Enter the Gungeon

one of my favorite games my brother played alot and i decided to get on steam awhile back and now on here cuz its my favorite challenging game of all time even though i dislike most hard games! this one imo. is alot of fun!

I really like this game. It's an action rogue-lite, tight controls, great pixel art, lots of items and unlocks, and great challenge. There are some slight issues I have with the game though. Once you've unlocked everything there are items you may not see again in twenty, thirty hours or play or even longer. Getting snyergies becomes difficult. Honestly in some ways there are too many items and guns. I wish there was a way to have some control over the drops, some element of choice. Other rogue-lites, like Nuclear Throne which I love as well, gives you choice in mutations. You are picking up and dropping guns as you go through a run. The choices you make determine what kind of run you have. In Gungeon the only choice that has a material impact on the run is your starting character. Otherwise what drops is what drops and you have no choice. It can be frustrating having a good run but getting no good drops. Or even worst getting great drops but they're all active items so you can only use one. Frankly I want to just love this game and I do really like it but that lack of any choice during a run has started to leave me frustrated, especially since I've unlocked all characters/beaten all the pasts/killed lich/etc. Still worth buying and playing, especially for the very low price of $15.

Have put a few hours into the game and it has been an enjoyable experiance. Have made it to the fourth level a few times but can't quiet push through to number 5. You unlock more guns as you play the game which changes what you get in the chests it adds variety, found over time you learn the mobs and it gets easier to progress from level to level and lucking out on an over powered gun or 2 can help along the way as well. Each level has a theme and certain monsters are different. Would recomend to anyone who likes fast rogue likes, first 3 levels is about 20 - 30 mins and the game has a save function at the end of each level at the lift, so you can walk away and come back later.

I felt like it took too long for each run to get fun. The music was so so. I'd have given it 4/5 if it had online multiplayer. The boss battles were challenging and fun, I especially liked the Gorgun, but I've only played against the first 9.

Not as much fun as people have been telling me. You don't get a lot of powerups or items during runs. The dodging mechanics aren't very good. The weapons you get when you get them aren't very interesting. There's no way to keep any of the stuff you find or set up your own loadout. Available characters aren't fun to play. Also, if I walk into a room and instantly get hit by a walking bomb I'm gonna SCREAM!
