I never thought I\u2019d experience the comedically over-the-top drama of Indian serials through characters in a rural American town. Burned bridges abound and tensions run high as mountains in Timber Hills, but Thirsty Suitors cleverly uses familiar turn-based battle mechanics to let its lovable characters creatively reconcile through self-reflection. Rather than making matters worse, fighting gives them space to share their deepest feelings, smartly showing how we often need to look back in order to move forward in life. While Thirsty Suitors does try to say and do too much through its battles, leaving me wanting more out of other parts of the story, who knew therapeutically throwing hands could be this fun.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n
<\/section>\n

You play as Jala, a local skating legend who left Timber Hills on bad terms with both her family and more than a few exes, which puts her in a tough spot when she suddenly moves back home after a bad breakup. From there you\u2019ll skate around town, unraveling the mystery behind a hilarious skate punk cult in an abandoned theme park while reconnecting with the important people from your past. Jala\u2019s talks with these characters carry most of the weight in Thirsty Suitors, with cathartic conversations clearing up misunderstandings and acknowledging past mistakes in the form of fights. The turn-based RPG combat always kept me engaged thanks to how it weaves precise timing into each encounter, whether that’s spamming a button to dodge or rotating the stick in just the right way for an attack.<\/p>\n

Thirsty Suitors dives into real issues, but it\u2019s lively and over-the-top too.<\/section>\n

Thirsty Suitors dives into real and serious issues, but it\u2019s lively and over-the-top too. That could be Jala\u2019s dad wobbling in joy after he takes a bite of food prepared by his daughter, or thirst-trapping suitors who thrust roses toward you with their thick thighs as an attack. The dialogue between Jala and her opponents can be used as a clever way of analyzing them to learn their weaknesses as well, whether you\u2019re talking to an ex, a vexing new suitor, or just some skateboarder kid. Your dialogue choices can inflict emotional damage and even influence how the opponent will respond \u2013 for example, a brief heart-to-heart could be enough to learn that a furious ex might fall for the Raging Taunt ability to apply a debuff. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

However, you don\u2019t really get to know most opponents before you meet them in battle. That means the dialogue can feel a bit overwhelming, with exposition often rehashing Jala\u2019s hurtful actions and trying to make amends in the same breath. Even when the story provides closure, conversations between characters get heavy handed with morals and life lessons that quickly feel overdone. It’s a rare and appreciated sight for a game to peer into the lives of so many non-white characters like Thirsty Suitors does, so perhaps developer Outerloop Games felt it needed to try and fit as much as possible into this roughly eight-hour campaign, but that doesn\u2019t stop it from feeling a bit overstuffed. Each character has an entertaining sense of humor, but wry jokes from the narrator \u2013 the negative voice in Jala\u2019s mind who takes on the role of her exemplar sister, Aruni \u2013 are similarly tiring. Interjecting narrators are already a pet peeve of mine, but that voice taking on a resentful personality only makes it more grating.<\/p>\n

Confrontations are extravagant, with expressive visual design and music.<\/section>\n

Everyone seems to have beef with Jala, from the local skater kids who follow Soundie \u2013 a radical, misunderstood guy in a bear costume \u2013 to suitors sent by her grandmother. While the combat is fun overall, I found myself rushing through those predictable battles to get to the really good ones: the fights with your exes. Battles against Jala\u2019s exes are set in their \u201cinner worlds,\u201d a theatrical representation of their insecurities, culture, and personality. Confrontations are extravagant with expressive visual design and music, contrasting the quaintness of everyday life in a small town. Dodging giant, unexpected slices of cake thrown by an ex with a sweet tooth or a crystal beam shot from one who considers herself a maharani (queen) kept me delightfully on my toes. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Reconciling with Jala’s exes also unlocks cute Charms for each character on her early 2000s cellphone, which you can then equip to get buffs in battles. The Charm based on Irfan, one of the more gentle-hearted exes, was my favorite as it gave me a bonus turn after healing. However, their effects are generally more subtle, making Charms easily forgotten in a menu screen you rarely need to visit. Thirsty Suitors doesn\u2019t always make it clear enough how damage is calculated either \u2013 but it never stopped being entertaining to call down Auntie Chandra for quick workout session or chug a banana milkshake I got from the diner whenever my health got low. <\/p>\n

Some plotlines could feel rushed, but cooking scenes always dug deeper.<\/section>\n

As the levels got tougher, I realized that cooking was necessary to survive battles. Food items can be used to recover health and increase a resource called Willpower that\u2019s used to cast powerful attacks, but spend some time cooking up South Asian recipes and they\u2019ll give you an even bigger benefit in the next fight. Cooking uses the same timed button-pressing mechanics as the battles, but critical comments from Jala\u2019s unsatisfied mother and the pressure of getting a perfect score make it all the more intense. Snappy banter from both sides of the kitchen island heats the room, and the fast-paced tabla (drum) beat only adds to the drama as arguments unfold. Being an imperfect brown woman who doesn’t always follow the traditional path myself, this bickering hit close to home. But preparing dishes under her parents’ guidance still takes on its own form of intimacy, revealing generational trauma and being sent on guilt trips over Jala’s life decisions. With so much emphasis on fighting, some of the familial plotlines could feel pushed to the side or rushed through by the end, but cooking always dug a little deeper.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Thirsty Suitors also admirably takes on the responsibility of talking about subjects that most games (and even many people) shy away from, like families rejecting queerness, accepting oneself for not meeting the expectations of others, feeling like your efforts aren’t enough, and larger societal pressures. Fighting and cooking critically examines both culture and identity in insightful ways while remaining tailored to the respective characters involved, whether it’s your ex Diya getting kicked out of her Brahmin caste family or how laws prevent Aruni\u2019s fiance from visiting his grandmother in Palestine. There\u2019s a lot happening in Thirsty Suitors, but the story, activities, and characters always feel intentional in how they are presented. <\/p>\n

Thirsty Suitors breaks boundaries in a way I hope we see more of.<\/section>\n

There\u2019s a lot to appreciate from a South Asian perspective, too. I loved coming across small but impactful little references I could relate to: seeing a carom board in the living room, Jala’s mom bringing out the chappal when summoned into battle, talking about Kanchipuram saris, a pervasive love of mangoes, and even a talking cat named Shah Rukh \u2013 likely named after the famous Indian actor. On top of that, voice performances for its non-white characters include accents that aren’t disparaging, with art that confidently places dark-skinned Black and Brown characters center-stage. Thirsty Suitors breaks boundaries in its eccentric storytelling and character design, but it\u2019s a risk that pays off so well I hope we see more follow in its footsteps.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
