THIRSTY SUITORS
Developer Outerloop Games Publisher Annapurna Interactive Format PC Release TBA
Given its story follows a skateboarding slacker facing down a league of exes, it’s difficult not to bring up Scott Pilgrim when discussing Thirsty Suitors. But we’re reminded of Edgar Wright’s old line that, where in a musical characters might break out into song, in his film they broke out into fights. Here, characters break out into JRPG-style turn-based battles, translating the back-and-forth of a difficult conversation into attacks and taunts. Which is, admittedly, the kind of thing you can imagine featuring in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comics.
