It’s a great game that you can knock about in for a quick session or strap in and grind away until the sun comes up. Beyond that, you’ll eventually learn the importance of special items like blanks, which clear all the bullets in a room (among other things) and how to use each character's special abilities in crucial ways. The key to combat lies in learning different enemies' bullet patterns so you can time your all-important dodge rolls. You’re largely getting a clean slate each time you die, although a few guns will level up if you find them often and use them enough.
The frequently placed teleporters help eliminate the backtracking that plagues other dungeon crawls and the soundtrack is an absolute banger, especially when you’re facing down the many epic boss fights. The dungeons are procedurally generated and choc-a-bloc with secret rooms, helpful merchants and smashable containers. The gameplay loop for Enter the Gungeon is what you’d expect from a roguelite.
You take your pick from one of five starting characters, each with different backstories, loadouts and perks (The Hunter is best for beginners and has a doggo companion) head into the legendary Gungeon and get the treasure or die trying. There are more than 500 weapons and items at your disposal, many of which are themed with delightful pop culture references. Of course, what is a gun if it’s not being shot? Fear not: there is a lot of shooting in Enter the Gungeon. Almost everything is guns from enemies called “Bulletkin” that look like anthropomorphic ammunition to your UI with its shotgun shell-themed healthbar to teleporters shaped like six-gun wheels. It’s got a clever story about a legendary fortress that houses a GUN THAT CAN KILL THE PAST, which makes it easy to see the game as a delightful satirization of America’s outrageous gun culture.
It starts out innocently enough, with a tutorial designed to lull you into a false sense of security. Don’t be fooled by the sprites that it’s got, this dungeon crawler is tougher than a two-dollar steak.
