Dosa Divas

I enjoyed my time with Dosa Divas and even played beyond credits rolling to get the last couple of achievements. With that being said, it does feel like a half step back from Thirsty Suitors. There’s still amazing art and animations, fun flavor and lore, and a solid combat system. Definitely fun to be had but with fewer memorable characters and a more repetitive loop. Additional locations or a wider variety of things to do in each town would have gone a long way for me, Always feels good to find a solid rpg that’s under 10hrs, too. More of those please, indie devs.

Another charming (and even cozy) take on a turn-based RPG with some simple cooking minigames mixed in. The story is a bit rough around the edges, but the characters won me over for the most part. 3.5/5

A turn-based RPG with an engaging story about how an unresolved family trauma can lead to hyper capitalism and colonialism. The combat is fun, the characters are realistic and flawed humans, and the story is short and concise. Recommend 👍.

Simple clean RPG with a distinct visual style and a simply but effective story about family and cooking. Great if you are tired of the mess of systems typical of large RPGs.

The themes and art are Dosa Divas strongest points. If you enjoy stories about family, community and food this game's narrative will resonate with you. If those themes do not sound interesting then sadly there is not a lot here for you. The gameplay is very simple and will quickly feel repetitive. The only enemy variety is cosmetic and almost no player agency in how you approach combat. For those seeking a game with party customization and skill management there are none of those elements here. The game being relatively short and able to be beaten in 2-4 play sessions makes the simple gameplay bearable. For a casual RPG I enjoyed myself and emotional tone of the game resonated with me. I recommend this game if you are looking for something casual to serve as a palette cleanser between games. Ultimately your enjoyment of this game will be determined by your expectations.

Combate y gameplay sencillo que complementan una bonita historia. Entra hambre mientras cocinas los platos que te pide la gente, la verdad...

What do you do when the pain has existed longer than the joy? When it's been a decade of absence and you don't know if or when things will be put back together? What if, in the face of the unspeakable, the best you can do is a home cooked meal? It is not gentle, but it is kind. It is not subtle, but it will linger with you long after you've finished your plate. It is not perfect, but neither are we. All we have is each other and the moments we share, gathered around dishes that hold our sorrow, joy, anger, love, despair, and care.

Very charming game, and you can tell they put a lot of heart into it narratively and thematically in the short play time!

an excellent entry in the Outerloop portfolio. even highly stylized, the food feels rich, like I can smell and taste it through the screen. turn based combat and skills are fun to master, though the timing on blocks felt like a struggle sometimes. (skill issue?) loved the voice acting and truly wish it was incorporated more thoroughly in sections. cried at the end.

fun little game. the ending is more serious than thirsty suitors, which fits for this story. i think the conclusion could have been longer, or more scenes with the antagonist
