Critic Reviews for Enter the Gungeon
Enter the Gungeon is a good shooter that underdelivers on its promise. It's still fun, but there are better examples of the genre.
Enter the Gunegon combines familiar ingredients but the result is unique and delicious.
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.
A clever mix of well-worn genres, that knows exactly what to take from each in order to create its own entertainingly unique experience.
Succeeds as a shining example of the bullet-hell roguelike that's just tough enough without coddling the player
Enter the Gungeon is a challenging roguelike with awesome ideas that often contradict one another.
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.
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.
