There could have been a bit more variety in terms of enemies and areas, with me being hopeful that a potential sequel might fix these issues. Sure, every character you meet may want to hop into bed with you in an absurdly thirsty way. Which you better be able to do if you plan to survive for very long.īoyfriend Dungeon was far more enjoyable than expected. Each dungeon only seems to have one song that loops pretty consistently, if you’re able to survive for more than a floor at a time, that is. The soundtrack is fitting to the game, especially the synth/electronic tunes in the nightclub dungeon.

The other side of the artistic presence is the music. These are animated incredibly nicely and are actually one of my favourite parts of this game. The real key part here are the small animated cutscenes when a character changes from a weapon to a person the first time you meet them. The visuals while dungeon crawling is a bit more simplistic, but everything is distinguishable. The art outside of combat is nice: all the characters are well designed and their different sprites accurately capture their attitudes and personalities. This could probably do with some context, but I’m not giving it. This should have an effect on who you can have a relationship with, and who you can just be friends with. When building your character, you’re able to pick he/him, her/she, or they/them. I preferred what happened in games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, where everyone had a personality and their own sexuality. What are the chances that you will not only get along with the vastly different group of people you come across, but all of them will be attracted to you? This is where some of the traction of the game starts to let up a bit. It seems every single person that you come across is happy to date anyone and everyone. Weirdly enough, this is where the main complaint about Boyfriend Dungeon comes in. One may, or may not be a cat, but let’s just ignore that part. So less than a week after arriving in California, you’ll go from having never been on a date to juggling quite a few partners at once.

Going on dates with all of the weapons is important, as this is how you get more abilities for them. To date, or to dungeon crawl? That is the question.
