The Tale of Food

This unique gacha game lets players collect Food Souls from the summons pool to deploy in battle, but what makes the title stand out from the sea of character-collection RPGs is that the characters here are literally "food personified". Players will collect anime-style boys that have been patterned after real-life food from all over the world, each one with his own gorgeous character design to marvel at and backstory to discover.

The game also features a restaurant management mode as well as a home decorating feature to spice up the food-themed gacha game even more.
