One of my recently cleared backlog from 3DS and this one surprisingly a good time sink. Ages ago, I have tried Adventure Bar Story back on mobile phone but only fully committed with the game on my 3DS. Adventure Bar Story is basically a Classic JRPG with simple simulation mechanics thrown into the mix where you play as a restaurant owner climbing up to the top, gathering your own ingredients from Dungeon and Monsters. For a game that appear to come out from RPG Maker, Adventure Bar Story surprisingly able to offer vast amount of content despite its limitations and you will spend hours trying to complete your Recipe without using walkthrough.
Adventure Bar Story may not be flashy, but it is decent enough to make me clock over 30 Hours of playing time. The old school vibe of this game really reminds me of Summon Night game on GBA which had crafting as part of its mechanics. The progression in Adventure Bar Story is directly tied to the Restaurant Fame in which daily sales and contest ranks are essential. For the party members, Lidia and Elias are the best ones when it comes for resource farming due to their abilities. Lastly always bring a party member that can steal in Boss fight as some of the unique equipments including the endgame stuffs are only available through such means. For its intention, I think the 3DS copy is the definitive version of Adventure Bar Story since the developer probably refined the game a lot to make it a proper console JRPG. Personally i could see the game could have some sequel but at very least i can still settle with the spinoff roguelike Adventure Labyrinth story.
