Strategy RPG roguelike Food Devils planned for Switch, Switch 2

Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, Food Devils is planned for release on not only Switch, but Switch 2 as well.

The strategy RPG roguelike, which is inspired by games such as Fire Emblem and Darkest Dungeon, reached its funding target in only 72 hours. The total is well over $50,000 and a console stretch goal was recently met. Studio Daimon tells us that the project is targeting Switch, but also that system’s successor.

A bunch of information about the game can be found in the following overview:

You’re the last chef in a post-apocalyptic world!

Following centuries of excessive pollution, the gods reversed the food chain as a punitive measure against humanity. Centuries passed by, and society regressed to a primitive state! In this harsh new world, humans now inhabit biomes that each manifest a different sin of their former civilization:

• The Ashen Forest, a land of eternal flames, symbolizes the consequences of deforestation and forest fires.
• The Fungal Grotto represents industrial discharge and pollution, with its toxic, parasitized environment.
• The Candy Cane Canopy reflects the excesses of capitalism and GMOs, a bizarre landscape where monsters are composed of junk food.
• The Spectral Shores are haunted by eerie chimeras with plastic appendages, a stark reminder of the relentless sea pollution.

The Food Devils, embodiments of human ideals taken to extremes, offer dubious Contracts to the desperate survivors. Each Devil’s flawed nature presents unique opportunities and challenges!

Create the perfect ambience in your restaurant and romance any of the 5 Devils or pair them together, without gender restrictions. Who knows, some may even take a special interest in you… But don’t expect conventional relationships! They’re deeply idealistic and, after all, they are still Devils.

Food Devils combines the strategic depth of classic SRPGs with roguelike elements. You can also build and run your own restaurant to attract new adventurers and power up Devils and humans alike with monstrous food!

Key Features
