To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from Dosa Divas.

I certainly wasn't expecting a cross between Jet Set Radio, Venba, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – but here we are.

The culinary arts are important to both the narrative and the gameplay and so, while I won't make tiresomely obvious "food fight" jokes, it must be said that the story is surprisingly… stirring.I really must stress that Dosa Divas has a powerful and memorable identity of its own, but the above references are useful.

It's the colorful, often angular art and funk-tinged soundtrack that put me in mind of Jet Set Radio, for example.

So too does the rebelling against homogeny and authority, which (unexpectedly perhaps) ties directly into why it sometimes reminds me of Venba.

Sisters Samara and Amani reunite after many years apart, and are alarmed to find that their third sister – Lina – has abandoned the family tradition of lovingly home-cooked food in order to build an oppressive business empire based on mass-produced, minimally nutritious slop.
