This review is specially made for those who like to get all the achievements in games (minor spoilers ahead).

Description:
Ravenous Devils is a cheap, short, casual simulation/crafting game where you play a couple running two businesses, a tailor on the top floor and a restaurant on the ground floor. If you watched the trailer you already know that they use a specially cheap raw material… people. You will be selling both the clothes of the deceased as well as their meat, which is used in a lot of different recipes.

The story starts as you arrive in a new town after having to run away. There, the protagonist will establish their new businesses but soon complications ensue and they will cross paths with a few different characters that will make things interesting and the future uncertain.

The graphics and layout of the stores reminds me of fallout shelter, but the look isn’t as cartoonish and the backgrounds are quite detailed and have a lot of depth, turning it into a 2.5D game. Despite the price, the ambiance and voice acting is good but the writing sometimes makes it obvious that the game was made by non-native english speakers.

The gameplay is very simple to learn and the critical skill needed is really managing the timing of the tasks you have to do, and that requires some agility to be efficient, still, as I mentioned, it’s a casual game that won’t punish you if you fail. The upgrades you buy will help you progress faster but it can be slow at times and keep in mind that like in most crafting games you’ll have to repeat the same tasks a lot of times.

Regarding progress, the way you choose your upgrades can make your progress much slower so my advice is [/spoiler] getting the tables and become a restaurant only after you get the waiter and all the mannequin and display upgrades, this way you can focus on the cooking the recipes needed for the restaurant without losing sales from the other clients. Some recipes are also worth more money than the starting ones, so getting the new meat cuts and ingredients as soon as possible will help you get more money faster.

As a side-note, something I don’t understand is how, in a crafting game, all the cooking recipes are spoiled after you get the ingredients. Trying different combinations and discovering recipes is one of my favorite things is crafting games and therefore I think the game could benefit from having a casual mode and normal mode where everything wasn’t spoon-fed to you.

Achievements:

How much time: Around 5 hours, with a guide just for the few hidden achievements.
Game difficulty: Easy, but takes agility to be efficient.

Overall opinion:
Ravenous Devils is a short, casual crafting game with a horror theme and an interesting story but the crafting mechanics are very simple, which makes them repetitive after a while and, overall, there isn’t much content. Still, considering the price, it’s an interesting game.
