Marenian Tavern Story is a classic-style RPG with a focus on cooking and tavern management. Play as Patty, a young girl trying to pay off her family's debt by running a successful restaurant. Explore diverse lands to gather ingredients from monsters and the environment, then return to create over 600 unique dishes. In a unique twist, your party members level up by consuming the food you prepare, making the culinary arts just as important as combat.

81/100

Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God is a delightful blend of classic JRPG exploration and a deep cooking simulation. If you’ve ever enjoyed the Atelier series or Recettear, you’ll feel right at home here. The premise is charming: you play as Patty, whose family has been cursed by the God of Poverty and saddled with massive debt. To save them, you open a tavern and set out to cook the best food in the land. It’s a refreshing change of pace from world-ending threats, focusing instead on the cozy grind of gathering ingredients and perfecting recipes.

The 'leveling up' system is what truly makes this game unique. Your characters don't get stronger by just hitting monsters; they level up by eating the food you cook! This creates a wonderful gameplay loop where your adventuring directly feeds into your tavern management, and vice versa. With over 600 recipes to discover and a light-hearted, anime-inspired story, it's a perfect 'relaxing' RPG. While it can get a bit grindy in the late game when you're hunting for rare ingredients, the satisfaction of seeing your tavern thrive and your party grow stronger makes every dungeon run worth it.

Wonderful Game! Highly Recommend
Sun May 05 2019 Phoenix Fantasy Fox

This game is a spiritual successor to Adventure Bar Story, which I played on my 3DS. The game play is similar Despite being a mobile game, I think it’s vastly an improvement! The graphics are beautiful, with a 3D environment, pixel sprite characters and item icons. I’ve never liked 3D mobile games, but it turns out what I actually didn’t like was the was characters who were portrayed in 3D on such a small platform. The combination of 2D sprites in a 3D environment works really well! You’ll like this game if you enjoy RPGs. You run a tavern, make food, collect ingredients in dungeons, and have a cast of characters that make up your party that you level up and can equip with different items. Also, you don’t need to pay anything at all to progress in the game! You can buy gems, but they also drop from monster battles not infrequently. Overall I am very pleased with this game and overjoyed that I found it! Very happy to be playing an RPG game on my phone that doesn’t use energy or gatchas or need to use RL money to progress.

Just one suggestion

Adventure bar story but better? This game is great. I can already see it’s improvements, since it brought most of the systems from it almost identical but polished. But just one thing... ingredients quantity being limited to 100 is rather tight. Especially the most basic ingredients, which are used in many other dishes and also other basic ingredients. Like rice, salt, eggs, etc. Raising the items quantity limit up to 999 would be highly appreciated.

Much better than a f2p

It would be unfair to compare this game to stardew, but it gives you that same sense of progression-by-living instead of by combat. The game essentially revolves around the dragon quest alchemy system, except you’re cooking food instead of making items. Finishing recipe hints by guessing the right ingredient leads to more recipe hints. Bosses are pretty challenging, though you can always wait and eat more food to gain levels if it seems too tough. My top two complaints: The game has fake iPhone X support (stylized borders). The cooking interface also gets pretty crowded after you learn a lot of recipes. There are filter and lookup options, but they’re not quite as robust as I’d like.

An enjoyable romp!

Though far from a unique or unforgettable experience, I found this game to be an fun way to pass the time. I enjoyed finding new recipes and new ingredients. The combat was fairly simplistic and the leveling system can be frustrating but these are minor nuisances. My issue with leveling was that I often couldn’t spare enough ingredients to truly blast through levels with spare dishes. Especially in the late game. All in all a fun little game though!

Never write reviews because this is where lots of lil’ kiddies buy terrible ptw games. I’m writing this review because this game is a phenomenal game with dozens of hours of story progression, solid jrpg mechanics with a necessity to do more than mash the attack button, and a lot of fun. Sorta reminds me of the old ps1 game azure dreams. Mtx is all pretty much qol stuff, not ptw. Great job devs! Happy to see Japan pushing back against the waves of Chinese junk games out there.

A fun & engaging improvement from the original

I played both the original Tavern story and this next installment and I’m a fan of both! Great rpg action and fun characters and battle system are a nice creative improvement- the cooking system is fun but could benefit with category distinctions to make it a bit easier to cook. But a great game overall!

Super fun game!

This is a pretty fun tavern game. It’s well worth the money. The combat isn’t bad and has an auto feature that I enjoy using. The characters are distinct and cooking is fun too. The only thing that would make this game better is the ability to date people!

More games like this please Kemco!

This game is a dream come true! I love Rideon games and this is a technically a sequel to the incredible Adventure Bar Story. Everything is improved and made better. Definitely worth the price. If you love cooking, collecting, and great RPGs, this one is perfect! PS: Work with Rideon on more mobile games!
