Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit! is a 2014 cooking-themed rhythm video game and a spinoff in the Senran Kagura series.[3] The game was released on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation Vita, while an enhanced version subtitled Full Course was released in 2016, which was also ported to Microsoft Windows.[4]

Gameplay

Tapping along with the music can create combos, and the more combos the better the food created in the game is.[5] The game consists of 10 levels, equating to 10 dishes that must be created. Every other level reveals more of the player's shinobi character's story.[6] All of the character and costume DLC from Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus is compatible with Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit!.[6]

Plot

In the game, Master Hanzo convinces the shinobi warriors of Senran Kagura to cook for him by holding a cooking competition, with first prize being a Secret Ninja Art Scroll which grants one wish.[6]

Development and release

Downloadable content (DLC), the "Gessen x Hebijo DLC pack", is available. It provides extra levels (dishes to create) and a free soundtrack app that features songs from the game.[6]

The game was released for PlayStation Vita on November 11, 2014 for North America,[6] and on November 12, 2014 for Europe.[7] An enhanced version for Microsoft Windows titled Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit! - Full Course was released on November 10, 2016.
