Studio Daimon has announced that early access for the roguelike SRPG *Food Devils* will begin on November 6, 2026, for PC (Steam).
Hunt monsters, cook, and strengthen your party
This roguelike SRPG follows the player as the “Last Chef” in a post-apocalyptic world, raising a team of adventurers through monster hunting, cooking, and restaurant management.
According to the developer, the grid-based combat and modern anime-style visuals are influenced by *Fire Emblem*, the storytelling by *Hades*, and the UI by *Persona 5* (via the international forum Reddit).
The game is set in a world where civilization has collapsed after the gods reversed the food chain in response to environmental pollution caused by humanity. Animals have transformed into monsters, and humans have been reduced to prey.
Players hunt these powerful monsters to bring back ingredients, cook them in a restaurant, and attract hungry adventurers. However, the adventurers who gather there seem to stand no chance against the monsters on their own.
Therefore, the basic gameplay involves having them form a contract with a demon known as a “Food Devil” to grant them power, then forming a party consisting of one Food Devil and up to four humans to embark on expeditions.
On the human side, there are classes such as Warrior, Shieldbearer, Mage, and Healer, with appearances and abilities determined randomly. Furthermore, since skills and movement abilities vary depending on the terms of the contract with the Food Devil, players will need to tailor their party composition and tactics to their available forces.
There are four types of biomes to explore, and the content changes with each expedition. The more rare ingredients and new recipes you acquire, the more powerful adventurers you’ll be able to summon, further strengthening your party.
Between expeditions, you’ll have the chance to interact with the five Food Devils featured in the game. You can delve into their individual secrets and the mysteries of the world, and even enjoy romantic relationships with them.
*Food Devils* is scheduled to launch in Early Access for PC (Steam) on November 6, 2026. A demo is currently available, and while the release date is unknown, a console version is also planned.
According to the Steam store page, a Japanese version is currently in development, but as of this writing, it is unclear whether it will be available simultaneously with the Early Access launch.
