It’s an unmissable game that truly feels at home here. And whether you’re playing for the first time or the 896th, it feels exciting, fresh and unique. Enter the Gungeon has always been a game that you must play, now, on the Switch, it’s a game you must OWN.

Enter the Gungeon is a magnificent accomplishment in being able to merge an assortment of different things and excels in creating its own distinct package. If you’re a fan of either roguelikes, bullet hells, twin stick shooters or none of them like myself, you owe it to yourself to play this game. Due to how many guns, enemies and abilities to encounter, there are countless hours of gameplay and I look forward to jumping into the Gungeon every now and them for years to come.

Overall, Enter the Gungeon has plenty to keep you busy, whether it's collecting everything and filling up the "Ammonomicon" or just attempting to finish it with each of the characters.

As a whole Enter the Gungeon is every bit a best-in-class roguelike shooter on the Switch. Not only is the core gameplay wonderfully intense yet tightly controlled but touches like a well-implemented teleportation system in the map prevent your adrenaline levels to have a chance to subside. The bosses all have their own feel and most have quite a personality to go with their toughness. All things considered if you’re a roguelike shooter fan in the least you would be doing yourself a great disservice not giving Gungeon a spin.

More unlockable merchants and the possibility to open up shortcuts to lower levels of the Gungeon keep me hooked on the quirky Roguelike - despite dying at least a hundred times over the course of the game.

Enter The Gungeon is an excellent example of a what a twin stick shooter should be and of a port done right. Its soundtrack and cool visuals are underpinned by an excellent control system and depth that keep you hooked.

All in all, Enter the Gungeon is an enjoyable little indie game in a similar vein to The Binding of Issac, yet is different enough to be set apart from it's counterpart in many ways - The difficulty, the variety, and the god-damn puns are more than enough to satiate any Binding of Issac naysayers, and will keep you challenged for over 30 hours or more! I would rate Enter the Gungeon an 8.5 / 10.

No game is perfect, but Enter the Gungeon is currently the pinnacle of Switch indie titles. It displays beautiful pixelated visuals, addictive twin-stick gameplay and outrageous rewards around every corner. A must buy!

If you’re an XBOX One owner it’s hard to not recommend this title. You know a game is great when you can’t imagine the type of person that wouldn’t enjoy it.

Enter the Gungeon is unrelentingly tough. This wouldn't be so bad if it had a nice difficulty curve to ease players in, but it's all over the place

Enter the Gungeon is a very solid Bullet Hell-Roguelite. While it does relatively little new things in terms of gameplay, it combines traditional features in a fresh matter and underlines them with its own unique and quirky charm.

If you're looking for a roguelike twinstick shooter, Enter the Gungeon is one of the best. You'll shoot and dodge roll your way through procedurally-generated levels. Over 200 guns and secret rooms means you'll dive into the Gungeon again and again. It's not the most most innovative roguelike, but what it does, it does well.

I love action movies. Not all of them, but the good action movies. Those that are simple, but intense; hat have so much charisma that one manages to connect within a few minutes of seeing them. And it's weird, because one would expect the same to be said about those games labeled as "action": those centered on spectacle, in taking us to past wars, future wars and other less important wars. Nonetheless, that hasn't happened to me in some time. In fact, the only that those famous titles have to show are... weapons.
