Enter the Gungeon

Great game for anyone not named Zack because, people named Zack are terrible at this game

One of the greatest roguelites ever made. So punishing but so rewarding if you put some time in.

War Log - Day ??? I haven't seen sunlight in weeks. Everything is bullets. The walls? Bullets. The enemies? Bullets. My gun? A bullet that shoots guns that shoot bullets. I entered the Gungeon to kill my past. Instead, I'm watching a rat steal all my loot while I dodge bullets and make deals with cursed weapons. I think I'm slowly losing myself in the chaos. I tried to pet the dog. It looked at me like it remembered every run I failed. Then it sighed, dropped a blank, and handed me a note that said “[i]You will never escape.[/i]” I think it pities me. The Gatling Gull screamed my name last night in my dreams. I woke up mid-dodge roll and destroyed my bedside table. I haven't blinked since the Oubliette. [b]10/10. I no longer fear death. I fear the reload timer.[/b]

I never really understood the fascination with rogue-likes. I tried multiple other rogue-likes before but none of them ever really caught me. Enter the Gungeon changed that. It’s a genuinely cool, varied game where you can just relax and play for a bit without overthinking anything. Overall, it’s a very well done game. I grabbed it for €1.47 in a sale and honestly it feels like I robbed the developers at that price. It’s easily worth the full price. Highly recommended.

The game is worth full price, I managed to rob them with my 70 cents.

This game beats the crap out of me every time I play, and yet I still keep coming back

if you like bullet hell this is for you - tons of unlocks makes this game replayable - guns are awesome

Ive already almost 100%ed the game on the switch before i bought it on pc so that i could enjoy the better graphics and FPS gain. Still one of the best games ive ever played. If you enjoy rougelikes and you dont punch your monitor for dying in a 40 minute long run, then i recommend this game.

I like it so far, killed the final boss for the first time. It's a very good rogue like, responsive and fun, the rng seems a bit limited but maybe it's because im'early in the experience. Definetly recommended if you have a rogue itch.

8/10 fun bullet hell game with lots of content, great tutorial and introduction for players as well. Old game, but still amazing. Can't wait for ETG2 in 2026

Classic bullet hell with HEAVY replay value. Will always be one of my top 10 games

Never before have I seen a game commit to a theme more than Enter the Gungeon. There is VERY little in this game that isn't related back to guns in some way, shape or form; giving this game a very polished feel, and this polish extends to its gameplay. There is no one part of this game that feels like an afterthought or filler, paired with it's uncompromising difficulty mean that you're motivated not just by the gameplay, or the promise of progression, but by the desire to see more. I can't recommend Enter the Gungeon enough. Hazard Level: More guns than your average American household

Incredible. One of the most rewarding experiences I've had playing a game. That final boss battle really makes you suffer. Simple, yet well rounded game.

Very fun! It takes some work to get the hang of everything but it's fun to unlock everything and get better every run.

Easily my favorite rogue-like game of all time, and one of my top 5 games of all time. The dodge roll mechanic takes a little bit to get used to, but once you get the rhythm of it down this game becomes a 10/10. The dodge roll, enemies, weapons, weapon synergies, different characters to unlock, the bosses, the secret levels, secret endings, and everything in-between make this game an absolute masterpiece and an absolute steal at it's $15 asking price. Let alone when it goes on sale, which it often does. I highly recommend trying this game if you haven't already.

A wonderful game! It's mechanics are fun, and the stories they give us along with these fights are filled with passion. The extras they give, like the elevator and the game modes offer a great extra time to provide a extra challenge to do after you've handled most of the main characters. Just to note, it encourages and benefits you for playing skillfully throughout the main floors. praises to the robot and living bullet.

Game is amazing. Very difficult. I wish it had permanent upgrades to character stats over time, but still a great game regardless.

Note: played and beaten over a few hundred hours on Switch. I bought it recently to test its performance on Steam Deck and also just to add to my PC library - Steam Deck performance is great, no crashes or issues. Not for the feint of heart.

this game will cost you your sanity in difficulty. But it forces you to come back again and again. 10/10 must have in steam library.

I've sunk a lot of time into this game across multiple systems. My hour count is easy double what is displayed here. This game is tough, balanced, funny, rewarding, charming, and is nothing more than a celebration of the games and media it showcases with its guns and items. Each level feels like total win as you scrape by and weave through enemy fire, all while beating one tough cookie after another. Truly one of the best rougelikes and one of my favorite games to just pick up and slam runs on. 9/10

Wicked fun shooting off demons into flying bloodied parts. The story is simple but interesting. The slayer gameplay starts off weak and too simplistic, but it gets richer and more fun within a few levels after unlocking more things. The secrets are very, very tough to spot. But it isn't that hard to find them the second time you clear the levels. Overall, very nice game to have and complete. You can reasonably get the 100% achievement blue ribbon within a week of playing, which I soon intend to do.

I love just how stylised the game is, from the bosses to the guns, it is just filled with creativity and charm. The sheer volume of items and weapons in the game keeps each run fresh and the difficulty rise per chamber goes up pretty smoothly, giving you a good feel to adapt to the learning curve of the game. I never thought bullet hell gameplay would pair up so well with a roguelike, but Enter the Gungeon really nailed it and made enemy encounters and bosses feel super dynamic, especially when you can use the environment to your advantage too. TLDR: Enter the Gungeon is a really fun game and it introduced me to Roguelikes. Even if you are a bit scared of the bullet-hell style gameplay I highly recommend trying it out. The game does a good job at slowly introducing you into the learning curve and the sheer variety of weapons, consumables and other items gives this game insane replayability value. Try to get it on sale if you can as it goes on sale pretty often

More fun to play on controller. Quite relaxing for me to play. That makes no sense but it is true.

One of the best games from this genre. If you enjoy rougelikes this one is must have. It took me almost 80 hours to get all the achievements and there is still more to unlock.

good roguelike for if you like learning and improving. fun and satifying skill curve. gets boring aafter 200 hours because youve done everything

AMAZING game. Devolver truly made something that can't be replicated. Although similar to The Binding of Isaac, this game definitely has distinct mechanics that make it very unique. It's original. It's silly. It's great. The only problem I have with this game is the multiplayer is awful. Great solo game though! 9/10

Enter the gungeon is a very hard and fun game. if your looking for a hard challenge then check this game out PLEASE. It had three big updates that made the game better!

despite having an easy-to-use invulnerability button this game still kicks my ass 10/10

Basically, a fun and casual game to play. Great to play with a video playing on a second monitor or while running songs in the background.

if you don't roll to kill tiny bloblets and rubber rounds are you even PLAYING the game???? anyway yeah incredibly fun game with high skill ceiling that makes you realize that YOU were the gun all along. that pig was a hero. this game is gustavo fring lospolloshermanos approved

This is one of if not the best rouge like games there is. If you like rouge like games, buy it. It goes on sale quite often, and there's so much to do and unlock in this game. My only complaint is that multiplayer is couch coop only, and it can be very buggy at times. But I hope that the add online multiplayer to ETG 2. Anyways, play it. 10/10 game

Fun, fair and well designed. The variety of guns keep runs fresh without the feeling of RNG being important for a successfull run. It has no meta progression stats or ascension difficulty systems which I dislike in modern roguelikes, though it has items and guns to unlock over time. Very much recommend, still a relevant roguelike after all these years.

really fun and challenging fast paced rad shooter. Love the references lol

This game is amazing, the game is fun and is even funner that I thought......

[h3] Enter the Gungeon is one of the [i]best[/i] roguelikes ever made. I consider it the pinnacle of its subgenre. It is very close to absolute perfection. 5/5 [/h3] [i] On my scale, a 5/5 game is a masterpiece. These games stay with you and invoke the strongest sense of accomplishment, mastery, and creativity. Some may change your life, while others provide a perfect gaming experience. Some of these define their genres and cast shadows everyone else dreams of escaping, while others completely transform the genre entirely or open up a whole new pathway for game development. [/i] Enter the Gungeon is amazing. Of all the twin-stick, top-down, bullet-hell roguelikes, it is undoubtedly the best. The artwork is charming without detracting from fairness, the humor and references are wonderfully integrated, and the music is wonderful without being monotonous. Sound design is crisp and cartoony and weighty and satisfying all in one go. Many roguelikes struggle to fulfill the core fantasy of “if I were good enough, I could beat this with no upgrades.” Gungeon succeeds in part by not having upgrades at all, but also because it literally [i] could [/i] be beaten with nothing but the starter pistol. Despite being a bullet hell, Gungeon is exceedingly fair. Sure some runs you get unlucky and only get dog items or guns that are functionally useless, but again, if you don’t beat the game with just the pistol then “get good” (I haven’t done this and don’t recommend you try it). Enemy attacks are almost always telegraphed clearly, and each enemy has very clear attack patterns. At a single glance, you understand what you need to do to clear the room. Enemy attacks are therefore, almost always fair. I say almost, because sometimes (e.g. that fucking cannonball mini boss) certain enemies feel undodgeable and cheap. Soldier is the undoubted noob-friendly character. Play him to start out with, and once you get used to it then you can expand to the rest. Gungeon has a wild amount of secrets. How in gods name you are supposed to figure half of them out on your own is beyond me. So here are some tips: [spoiler] That water barrel on Floor 1 has a usage. It can be used in a specific setpiece room. Don’t take the ancient armor in the Obilouette until you kill the boss. You need it for an altar on floor 2. Don’t shoot bullet kin wearing red capes. Sit with them for a bit. The floor creep that gives you money for guns will do something interesting if you give him a boss item Use bullet casings from reloading to find the secret path in the mine’s setpiece room There is a very complicated secret that involves the tutorial – I’d just look this one up [/spoiler] Everyone deserves to experience these secrets, so if you’re unsure about anything use the wiki. SPOILERS: [spoiler] The story of the game, while having no dialogue, is well woven into the gameplay. You will eventually put together what the point of the Gungeon is. When you do, make sure you pick up the special item before killing the High Dragun (Floor 5 boss). When you’ve done that, you will see a cutscene with a choice. It is up to you to make the choice that leads the character to confront their past (rather than run away). Do not, DO NOT, get to that part of the game and pick the wrong thing. Otherwise you will have “beaten” the game without beating it, and your run doesn’t count. [/spoiler] My one point of criticism is that the game should have a built-in description for the synergies you get from guns. It tells you which guns are synergizing, but it is a pain in the ass to have to search up the wiki each time you get a synergy (and you need to do this because sometimes the synergies are unintuitive). This game even has multiplayer. What more can you ask for?? [b] HOWEVER, [/b] let me take this moment to give both Dodge Roll and Devolver Digital a piece of feedback. I see what you are planning for Enter the Gungeon 2. I would like to emphasize that [i] THIS [/i] game is perfect because of visual fairness and clarity, combined with tight and charming pixel art. Whatever 3D abomination you are cooking needs to be composted.

Amazing bullet hell game with lots of secrets to find.

One of the best action roguelikes out there. It has everything you want from the genre. Gorgeous pixel art, tight controls, endless replayability and lots of guns. Get this and Binding of Isaac and you're gonna have a good time.

Flipped a table, accidentally shot it with an rpg... got hit and died right after. I love this game.

A very good game published by Devolver Digital, your tipical fun 2D rouge like, its a very good game ! with Wemod that is.

Please be careful. This game is more addictive than drugs

Amazing rougelike which has more secrets than it may let on. I was introduced to this game through high school friends, and I have found a way to play it on every gaming system I have owned. This is one of the most addictive and rewarding games I have played, but it allows me to come back and explore more builds, fight tougher enemies. The replay value of this game is amazing, and I cannot wait to play another hundred hours.

Great game, quite hard and honestly the guneplay is ironically... well it has a heavy quantity over quality feel to it. There are hundreds of guns, very few of them actually felt good to use, especially automatic guns, I commend the funny and silly ideas but I found it better to just stick to starting infinite ammo weapons, because the game makes you afraid of running out of ammo and any mistakes are results of bad movement, not the equipment you're using. I feel like the game could have pushed you further into using multiple guns and your active items, because it feels very RNG dependent if you get something that isn't situational and outside very unnecessary to utilize. But other than perhaps way too limited amount of buyable items and a bit too few characters, the game is nothing short of amazing

非常不错的肉鸽射击，操作很流畅，肉的很爽，好评，9.4分。

you can play as a bullet that uses a bullet that shoots guns that shoot bullets against a bullet that uses a gun that fires regular bullets need i say more?

I might have played for a while and never got far but I love this game, like a ton. I love how unique each character is compared to others. I also love the feeling of just a fast paced shooter, and the fact that its also related to a roguelike just makes it even better to me. Plus there are multiple characters and things you can do that make it replayable like freeing some npcs from the jail cells and the concept of unlocking items over multiple runs like the bullet to kill the past and gnawed key.

Easily the best "I have my Steam Deck and about 15 minutes" game ever. I literally did everything up to and including secret endings and I still keep coming back.

Probably my favorite game ever. Was a banger when i first beat it on my switch, still is now

Overall a fun game with a good amount of replay value. Easy to learn and hard to master.

RATING: 9 / 10 Should be considered the textbook example of a good roguelike game with amazing storylines, great replayability loops, and an overall interesting set of progression mechanics. The variety in starting characters as well as the massive options in weapons and buffs allow for a unique experience in each run. The bosses and enemies exist with unique mechanics that require increasingly more skill as you progress through the 'gungeon'. The weakest point for the game however would be the soundtrack which personally was nothing much to write home about and sometimes left me muting it and opting for my own playlists. Overall, this would be a great recommendation for those that want to experience a classic roguelite in a well-designed and implemented game.

Incredibly fun, easy to pick up, hard to master. I haven't yet 100% it. You're gonna die a lot, it took me 100 attempts to even reach the "end."
