Short but Satisfying: 'Dosa Divas' RPG Blends Family Drama and Food Culture
The game 'Dosa Divas' is a turn-based RPG set in a world where a corporation has outlawed cooking. Players control two sisters fighting against the evil corporation run by their little sister.
'Dosa Divas' is a roleplaying game that stands out for its brevity. It offers an adventure lasting about 10 hours, blending an epic quest with a personal story. In the game's world, cooking has been outlawed by a corporation that sells nutrient paste. Players control two sisters, Samara and Amani, who join forces to fight the corporation led by their younger sister Lina. The narrative touches on critiques of capitalism, the cultural significance of food, and complex family dynamics. The game also includes sentient mech suits, one of which joins the party permanently.
The combat system is turn-based with timing elements reminiscent of 'Mario & Luigi', requiring players to press buttons at the right moment for attacks and defense. Cooking minigames allow creation of healing items and feeding hungry citizens. The game avoids grinding and offers only a few abilities, all crucial for strategy. Its stylized graphics make the food look especially appealing, so playing on an empty stomach is not recommended.
A standout moment is the boss fight with the parents, which feels like a real family argument. Through flashbacks and conversations, the game reveals the characters' relationships. 'Dosa Divas' is available now on PC, Switch, and PS5. It's a game that will likely make players hungry for both food and more thoughtful RPGs.
