8/4/2023 0 Comments Boyfriend dungeon reviewWhat is so intriguing about Boyfriend Dungeon is the game’s premise. Painting a bizarre world, even for a dating sim The result is a solid product and a fun romp, but I can’t help but come out of the experience identifying plenty of changes that in fact could make this good game something much greater. As teased via interviews and marketing over the past two years, it’s filled to the brim with saucy romances and fast-paced combat. serious topics are treated in it as a joke and it's honestly both dehumanising and disgusting to see.Boyfriend Dungeon, the dating simulator blended with a dungeon crawler fix is finally here. if you hoped for a good dungeon experience, hold yo horses, there are literally two dungeons to do and you can finish the whole game in 2-3 hrs - If you ever experienced people forcefully flirting with you or trying to sleep with you irl, don't play this game. TL DR: - For the given price, both dating and dungeoneering parts leave a LOT to be desired. For people who experienced these kinds of aggressive 'seductions' in real life, I assume many won't and will not sign up for this kind of treatment - which does not only limit itself to the title's villain. Who cares if an innocent man died if it was done by a sexy lad, am I rite? - no game has even made me uncomfortable and even disgusted by the level of writing and the aggressive way in which characters wished to interact with my protagonist. You witness a dead body in the corner? Oh that's okay as long as it was done by one of your bae's. The protagonist's choices are often making no sense in the narrative or, yet again, are turned into another shallow joke. They will still treat you as their one and only - even when all of them end up meeting together at a certain part of the game to proclaim they unwavering affection to your character. Do you wish to date all the weapons to unlock all their skills? Game says 'be my guest'. No consequences to your 'romantic' actions. Oh, and if said character refuses to sleep with the datable chars after knowing them for less than a month, the game somehow brands them as asexual. Character's family: for some reason is happy for the character who never entered any kind of romantic relationship or even any remote levels of intimacy with anyone to be literally pimped out by their cousin. And yet again, the warning given at the beginning of the game does not warn you about that. But here, it feels forced and repeatedly made me uncomfortable as the unwanted advances were forced upon the player character without a chance to properly refuse or retaliate against them. Everyone wants to date your character following ye olde trope of 'Loved By Everyone' known in such dating sims. Dealing with abusive parent turns into an exchange of jokes between millennials and foolhardy boomers. Depression? Oh, it's just a way to depict the character as cool and aloof and apparently saying 'whatever' a lot makes up for it. the game warns you at the beginning about the potential topic of stalking being breached - what they forget to mention is that almost the whole cast of characters you can date betrays bigger or smaller levels of romantic aggression and stalking - Topics which should be breached with respect and care are turned into either a butt of the joke or a way to coolify the character. Beneath a very shallow layer of personalities, all dating options are rather shallow, aggressive in their wooing methods of the protagonist and almost abusive in terms of trying to win protagonist's approval. Now, as for the dating sim part: - There are no words to describe how much I despised this part of the game. Some are super easy to wield and can make your dungeon experience far easier - others are underpowered and make you struggle through the whole dungeon of the same level, making the whole experience. One moment you kill the mobs on same level with one attack, another - the other type of mob can kill you with one attack - power difference between the weapons you use. Three types of enemies with different skins slapped on throughout the whole game. Not to mention, there are around 3 different enemy types (excluding da final boss) with unique attacks. They are incredibly short and for the price of a full game, you can complete it in under 2 hours - the weapons attacks are unimaginative and involve spamming of two skills - you -can- kill opponents through the walls and defeat them with no effort. let's start with the dungeon-crawling part: - Let's start with the most pragmatic side of the whole game: dungeons. It does not deserve a very positive rating on Steam nor praise. I have decided to create an account just to warn people about this game. This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view.
