Little Dragon Cafe is a sim game where your character's mother becomes ill and you and your brother/sister (depends on which character you choose) must run your family cafe in her absence; gathering ingredients, preparing menus, taking orders, providing table services and cleaning up afterwards.It is beautifully animated and illustrated and the fact that you get a dragon to fly on (when he is levelled up enough) certainly puts an interesting spin on travel; however, the NPC's stories become steadily more tedious as the game progresses, and their personalities only more obnoxious to the point they are straight up rude and, from my perspective, I did not want to complete the quests, only doing so,that I could get the game off of my playstation. This is only compounded by the absolutely, diabolically, ineffectual staff that you don't get a choice in hiring; I wanted to put out someone's eyes every time I had to go back to the cafe because they were slacking and not doing their jobs. Something you are so very helpfully made aware of by a grammatically incorrect little message (THE STAFF IS SLACKING) in the bottom right hand of your screen every so often, no matter where you are in the world map. Requiring you to physically go back to the cafe and initiate a dialogue with them in order to get them back to work.It became a chore to finish this game. In order to obtain the platinum trophy you have to collect all the in-game recipes and ingredients, but many of them are given to you entirely randomly or wash up on your many hidden beaches that it becomes a daily gamble to whether you'll get anything or not.The cooking itself was a cutesy minigame, but excepting where there are required ingredients, is pretty much a 'throw something at it' rather than any particular true recipe, to the point you won't -and don't- need all the possible ingredients in the game to get by. You will also become superbly annoyed when your ingredients run out, or do a runner (stupid chickens) and you have to go out to collect more. Remembering that your staff are useless and can't be left for more than five minutes, unsatisfied customers just leads to terrible ratings and angry faces, though the impact of poor reputation doesn't stop more customers coming the next day and starting process all over again.Despite having a pet dragon, the mechanics presented in the game practically forget what a dragon is supposed to do. It never breathes fire and "combat" is essentially getting as close to a monster as possible without getting noticed so you can activate the button to get the dragon to headbutt it, otherwise be prepared to do a lot of running away. There is also no sense of achievement with raising it, because it only grows in size at certain story intervals and the only real change is what areas it can unlock. Otherwise it's just another attention grabbing NPC who needs fed and cleaned up after, otherwise you get more angry faces.There is no sense of achievement; no metric by which you advance yourself. There is no reward for feeding any of the customers who are not the focus of the story and they can be left to get angry for all you care.. The game could have used a wealth mechanic or something that you unlock for doing all your hard work, such as new outfits to wear or upgrades for your cafe to make life easier. But no, everything is given to you from the start, the staff all join during the tutorial, and your dragon and home only grow at specific points in the story.Overall? I would have to say that the art work and illustrations do not save this game. On balance it might be good for younger children, but the controls may be too difficult for them to master; because cooking requires quick fingers to get perfectly right, and "combat" such as it is, requires a lot of sneak up and run away which gets frustrating. I give it the extra star because I finished the story and was content to leave it at that.Otherwise I wound up feeling that it is a circular game of chores, between gathering goods, making food, and cleaning up (I have kids, it is equivalent). From this, if I am honest I must draw the conclusion I should instead just go do chores in my own house...
