While there are certain things about Boyfriend Dungeon that left me annoyed or frustrated, I also couldn’t get enough of playing it.īoyfriend Dungeon begins with you as an inexperienced person who hasn’t really formed any close ties with anyone. If it can also leave me wanting to discuss its primary characters with anyone else I know who’s also played it and marathon-play it until I beat it, those are added bonuses. Even the characters I didn't have any personal interest in were still entertaining to talk to, and I felt like they had a lot to offer this world with their unique perspectives, weapon abilities, and text chat style.One of the things that I believe is the mark of a fascinating game is the ability to inspire strong feelings about it. Boyfriend Dungeon keeps it simple, pulling from popular "types" and putting a creative spin on them.

The original vision gets convoluted with either a copy/paste formula for characters or completely disrupting the game's cohesion. Too often, with games like these, there's the trap of trying to present the "ideal" love interest. I get it.ĭuring my time with the game, I met three of the weapons alongside a few other dating options, and I loved how each person felt wholly unique. Rowan is a Scythe and a mystic and is perfect for those fellow introverts out there that just want to spend time with their plants. There is also Seven, a Lasersaber, that is every K-pop fan's dream come true, while Sawyer, who is a Glaive, is just the cutest person in the whole wide world but also known for being straight to the point. She's pretty dope, so I wooed her the most with my time in the game, but man, that inner angsty teen in me really wanted to pull for Sunder. She'll warn you that her BFF is a player and will offer you a chance to dance with her instead. There's Valeria, who is a dagger, that warns you away from bad boy Sunder (who is a Talwar).

Starting out, you're acquainted with a humble room with a mirror to make character changes, a phone to make dates with, and a table to craft gifts on. What a crazy coincidence that they all also happen to be ridiculously hot. Tasked with clearing out the creatures in the "dunj" (starting with the mall), you're suddenly thrust into a world where even the simplest weapon can be more than it appears. While the character creation tool is limited, you can choose basic options like different hair colors, pronouns, and general vibe. In Boyfriend Dungeon, you can create the character you want. Its hilarious pick-up lines, desirable romance options, and colorful world all blend to form an enjoyable experience that anyone can jump into. In this dungeon-crawler, you're not just fighting with weapons you're wooing them too. Boyfriend Dungeon is the latest adventure from Kitfox Games, and it's about as weird as it sounds.

You ever look at a dagger and think, "Man, I really wish I could date that thing?" Well, you're in luck because Boyfriend Dungeon lets you do just that.
