Monster Eater: Delicious in Dungeon

In this collaborative game combining the hit manga Delicious in Dungeon and the work of legendary game designer Ginichiro Suzuki, you and a party of 2–5 of your closest friends can delve the depths of the dungeon together, seeking fame, wealth, power, and more. But beware: Deadly monsters lie in wait—for you to dine on them! Hunt monsters in dungeon, kill them, cook them and eat them!

Beloved for its unique premise, engaging characters, and detailed worldbuilding, the series received an anime adaptation that premiered on Netflix in January 2024. Later that year, the series won Best Manga at the Harvey Awards and Best Continuing Manga Series at the inaugural American Manga Awards. In addition to the complete manga series and box set, Yen Press also publishes Doodles by Ryoko Kui: Daydream Hour, Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer's Bible, and Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer's Bible, Complete Edition.

The addition of Delicious in Dungeon to the Monster Eater games will aptly feature players as the manga characters cooking, eating and selling dishes made from the monsters they kill. Because they're delicious in dungeon with Monster Eater, two flavours that taste good together! Nom nom nom!
