A restaurant with the world on its plate
Palo Pori is a peaceful village of artisans, safe behind its wall while ravenous monsters chew through the land outside. You play Panko, a young chef running the local eatery after his teacher goes missing and a mysterious visitor arrives with warnings from beyond the wall. Your patrons are the Caretakers, brave adventurers sent to save the world, and they fight better on a full stomach. Preserving peace starts in the kitchen: feed them well, and they head out to hold back the dark.
From farm and sea to the pan
Fresh is best in Palo Pori. You gather ingredients and resources, care for animals, grow fruit and veg from unlocked seeds, forage wild herbs and fish the local waters. Between meals you develop new recipes, work through a skill tree to sharpen your know-how, and adjust the decor to make the place more appealing. A cozy town-to-table loop, at your own pace.
Cooking for picky heroes
The same dish will not please everyone, so reading a Caretaker's preferences and crafting something thoughtful for them is its own quiet puzzle.
Flavour magic at the card table
Battles play out in turn-based combat inspired by trick-taking card games, staged as a charming puppet theatre when your fighter returns from the wilds. Watch out: the monsters have tricks of their own.
Can you play it solo?
Can you play it solo?
Yes, Beastro is a singleplayer game from start to finish. You run the restaurant, cook, and fight the card battles yourself, with no multiplayer or online play involved.
How long does a playthrough take?
Roughly 15 to 25 hours for the main story, depending on how much time you spend farming, fishing and decorating. It is a full story with an ending rather than an endless sim, and some players finish it wishing there were one more course.
Is the combat hard?
For most of the game, no: the difficulty is comfortable if you cook sensible meals and match flavours to the region you are fighting in. The final boss is a real step up, though, so it pays to arrive with a strong deck and well-fed Caretakers.
Do you need to be good at card games?
No. The combat takes a little learning, since matching your cards to a monster's flavour matters more than raw numbers, but players who say they are not usually good at card games still had a good time with it. The cooking side teaches you the cards as you go.
