Publisher: Kitfox Games

Developer: Kitfox Games

Genre: Dating Sim

Release Date:Out Now

Platform: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Switch

Dabbling into all elements of the dating world, from good to concerning, Boyfriend Dungeon attempts to tackle difficult themes in a realistic manner. All whilst you use the people you’re bashing to bash your way through dungeons.

Boyfriend Dungeon is an open-ended dating simulator, meaning everyone and their cat (literally, even a cat) is willing to give you a shot. Gender is a non-issue, with all romances open to your character no matter your identity. That accessibility is a recurring theme in the game. There’s a trigger warning before the games start, the ability to turn off supportive messages for a character called ‘Mom’. A lot of effort was put into making this game feel safe. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot more than so many companies would be willing to do. Everyone wants to get to know you, whether that’s at the beach or in the dunj is up for the player to decide.

There is the gimmick of Boyfriend Dungeon, the entire cast of datetables has the ability to transform into some kind of melee weapon, allowing you to wield your partner in combat. Very satisfying combat, I must add. Each partner offers different combinations, different movement styles. Throughout Boyfriend Dungeon you’ll find some characters enjoyable to interact with, and some enjoyable to fight with. For some, you get a nice overlap.
