Nippon Ichi Software - known for series like Disgaea - has announced a brand new food-themed "survival strategy" dungeon RPG for Switch and PS4. It's launching exclusively in Japan next year on 27th January.
It's titled Shikabanegurai no Boukenmeshi and requires you to lead a group of adventurers out of a dungeon by fighting monsters, gathering materials, and cooking and eating a lot of food. There's a character creator and jobs (hero classes), which "bring variety" to the food on offer.
"You can cook “Dishes” by combining multiple materials that will enhance your adventurer’s statuses. If there is character with high “cooking skill,” the dishes will have better effects despite having the same recipe. Using materials as items to consume and enhance, or to use them to grow your basic stats is up to your experience and judgement."

If we get any updates about a possible localisation, we'll be sure to let you know. Does this look like your kind of survival strategy dungeon RPG? Leave a comment down below.

new game from NIS: 😃
Japan exclusive: 😞
Hope it comes over here.
Looks good it should arrive in the west mid next year.
Yeah, boobs don't bounce like that and why is that one girl's ass pretty much hanging out of her pants?
C'mon man...
I guess NIS is going to keep the trend of 3D disgaea games for a while now
@Daniel36
So basically, the game seemingly isn’t for you
@Daniel36 That's your takeaway from the trailer? Really?
But i'm glad the giant eye bats and lizard men are anatomically and physically correct.
Maybe, just maybe, it's you staring at boobs and butts too much and not the games fault, just a hunch though...
@Daniel36
Not all of us body-shame pixels, that's why!
@Einherjar Nah, it's definitely not me, that trailer was ridiculous. They were practically jumping through the screen at me.
But it's hillarious how this comment gets me the most attention.
But yeah, this game isn't for me, that's for sure.
Nice, reminds me of Dungeon Meshi but NIS style. I guess they'll use this 3D engine going forward now, let's see how that goes. The character designs definitely are great as usual haha
@Daniel36 God forbid you ever watch an anime
@UltimateOtaku91 Oh I have. Love the style, cringe at the fan service. Ruins it every time. Lodoss War was the last one I liked. After that, too much fan service. No wait, I forgot SOA. That one was good too.
@Daniel36 I had to rewind twice to find both parts you mentioned, didn't even notice the first time. Was too busy enjoying the music and thinking it looked like a flash game.
Removed - flaming/arguing
@Obs Hopefully. Don't drop the faith
@Daniel36 Is this your first NIS game?
@Gospel Nope, started out with Disgaea and had quite a few NIS titles.
@MegaVel91 Not sure where I sounded pretentious in my first comment, but whatever. I don't shy away from fanservice, it doesn't make me shy, it's just that it's ridiculous and completely unnecessary, and too often in anime the focal point to the detriment of the story.
If that makes me sound pretentious, so be it. I just find it a shame that some games designers feel the need to push this when their games would be more enjoyable without it.
@Daniel36 Lol! You’ve clearly touched a nerve here. It’s almost like some people feel self-conscious about enjoying fan service and feel like they’re being judged when someone else doesn’t.
Fans of fan service, relax. Not everybody has to like it
@Daniel36 I was with you until the last line. I'm not sure if fan service inherently makes a game more or less enjoyable to play. Sounds like you're just giving your opinion but you're definitely denouncing it as the "incorrect" formula to a good game. I get that it's not for you, I've started to move away from the TnA as I've grown older...but I also find the same repulsion in people who enjoy Gore and death and violence in their games. That being said, I wouldn't say games that focus on it are worse for it. Just not to my tastes but there are great titles that focus on it out there, like Mad World for example.
this and disgaea ARE not made by NIS its made by Nippon Ichi Software, NIS are just the localizers
@Slime
You're thinking of NISA, the american branch of nippon1. NIS is indeed the abbreviation used for Nippon Ichi Software
@steely_pete oh, im stupid
