Dungeon crawler lite meets dating sim lite.
As a combination of both genres, it doesn't really go that in depth into either of them. It's a very basic dungeon crawler as well as a very basic dating sim, but honestly I really dug that.
I think if the dating sim elements were more in depth, I would've gotten burned out. And if the dungeon crawling were more intense I think it would've taken away from the dating sim. I really thought they did a good job balancing it.
One thing I really enjoyed is you could set boundaries and quickly make it clear that you're just friends with someone but still progress their relationship, go on all the "dates", and still see their ending. No need for multiple playthroughs to see everything.
The LGBTQIA+ representation in this game is awesome and I really wish more folks played this. It's a shame the "controversy" overshadowed the game's launch.
The villain in the game absolutely made my skin crawl which I guess is good? Mission accomplished?
My wife is playing this too and she thought it was funny to see me faced with things that she, as a woman, has to deal with regularly with respect to the antagonist.
My only real complaint is that with the characters being your weapons, sometimes your favorite weapon might not be your favorite person. The person I ended up dating was definitely not my favorite weapon. But the plus side of this is it forces you to rotate through and try every weapon and not just stick with one the whole time.
+ Great concept
+ Fun light dungeon crawling
+ Fun light dating sim with mostly cute characters
- Not a very deep game. both in terms of the characters and the writing.
- Only 2 dungeon types
- Your favorite weapon might not be your favorite romantic partner
