Boyfriend Dungeon is a unique mix of a dungeon crawler and visual novel where your weapons are also your love interests. The combat is simple but fun, with each weapon having different skills and buffs as you level up your relationship with them through dating. The game also offers great queer representation, with non-binary characters and the ability to date anyone regardless of gender. However, the game's major flaw is its length, with only two dungeons and a short storyline. The customization options and music are fantastic, with the voice acting also being top-notch. Overall, Boyfriend Dungeon is worth playing, but it could use more content.

Buy

Pros:
  • Simple and fun combat system
  • Great queer representation
  • Unique relationship between wielder and weapons
  • Good customization and music
  • Superb voice acting
Cons:

PC Windows Mac OS Linux IOS iPhone

Forward: Escape the Fold is a retro-styled, simple, and bite-sized roguelike/roguelite game that is meant to be played in short sessions. It offers fun decision making and the procedurally-generated replayability that fans of the genre crave. The game is very relaxed, offering a very simple premise - enter a procedurally-generated dungeon and fight your way forward until you escape or die. The game's rules are simple, but your choices are carefully considered, and the depth of the game is more vast than expected, creating an interesting dynamic of weighing benefits with the sacrifices made to get those benefits. Combat is extremely simple and any time you come across an enemy that you can attack or be attacked by, your health is reduced by the damage number on the enemy card, and the enemy disappears. Your goal is simply to have more health at the end of each stage than the boss card's damage number.

Buy

Pros:
  • Quick games
  • Easy to learn
  • Lots of replay value
  • Variety of different game modes and challenges
  • Well-designed and challenging
Cons:
  • Repetitive gameplay, lacks variety between runs
  • Not challenging enough on classic difficulty
