The rules of when you have to choose romance aren't clear either, so I went along with being flirtatious with everyone at first out of worry I'd miss something.įor others like me who prefer one romance at a time, it may be a bit overwhelming and uncomfortable to accidentally find yourself juggling romantic involvements with five of the seven weapon people. It's fine, and they do provide some nice context for the characters' thoughts on random subjects, but they're not substitutes for more meaningful time with each character while first establishing a romance. A cold character that warms up to you can suddenly be aloof when you get back to the rest spot in the dunj. There are quick interactions with the weapon-people while exploring the dungeons at special rest spots, but their reactions don't change as your relationship grows. There’s just not enough time to get to know your date before having to decide to engage romantically. The first is a surface-level and often heavily flirtatious introduction the second is where you choose if you’re keeping it friendly or going for a more intimate relationship - and you'll usually get another chance at the third level to romance if you denied their first advance.

Since they’re almost all in your debt for your heroic rescue efforts you’re not starting from the point of having to win anyone’s favor - you’re choosing who to reject, if you decide to deny anyone - so already we’re cutting right to the chase and skipping the introductory phase we see in games like Hatoful Boyfriend and Hakuoki.Įvery weapon-person has six levels of romance, each with a corresponding date encounter, which increase as you gain experience with the weapons in the dunj by slaying enemies. By typical dating sim standards, romance is exceptionally quick and easy in Boyfriend Dungeon. Things get even weirder in the beach town when weapon-people start going missing, so naturally, you delve into the dunj only to find them and, of course, date them.
