There is more content coming, like updated content warnings and two new romanceable characters, so hopefully more dungeons are part of that plan.ĭespite being too short to really flesh out all of its ideas, Boyfriend Dungeon is still very much worth playing, especially if you’re starved for queer representation like I am. Seeing as I was nowhere near rank 6 with anyone by the time the final boss was available, which is required to enter, it felt like the game stumbled towards an ending rather than earning one. While the game is less than 10 hours long, it really could have used at least one more dungeon and a few more ranks for each character, say 10 instead of 6. Just when it feels like the game is settling into a groove, the main plot is suddenly introduced, the summer is almost over, and the final boss fight opens up.
The game does have its shortcomings though, with short being the operative word: there are only two dungeons. It’s a neat gameplay loop that brings out the best in both the rogue-like and visual novel genres. You can date as many or as few weapons as you like, and you can even choose to simply be friends with them if you want using certain dialogue options. The dates themselves are cute and the characters are fun to get to know. Using a weapon will level up your relationship with them, with each level resulting in a date and subsequently a new skill or buff when using that partner like the ability to attack while rolling or having finishers inflict bleed on enemies.
Combat is pretty simple and can feel very stiff, but its simple nature along with the variety of weapons makes it fun throughout.Īs you make your way through the randomly generated dungeons, you’ll discover new friends/weapons who have been kidnapped and trapped on the various floors, their weapons mysteriously chipped. You also can dodge with B, use a Zine for a special ability like a fireball or grenade with R, and heal with L by drinking your beverage of choice. Every weapon has light (Y) and heavy (X) attacks you can mix in a three hit combo to battle the monsters the dungeon forms from your subconscious fears. This is Boyfriend Dungeon, a rogue-like where your weapons are also your love interests.Īfter creating your character (gender is chosen through he, she, or they pronouns which is nice) you’re quickly thrown into the Mall Dunj where you meet your first potential date: Issac the Estoc. You see, some people have the ability to turn into weapons, and when you’re not out smooching them you’ll be slashing monsters with them. He’s got some dates lined up for you to overcome your fears, like meeting up with someone in a cafe or delving into dangerous dungeons. You’ve been invited to stay in his currently unoccupied apartment in Verona Beach for the summer before his lease runs out.
Whether it’s from lack of interest, social skills, or anxieties, your cuz is here to help.
