Little Dragons Café

First of all, it must be said that Little Dragon’s Café is an absolutely gorgeous looking game. It looks like something straight out of the pages of a children’s storybook, with colorful character designs and beautiful, picturesque environments to explore. As well as being utterly delightful to look at, it’s also charming to play. It’s exactly what you’d expect from Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of H...

Little Dragons Café is the type of game I walk away from feeling more hopeful in the world. Each chapter ends on such an earnest note that it raises my spirits. Sure, it doesn’t have the deepest mechanics, and it’s not the most polished title I’ll play this year. But it has a soul and a kind heart that uplifts the basic gameplay to a place that makes Little Dragons Café an easy recommendation to a...

Little Dragon's Café is a causal sim/exploration game which is simply overflowing with charm. It's easy to get drawn in by the game's forgiving gameplay, great music, heartwarming stories, and dramatic day-night changes, and hard to put down, given all there is to do post-game. While its sim mechanics aren't especially deep, LDC provides a delightful way to escape the woes of the real world alongs...

Porting to Nintendo Switch is perfect for Little Dragons Cafe as it reads like a charming children's storybook fit for any age. Although gameplay feels like it's in a loop quite quickly, the characters are memorable and the artwork nothing short of awe-inspiring. The pace of this game may also be very slow for some though I have no doubt parents across the globe would appreciate this pace especial...

Even with its technical flaws and progression structure problems, I still can't bring myself to dislike Little Dragons Café. When Little Dragons Café hits its stride mid-game, it is indeed a beautiful, relaxing, and wholesome experience that I would recommend to those looking for a more laid back title to cleanse their palette before this busy fall season. That being said, enough problems did pers...

With a breezy pace and a comically weird story, Little Dragons Cafe is a unique take on farming sims. While I loved cooking meals, establishing my inn, and the anxiety-free pace, its management mechanics have been watered down just a bit too much and result in stakes so low that much of it becomes meaningless. Without making important decisions or a wealth of more interesting side-quests to captur...

Tip your dragon.

Booting up Little Dragons Café for the first time, the first thing that strikes is how damn cute the whole thing is. From the adorable twins you choose between to play as to the quaint café itself complete with delightful miniature vegetable patch and impossibly sweet chickens running around, everything is designed to immediately tug at the heartstrings. You’re then thrust into a bizarre, and surp...

The creator of Harvest Moon has found a new project in Little Dragons Cafe, an adorable life simulator that will have you exploring high and low while hunting for quality ingredients to please your denizens.

Little Dragons Cafe falls far behind any other game in the genre by miles. There just isn't enough here to keep people engaged long enough to make it worth the money.

There is almost nothing here to recommend. The whole game is simultaneously dull and simplistic; the gathering ill-matched to the amounts required, the minigames lacking any enjoyment, the story development laughably linear and the whole package feeling short of polish. The characters are the only redeeming feature of the game but they are stranded in a joyless game that would be disappointing wer...

When all is said and done, Little Dragon’s Cafe is a fun game but doesn’t live up to its pedigree. It’s a charming game to play through though, and well worth your time, but still leaves a little to be desired. The storyline, intentionally left vague here to avoid spoilers, is shallow but cute; and the restaurant management is almost worth the price of admission alone, but the game doesn’t feel to...
