The overall arc also involves the player being forced to “be the bigger person” and continue interactions, even if you’ve continually chosen responses that say that is the exact opposite of what you want. For example, when someone begins stalking you, you aren’t allowed block the person’s number or pursue a dialogue option that involves reporting this antagonist to the police. While it is realistic, I feel it doesn’t offer realistic options for dealing with the situation. I also take issue with the use of one of the villains in Boyfriend Dungeon and how it is approached. Eventually, you will hit a wall where you are dealing 0-1 points of damage and need to be knocked out to “level up” so you can progress further the next time. And it is a bit frustrating that you don’t actively get stronger as you dungeon-crawl. Sunder and Mandy’s La Rosa club is better about enemy diversity, but you’ll see the same sorts of foes–perhaps with different color palettes and more health–in both it and the Mall. The use of secret shops come up and I found myself wanting more of an explanation for them. While the dungeons are great fun, there isn’t much variety to their enemies. And each weapon-person is a different sort of weapon, with their own skill-tree, which means you can probably find one who works well for you. You can switch your partner before heading to the next floor too, to keep everyone at an even pace and level. Hangout spaces in dungeons boost relationship values, and so does using someone on a floor. Most of your new weapon friends show up in the dungeon, though you will meet one in the tutorial and another via a different method. Or reach an elevator, which tends to come up every few floors and on the same floor as a miniboss or boss. But essentially you go in, beat things up with your weapon-ally, and do so until you die. You can turn on a shield in the options, to halve damage and make runs much easier. I like to think of the roguelike elements in Boyfriend Dungeon as incredibly forgiving ones.
