Dessert Chain vs Hungry Hearts Diner
Dessert Chain
Dessert Chain is a very addictive and challenging time management game featuring popular desserts, including a particular dish that's very popular in the South-East Asian region. Developed by Indonesia-based games company, TouchTen, Dessert Chain features the somewhat frantic gameplay that you love in most time management game while adding in its unique charm by weaving its local culture into the game's gameplay. When it comes to upgrades, the game uses a system that resembles Cooking Fever, where players will need to use "premium currency" (also gems) to unlock higher level upgrades. And yet, interestingly, players can also collect these gems for free from each of the restaurants they have unlocked in the game.With so many levels to complete and 3 stars each to earn (to fulfill the completionist in you), Dessert Chain is one in many of Touchten's Chain game franchise. Fans of time management games will love playing this game, and from our own positive experience of Dessert Chain, we can confidently say that we recommend this game too!
Hungry Hearts Diner
Hungry Hearts Diner is an exceptional time management game. The game has a whole lot of depth mainly through the many heartwarming storylines that you can uncover as you feed your customers at your diner. In this game, you play as a kindly old lady who, despite hard times, wants nothing more than to serve her customers with the best food she can muster. Set in the Showa era of Japan, the game will also introduce you to the many different types of authentic Japanese dishes and let you prepare them all.The best part about this game though is the many stories you'll reveal as each customer tells you about their lives over time. The old lady is also incredibly sweet, as she did her best to cheer up each customer. This is an aspect that is sorely lacking in most time management games, where apparently the common and only goal is to do everything as fast as you can to earn as much money as you can.
Although the game does seem a bit lacking after you've completed all quests and uncovered all plots, Hungry Hearts Diner is quite the revolutionary time management game. This game shows that storyline is as important as the gameplay and if we are honest to ourselves, many time management games out there definitely need to brush up on their storytelling skills if they were to compete with games like this one.
