In this title not only are you able to work your way through a variety of procedural dungeons taking on enemies and collecting loot you’re able to spend that loot dating your weapons.
Boyfriend Dungeon delivers some really thrilling romances. But it's let down by the dungeoning side feeling a bit undercooked.
Fight some monsters, woo some swords, and embark on an adventure of self-discovery and fun.
Boyfriend Dungeon is an excellent example of a flawed gem, with an original premise and an engaging gameplay loop marred by a lack of development of ideas and mechanics. Combat is really fun, until you realize it's kind of shallow. The characters are interesting, until they become unbelievable or downright unlikeable. It's the kind of game that seems pretty great until you really get to know it, after which it can start to feel like work. We'd give Boyfriend Dungeon a very light recommendation, as there's enough here to justify a purchase and you'll likely be glad that you gave it a shot. That said, there are some legitimate issues in its execution, so maybe wait for a deep sale before picking it up.
Boyfriend Dungeon offers a fun spin on the dating sim formula, but its roguelite parts don't always mix well with developing romance. Being uncomfortably close to the antagonist dulls Boyfriend Dungeon too.
