    While it doesn't totally reinvent the twin-stick shooter, it has all but perfected it and is worth every penny.

    A wonderful, demanding but rewarding, roguelike twin-stick shooter where the visuals connect with the gameplay and the music is getting you pumped to shoot more bullets at bullets. Enter the Gungeon does a good job of explaining its mechanics via tutorial and Ammonomicon, making it great first for anyone looking to get into this burgeoning genre. It doesn’t necessarily bring anything new to table, but what it does bring is extremely well done.

    Devolver Digital proves once again that it knows very well which independent games are worth supporting. Enter the Gungeon is a deeply engaging proposition and the multitude of challenges will keep you occupied for hundreds of hours.

    Enter the Gungeon's roguelike elements and vast array of crazy weapons keep it entertaining for the long haul.

    Explosive, sometimes even crazy, funny and joyful roguelike action – that is Enter the Gungeon. To combine frenzied top-down shooter with harsh difficulty and gigantic loot was a brilliant idea. Equally high is the technical part of the game.

    Both compelling and infuriatingly difficult, Enter the Gungeon offers hours of frantic bullet hell fun.

    Enter the Gungeon is an exhilarating experience, but the difficulty often comes from the game refusing to provide you the necessary tools, which offers its own unique challenges.

The music is appropriately chosen and sound effects are intense. It's easy to pick up and get into, and challenging and fun to master.

    The game does a great job of being challenging without ever feeling impossible. The controls are tight and you feel agile.

    I truly love this game, it has a certain charm that other games of this sort lack. I love the inclusion of local co-op, but my biggest complaint is no online multiplayer. While certainly a daunting task to engineer from an indy developer, it would absolutely be 100% worth it.

    Mostly a response to grayback's review who seem to either misinformed or terrible at the game.

    Having played 21 hours in the first 2 days of release, most of the guns are either directly more powerful than the starting weapons, or are more difficult to use. In fact, the starting weapons are one of the only things I find boring about the game. Getting new weapons is always exciting.

    Equipping your character is rarely something you get to choose, there's so many items that you're at the mercy of RNG.

    I find all the bosses to be of roughly the same difficulty level that I've encountered thus far and have been frustrated with exactly 0 of them. Everything they do is in a pattern you can predict, anticipate and dodge. If you screw up, it's on you. The game has not once felt like it cheated me. To top this off, there's an incredible variety in the enemies, it's simply spread out amongst the levels. I suspect greyback never made it past the first to 2nd level.

    This seems to be a case of someone who's bad at the game blaming the game rather than himself. I've played my share of games that feel like they screw you over, this isn't one of them. The balance is great, the variety is great, the art is great. The only thing that I would point to as being shy of excellent is the soundtrack.

    I would urge anyone reading to check steam reviews where the general consensus is "overwhelmingly positive".

    Great game it is such a blast to play. Take the time to learn the game and improve and you will find yourself very having a lot of fun. RNGGreat game it is such a blast to play.

    I feel like what this game was meant to be got lost in trying to make things still feel difficult, which they very much are. The game takesI feel like what this game was meant to be got lost in trying to make things still feel difficult, which they very much are. The game takes the rouge-light elements we've come to know from games like Nuclear Throne and The Binding of Isaac and tries to mix it with the colourful and interesting weapons that you might find in an Insomniac game (Ratchet and Clank, Sunset Overdrive). It does the latter quite poorly however, in that while the weapons look interesting, they almost all feel similar to each other, and most if not all don't fit the goofy gun-loving nature of the music and art style of the game. It seems to rely heavily upon an aspect that wasn't fleshed out to its fullest. Expand

    Just a weak Nuclear Throne clone. The game looks great and the idea showed promise but the execution is lousy. Not a patch on the likes ofJust a weak Nuclear Throne clone. The game looks great and the idea showed promise but the execution is lousy. Not a patch on the likes of TBOI:Rebirth.

    + Good visuals
    + Runs well
    - Boring gameplay
    - Horrible weapons
    - Weak upgrades/power ups
    - Levels are a cluttered mess
    - Enemies are dull and they just relentlessly fire
    - Poor soundtrack
    - Lacking in variety
    - No long term appeal

    I wouldn't even consider this game in the sale for under five bucks. I wasn't a big fan of Nuclear Throne but this is far worse in every respect. Stick to TBOI: Rebirth for a complete experience of a game that shows how to do this genre the right way.
