was interested in, and I am so so glad that I played through Beastro's storyline. A heartwarming tale of found family and joy in grief. The cooking mechanics were fun, if not a bit challenging, and the way combat was done to collect ingredients was such an original concept. The art is the cherry on top of a sundae of a game.

Such a whimsical take on an adventure rpg! The characters are so fun to meet and the game loop works (mostly) well. Choosing the recipes and cooking for caretakers, then getting to play through their adventures is so fun! I love finding new ingredients when exploring and unlocking better recipes/cooking tools. Honestly I think the game could do without the resource collection in town (maybe just tired of every game having farming and fishing now). Haven't finished yet but I am so excited to see how it all wraps up! I actually really love the story <3

Just beat the game! Existing popular reviews are all pretty accurate. The art is super cute and the gameplay is intriguing. I didn't get the vibe that the project was cut short (as many reviews mention) up until the final hour or two where you stop having access to the denizens as playable characters. The ending warns you that you can't go back if you continue which I chose to ignore since I was on a good run and wanted to one-take it as I did with most of the regions in the game (I never re-explored them to finish side quests which I regret now) but after beating the game you can't even load into your completed world (If you try, you just get placed where you were before the final mission). Sort of reminds me of the ending to Bugsnax which had a similar problem although was slightly more clear with the abruptness. I would 100% pay for an expansion or more content for the game although I'd also just appreciate slow updates expanding on the lackluster denizens. Would still definitely recommend the game overall, just be prepared for the ending unlike I was.

A great little game. 10h of gameplay to finish the main story (probably could add 5h if I wanted to 100% it), didn't overstay its welcome, I'd say a nice experience for a fair price! As stated by some other players I would appreciate if we could keep playing after completing the game (instead of being sent back to a save before the final boss), but honestly that's a minor complaint. The card fighting part, although fairly simple, is more fun that I would have expected! I'd just wish they included more utility to low value ingredients, such as effects if you lose a clash (right now it's just stack the highest numbers because almost all special effects only trigger on wins), The cooking / silce of life part remains fairly simple and can become tedious after a while, but the game is short enough that it doesn't feel too heavy. Overall I had fun! A simple, lovely little story that I'd recommend for people who enjoy relaxing games. Try it out for yourself :D

La verdad, buenisimo el juego, aunque el juego sea medio lento la historia te engancha muy bien. tambien el diseño del juego es muy bueno (panko es re tierno jsjsjs)
