Enter the Gunegon combines familiar ingredients but the result is unique and delicious.
Top Critic
Enter the Gungeon's design is quite sophisticated for a game about shooting bullets at anthropomorphized bullets with guns; it uses elements of one genre in the context of another, enhancing its most enjoyable elements. Despite there being so many more moving parts than in a typical arcade shooter, it somehow feels more immediate and focused on getting you into the action and keeping you there. And where other similar games can run out of novelty within a few hours, Enter the Gungeon is still surprising me with new implements of destruction after 50 hours of play.
Top Critic
Enter the Gungeon is a good shooter that underdelivers on its promise. It's still fun, but there are better examples of the genre.
Top Critic
A clever mix of well-worn genres, that knows exactly what to take from each in order to create its own entertainingly unique experience.
Top Critic
Succeeds as a shining example of the bullet-hell roguelike that's just tough enough without coddling the player
Top Critic
Enter the Gungeon is a challenging roguelike with awesome ideas that often contradict one another.
Top Critic
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.
Top Critic
With tons to find, unlock and kill, Enter the Gungeon is easily recommendable to those that don't mind a bit of repetition and difficulty, and especially to fans of Nuclear Throne and Binding of Isaac. While it doesn't totally reinvent the twin-stick shooter, it has all but perfected it and is worth every penny.
Top Critic
Enter the Gungeon naturally won't be for everyone, especially with its high difficulty and the pixel art graphics, regardless of how well crafted they are. It is, however, an excellent blend of roguelike and satisfying bullet hell gunplay that's easy to dip into time and again.
Top Critic
There's a lot of depth in this game and it's a real treat to play, assuming you're the patient type that sticks around long enough to enjoy it.
