Summary

Enter the Gungeon is a gunfight dungeon crawler following a band of regretful misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past. Select a hero and battle your way to the bot¬tom of the Gungeon by surviving a challenging and evolving series of floors filled with the dangerously adorable Gundead and fearsome Gungeon bosses armed to the teeth. Gather precious loot, discover hidden secrets, and chat with opportunistic merchants and shopkeepers to purchase powerful items to gain an edge.

Infinitely replayable. I've been playing this game in and off since 2020 but only just now have i managed to achieve 100%. This game has so much depth in it's mechanics but it is also very RNG heavy which can be frustrating if you want to actually progress.

The way you progress is by simply playing over and over again until you have developed a rhythm for how the enemies move and shoot. Getting better at this game doesn't require a YouTube tutorial it's just building up a strong intuition for every room, enemy and boss. I could pick this game up without touching it for 10 years and still beat the first 5 chambers. That's how well this game teaches you how to play.

All the hidden secrets also make each players journey feel unique and i even found something that i had never seen anywhere else online. The mass variety of the items and chamber layouts mean that no two runs of enter the gungeon will be alike.

The only thing i haven't managed to do in this game is beat the rat at punch out but it isn't required for 100% completion so I'm not counting it.

Adictive and hard but fair. The pig moment felt like I've discovered fire.

W game the bosses are cool and I overall think it is pretty good, I don’t think anything I can right can do it justice.
