“And when all of us nodded in understanding, it seemed like a good fit for the whole game and a hook for the Kickstarter in particular.” I’d rather just hang out with my cat all day,’” Short laughs. “I vaguely remember that early on, one of my team members commented, ‘Dating sucks, honestly. So, I guess this is a letter to younger Tanya, gently helping her see where roads like this tend to go.” It’s easy to relate to Short’s experience, considering most of us can look back and cringe at our past love interests. You really should reconsider this.’ Her words had the exact opposite effect than they should have. “In fact, when I started dating my first serious boyfriend, another well-meaning woman sat me down and said, ‘Tanya, he’s not a good person. “When I was a teen, I was an absolute sucker for a mysterious stranger,” Short says. This begs the question: why include him as a romanceable option at all? He is intentionally secretive and emotionally unavailable, and allows a relationship to go on for a while before inevitably ending it. Though Sunder doesn’t stalk or threaten you, he certainly isn’t the epitome of respect or moral behavior. ![]() If you’re a fan of dating sims, hack and slash games, and/or (like me) have always wished someone would combine the two, Boyfriend Dungeon is definitely a game to look out for.While there has been plenty of discourse on whether Eric’s gross behavior should have been depicted as explicitly as it was in Boyfriend Dungeon, I’ve been more concerned about the lack of negative attention on Sunder. I can’t wait to see what the full extent of this game ends up being, after being so thoroughly charmed after such a small section. This gives the dungeons a better sense of pacing breaking up the exploration and combat by chatting with your companion makes the whole thing feel like less of a grind and more of a journey you’re easing through together. If you get far enough, there are places where you and your weapon/companion can take a break and get to know each other a bit better. ![]() Your combos are highlighted in the top left corner, which is extremely helpful in combat (can every game just do this please?).ĭungeons also double as date sites, since your weapons are human too. I didn’t feel like I was constantly having to keep track of stats or that I was going to end up in a bind without resources. But exploring the depths of Boyfriend Dungeon’s Verona Beach mall was actually really fun. They usually require too much patience and attention to detail for me. I’m not much of a dungeon crawler person. ![]() You meet the game’s so called “bae blades” either while out in the world, or in the titular dungeons. While it’s far from perfect, it’s still rad to see devs give players more inclusive choices for who they want to date and how they themselves can identify in-game. There are romanceable characters of multiple genders, and you can choose between he/him, she/her, and they/them for your own character. ![]() That’s another cool thing: Boyfriend Dungeon has some solid gender diversity, despite what the name might imply. It doesn’t hurt that pretty much everyone, regardless of gender, is extremely hot. I only encountered three characters during my demo, but they all had clear personalities I was eager to dig into, even if I didn’t think I’d like them. It’s visual novel style, clicking through text with branching dialogue, and the writing is great. This is an incredibly Caitlin-ass game, in ways I wasn’t expecting. After seeing it at PAX East 2019, I understand the hype. Kitfox Games’ Boyfriend Dungeon has been grabbing attention since its Kickstarter campaign took off.
