It's a great concept on paper: spending time in a dunj with a particular weapon equipped builds their love rank, which in turn unlocks another date with that character after reaching each love rank level.
You'll be wanting to spend time in the game's two explorable dungeons to build your relationships with each of the seven romanceable characters/weapons. The enemies tend to simply charge at you or fire projectiles from afar, so every combat encounter boils down to running around, getting a couple of hits in, dodge, and repeat. Each weapon has a combo list, but in reality it only results in pulling off light and heavy attacks in different ordered sequences. The real downside is how basic the dungeon-crawling is, particularly at the beginning of the game. The movement itself feels a little slippery, and the dodge rolls have a strange delay before performing the actual roll, but it's something you get accustomed to over time. You'll mostly be utilising dodge rolls, light attacks and heavy attacks to clear floors of different monsters and bosses. Unfortunately it's immediately apparent that the combat is serviceable at best.

And although the content warnings have been the cause of some fiery Twitter debates, it's nice to see developers create a gaming world that strives to be inclusive. You'll be greeted with content warnings for emotional manipulation, given the option to not receive texts from your Mom, and the chance to choose your character's pronouns – including non-binary options. The opening messages and character creation will clue you in to the considerations the developers have made in making Boyfriend Dungeon a modern dating simulator. Over the course of one summer, you'll be going on different dates and clearing procedurally-generated levels of monsters to increase your love rank with each datable character. Coincidentally there's a mall infested with monsters for you to clear out with your sexy date in tow. In this world certain people can transform into weapons – from daggers to lasersabers to brass knuckles – that others can wield. According to Jesse, you've never been on a date before and Verona Beach is the perfect place to come out of your shell and date some hot weapons. You meet up with your cousin Jesse, who shows you your accommodation and quickly sets you up on several dates. The dating elements are the most successful, thanks to some wonderful characters and writing, but the dungeon crawling and combat doesn't have the same depth.Īfter creating an adorable little character, the story begins as you arrive in Verona Beach for the summer.
It's a killer concept that doesn't quite make the cut.
