Description: Let’s make the best ramen for customers! “Counter Fight ICHIRAN” is a completely new cooking game that combines the experience of the VR work simulator game “Counter Fight” and the popular natural tonkotsu ramen specialty store “ICHIRAN”.
Review: ‘Counter Fight ICHIRAN’ is a noodle-based virtual chef style game in which you will be trying to knock up as many bowls of noodles (to the customer’s specifications) as fast as you can. As the game goes on you get more ingredients and more stoves. It should be noted here that “Ichiran” is a well-known brand in tonkotsu ramen, so think McDonald’s only with noodles) – thus this game is little more than a giant advert for the company. But the good news is its not a terrible advert at all, in fact, it is fun to play and it mostly looks good, but it really should have been free given the advertorial nature of the game. While I don’t suggest anyone pays £11.39 for this, it is worth grabbing in a sale if you enjoy this genre of game.
