Adventure Bar Story is a tactical role playing game that costs $3.25 and includes in app purchases where your goal is to prevent your sister selling the family business to a restaurant mogul, you have vowed to become his culinary rival. To cut costs, you're eliminating the supply chain and collecting your own fresh ingredients. Some of them fight back, but who said success was easy?

Pros
Pro Impressive strategic depth
Purchases must be balanced between adventuring gear and cooking supplies. Adventuring is the cheapest way to get ingredients and the only way to advance the story. But adventuring will never provide enough of certain stables (salt, milk, etc.) so you'll need to spend a lot of your cash on them, along with additional kitchen equipment and (optional, but convenient) recipes. You can't just ignore cooking, either -- in addition to being your primary income, character levels are gained only by eating!
Cons
Con Recipe discovery doesn't always make sense
Trying original recipes is not completely essential, but definitely an important game feature. Sometimes, ingredients go together exactly as you would expect based on other in-game recipes or real-world equivalents. Sometimes, all the things that should work don't.
