Some of the dateable characters worked better for me than others. However, I do love a dungeon crawler where different aspects are randomly generated to keep things spicy! Layouts of dungeons will change each time you load in, as well as the number of enemies, collectable locations, etc. I found it a compelling incentive, since this is also how we get the bulk of the narrative content.Īmanda: Unlike Tara, I haven’t played Hades, and I know I’m missing out. The game also encourages leveling up all of the weapons, because you can only go on dates with them each time they’ve gone up a level.It’s gentle and I appreciate that it encourages progress over perfection. You can use them to craft hats that can help you in the dunj, clothes to make you look cool, or gifts to give to your friends and/or paramours (depending on who you want to romance). Not only is there no penalty for dying, you take collected resources home with you. You’re meant to go through the two dungeons multiple times.Fighting in the nightclub dunjīoyfriend Dungeon reminds me of Hades in two ways: That’s right! You’re going to find weapons who are also (usually) human and you can fight with them in the dunj! Or you can date them at places like the beach or a park! It’s hella cute and I’ve already played it twice. When you get to the mall, you learn that Isaac is an épée, which is a fencing weapon. Your cousin, Jonah, sends you to the mall, which is also a dungeon, so you can meet his friend Isaac and fight your way out of there together. You play as the main character and everything is told from your perspective as you roll into Verona Beach to hang out for the summer and hopefully try dating for the first time.

Tara: Boyfriend Dungeon is what you’d get if a dating sim and a dungeon crawler could make a beautiful video game baby together. I’ve been anxiously awaiting its release! And luckily, Amanda was into it too!Īmanda: I was blessed enough to back it on Kickstarter and got some cool limited edition swag. I started playing that evening and was totally hooked. I don’t really believe in signs, but by the third message, I was sold. A few weeks ago, three people sent me (Tara) a link for Boyfriend Dungeon in the Nintendo Store.
