Kitfox Games has launched its dungeon crawler dating sim hybrid Boyfriend Dungeon as a surprise drop during last night’s Nintendo Indie World presentation.
The game sees you thrown into a series of procedurally generated dungeons that you’ll have to clear. However the weapons you use also happen to transform into people that you can date. Some of these weapons are being abducted & left damaged in the dungeon. It’s up to you to find out who’s doing this and why. Teaming up to take on the dungeon’s monsters, you’ll also build up relationships with these weapons to level them up.
Each weapon infers different combat styles in the hack and slash portion, and a different personality in their human form. There’s seven to pick from, including the Dagger Valeria who hits hard and fast, or the Lasersaber Seven who’s a K-POP Idol. Between dungeon runs, you’ll get to go on dates with your weapons, levelling them up further and uncovering more of their backstory. There’s several genders and sexualities on offer, and you can date as many or as few of these weapons as you’d like.
The game was originally announced in 2017 via Kickstarter, raising over $272,000 CAD in funding from its $65,579 goal. You can check out a trailer for the game below.
Boyfriend Dungeon is available now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch. It’s also available to subscribers via Xbox Game Pass.
