Dating sims are weird. I’ve courted pigeons, wholesome fathers, monster prom hopefuls, ’90s velociraptors, sacrificial goats, Colonel Sanders, and now, thanks to Kitfox Games, I can date hot people that can transform into deadly weapons. What a world we live in.

Boyfriend Dungeon combines dating sim mechanics with hack-n-slash dungeon crawling, the idea being you meet human hotties and then use their transformational powers to fight monsters. The game’s title focuses on boyfriends, but you can also date women and non-binary folk if you prefer. You also pick your own pronouns, making for a super-inclusive take on the genre, which is what we like to see. The only thing that stays the same across all games is your character being a big ball of dating anxiety. Hopefully, a few outings with some sword people should sort that out.
