In between battles in the dungeons, you can visit shops to buy materials, train at the gym, and go on dates at various locations. That said, a lot of the cooler weapons are reserved for Boyfriend Dungeon’s latter half, including some cat-like knuckle dusters. As previously alluded to, who you choose to spend time with is totally your choice, but it’s hard to see most people wanting to romance, say, the scythe-transforming Rowan when he’s introduced so late. Luckily, your trusty cousin Jessie is there to help lead you down this path, and it’s mainly through him where the 8 or so loving partners are introduced. You play as a character holidaying in the seaside town of Verona Beach, ready for a summer of love despite not having much dating experience. The story in Boyfriend Dungeon is also a simple one. Just don’t go into dungeons expecting Hades.
Even still, when you’re slashing and stabbing your way through multiple enemy waves, trying to level up, and gathering ingredients needed to create gifts for partners, it’s hard to complain all that much. It’s in these instances where it’s clear the “Boyfriend” portion of the game’s title is perhaps a lot more important than the “Dungeon” aspect. Unfortunately, this is where Boyfriend Dungeon somewhat disappoints by only giving you two to tackle, yet both are visually distinct and always offer up 11 or so randomised levels of challenge. When you’re not wooing the town’s locals in search of love, much of your time is spent actually inside the dungeons themselves. And while it’s true that every weapon boasts unique combat perks and bonuses, simple light and heavy attacks have a largely similar impact on enemies anyway.Ĭombat can be tweaked slightly by swapping out hats and enhancing a specific weapon’s upgrades. Was it so make or break that this meant I had to main a dagger when taking on dungeons? Absolutely not. I ended up spending most of my time courting Valeria because of our shared interests and how kind she stayed to me. This can lead to situations where you’re fonder of the person more for romantic reasons as opposed to whether their weapon form matches your preferred combat style, sure, but Boyfriend Dungeon is all about finding that balance. It wouldn’t make sense for him to be something more blunt or viscous. Isaac Estoc, for instance, a local financier with an aristocratic background and a fondness for philosophy, is represented in weapon form as a fencing sword. Each character’s uniqueness is more impressive when you realise that such specific traits perfectly match the style of blade they’re presented as.
It helps you to decide who you’d rather spend more time with. Nowhere is this evidenced better than in the interests and personality ticks of all of your prospective romantic partners. I’m not usually one for dating sims, but even I can admit that the writing in Boyfriend Dungeon is top-notch. The type of weapon they are can tell you a lot about each romantic partner’s personality.
What would you do in such a scenario? Wield them to tackle dungeons containing your innermost fears, of course! Boyfriend Dungeon is a zany concept, yes, but the dungeon crawling and dating sim mix works remarkably well – even if this date-filled summer vacation is over all too quickly. Imagine this unknown area you find yourself in is populated by people that can transform into weapons. No longer are you bound by previous relationships or friends, instead being able to forge ahead and start afresh. Chief amongst them being the ability to reinvent yourself. Visiting a new town is always exciting for many reasons.
