Food Fantasy is an easy-to-play game that supports a fantastical story revolving around cuisines from around the world, and enables the gamer to role play as a restaurateur cum battle hero: The saga involves interacting and capturing various “food souls” or the personification of various world class restaurant dishes and using them to:
Battle it out with other food souls (à la Pokemon or Yu Gi Oh!) as well as collect food souls; and
Create a world class restaurant using the Food souls you have and their unique personalities to forge your own menu and food combos and earn money. This includes choosing things like different furniture and other game items, for example, to make your restaurant more swanky. Your tasks include making take out orders, develop recipes, and DIY management of customers as well.

Currently, according to Sensor Tower, Food Fantasy is ranking at 106 in the month of October’22 in the US iPhone charts. Here’s an info-graphic that shows the recent rankings of the game.
In short, they are the main story driving force in the Food Fantasy world of “Tierra,” literally food personified. They were once dormant spirits who inhabited different kinds of food, and were awakened by scientists who bring life to them in the game universe.
The player has to collect food souls to build an arsenal. After all Food Fantasy is a food story-driven game, so the focus in on different kinds of ingredients, cuisines, cooking styles, and everything else food-related, making it one of the most unique and bizarre games out there!
And as you collect food souls, in this gacha game, there are more common ones, along with rare and ultra rare food souls that can be collected.
Best part is, you can not only collect food souls that are foods, but there are various drinks including alcoholic (beer, gin, red wine, etc.) and non-alcoholic ones (cola, Earl Grey tea, Oolong tea, etc.) that you can find as you collect ingredients to build your team.
The different characters come in tiers or levels depending on rarity and are food personified or carry the names of the food/drinks they represent. The categories, along with examples include:
Specials: B-52 (the layered cocktail liqueur), Beer, Black tea, Boston lobster, Peking Duck, Pizza, and Rice.
Ultra rares: Bibimbap (The now-famous Korean mixed rice), Apple Pie, Blue Cheese, Bouillabaisse (a kind of French fish stew), Chocolate bar, Croissant, Cookie, Dragon’s Beard Candy (the world’s earliest cotton candy, now quite an internet sensation), Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, among others.

Summoning Food Souls
To fight the main antagonists in the game, the Fallen Angels, you have to collect food souls and battle them. Your main move is to summon various characters or food souls using in-game currency in the form of Soul embers and magic crystals (use up soul embers first as they have no other use than summoning food souls).
If you summon already collected food souls in the game, Food Fantasy gives you shards which you can use to ascend/evolve your food souls (much like Digi-eggs in Digimon adventure) or perform Shard Fusion that is basically raring up your food souls.
While playing Food Fantasy, there are some Food souls including Toast, Spaghetti, Black Truffle, etc., that cannot be summoned. They can be acquired permanently, however, but not acquired through summoning.
Food Fantasy Recipes
Recipes are the chief way of driving the story forward as they help increase the fondness of the Food souls you have. Additionally you complete take out orders, deliveries, fill airship crates, etc.
There are four kinds of cuisines from which you try out recipes, which are:
Gloriville: Involve meat, deep frying, and stewing techniques.
Sakurajima: Involve simple cooking, but gets knife skills to the test.
Light Kingdom: Stir-frying and steaming, among other techniques.
Lost Recipes: From forgotten cuisines such as Calamari skewers, grilled prawns, etc.
The first three are given as choices for you to learn, while lost recipes can be uncovered as and when you progress through different story lines in the games over the normal and hard stages of Food Fantasy.
Depending on the cuisine you choose first, you have to learn to make all the different game items in that, and that automatically gives you the ability to make everything from the other two cuisines as well.
You can acquire the requisite ingredients by playing Food Fantasy through the Normal and hard levels, but users are able to have brought Food Fantasy from the Market. Each recipe has an exquisite or gourmet counterpart that will be unlocked while you cook.
To develop on a Food Fantasy recipe, all you need is to have all the ingredients at hand and wait for the recipe to be unlocked.
Each recipe has 5 different attributes or aspects, which give the gamer different ability. These are:
Flavor: increases fame
Texture: increases extra Gold
Aroma: increases customer flow
Appearance: makes the dish cheaper to make
Eating time (for the customer to eat each particular food fantasy item): Static attribute
The more frequently you make a dish, the better you get and higher its attributes get too.
Seasonings
Seasonings are used to increase specific attributes of a dish, and various kinds of seasonings from black pepper to condensed milk are available. These do not include exquisite versions of seasonings including crystal sago, diced scallions, fresh garlic, etc.
Hundreds of Recipes to choose from … and here are some stats
