Honestly, that’s the only issue I find with Boyfriend Dungeon. It is more about the story and the bonds you make with your friends in Verona Beach and the love you find along the way. Boyfriend Dungeon has a large amount of content in the dungeons and out of them, so while I’m used to experiences like Hades or Dreamscaper, this one is a little shorter but no less sweet. That isn’t to say there isn’t much content though. I’m hoping we might get an expanded storyline after the main game or extra dungeons because there are currently only two main dungeons right now. I should mention that two characters will be coming in future updates as well, so there is some replay value involved even beyond the current launch version. These dates can be platonic, romantic, and some of them are even fine with polyamory, so you can date more than one that catches your eye.Įach character is unique and fun, with their own distinctive story arc. At each love level, you get to go on a date with your weapon dates. You then spend some time crafting clothes, zines (magazines that give you powers), and gifts for your weapons. You traverse the dungeon, getting money, crafting materials, and leveling up bonds with your weapons. With all that out of the way though, Boyfriend Dungeon is different than most Roguelikes, in that it has a definitive ending, at least for now. This may not seem like an important option, but for people that have horrid relationships with their parents, it is a great way to minimize discomfort. Go into this with an open mind, and I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.Īdditionally, at the beginning of the game, you are asked whether or not you want to get text messages in-game from your Mom. While the villain tries to make themselves out to be more sympathetic, the writing doesn’t excuse their actions. You aren’t forced to just sit idly by while it happens, you’re given the tools to push back against it. Some people have had reservations as to how these things are portrayed, but personally, I think they are portrayed more respectfully than other media I have seen.
#Boyfriend dungeon stalking update#
However, the developers include a trigger warning and are actually working to update it to include more information for potential players.
This is where I should mention that people sensitive to topics such as stalking and manipulation may find themselves having a hard time with this game.
At the same time, weapon-people are going missing, and being attacked by an unknown assailant.Īs you meet these weapon people and grow closer to them, you unravel the threads of this mystery. As a result, you traverse the dungeon (shortened to the dunj) to not only bond with your weapon friends, but also to deal with your personal issues. It turns out, that those monsters are actually manifestations of your inner fears, things like change and intimacy. Monsters appear in various places such as The Mall, and you are paid to go in with a weapon and exterminate them. This world is a world in which there are normal humans who are referred to as Wielders, as well as weapon/human (or weapon/cat, I’ll get to that in a sec) hybrids who can transform at will. Okay, so the premise seems a little goofy, but it actually has an endearing quality to it.
