Enter the Gungeon Reviews
Enter the Gungeon is unrelentingly tough. This wouldn't be so bad if it had a nice difficulty curve to ease players in, but it's all over the place
Enter the Gungeon is a fun action game that is sure to satisfy bullet hell enthusiasts and those of you who love twitch shooters.
The poor performance hinders the core gameplay too much for the Xbox One edition to be anything more than the worst version of an otherwise great game.
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.
An interesting and fun roguelike, albeit one which doesn't capitalise on its potential.
Enter the Gungeon is a challenging roguelike with awesome ideas that often contradict one another.
I love action movies. Not all of them, but the good action movies. Those that are simple, but intense; hat have so much charisma that one manages to connect within a few minutes of seeing them. And it's weird, because one would expect the same to be said about those games labeled as "action": those centered on spectacle, in taking us to past wars, future wars and other less important wars. Nonetheless, that hasn't happened to me in some time. In fact, the only that those famous titles have to show are... weapons.

But enough small talk — you have a past to chase, explorer. We'll see you in the Gungeon.
Enter The Gungeon is the first game that I can firmly say I am addicted to. It is always different, exciting and makes me want to continuously push myself to get good to see everything that the Gungeon has to offer.
Enter the Gungeon is a good shooter that underdelivers on its promise. It's still fun, but there are better examples of the genre.
In the end, Enter the Gungeon boasts gameplay that hardcore gamers will flip their lids over.
Enter The Gungeon is an excellent example of a what a twin stick shooter should be and of a port done right. Its soundtrack and cool visuals are underpinned by an excellent control system and depth that keep you hooked.
One third bullet hell, one third shoot 'em up, and one third roguelike, Enter the Gungeon is a magnificent blend of three genres that go together impressively well. The wide variety of guns keeps each playthrough feeling fresh, regardless of the character chosen, and the diverse enemy design is sure to keep players on their toes as they force their way through the Gungeon. There are some issues that rise from the randomness of it all, par for the course for a roguelike, but the fluid gameplay, massive weapon cache, and bullet-heavy atmosphere make Enter the Gungeon one incredibly endearing experience.
If you're a fan of shooters and relish the challenge, Enter the Gungeon is absolutely at the top of its genre.
Enter the Gungeon is the game that keeps on giving.
The game looks great with its fantastic pixel art and also has a soundtrack that makes the game sound just as cool as it looks. If you are into puns and twin-stick shooters then Enter the Gungeon is probably for you. The game also features a co-op mode so if you aren’t into getting beat on alone you can bring a friend along for the bullet storm ride.

It won't have the most innovative gameplay, but Enter the Gungeon is entertaining and inspired. Mixing the mechanics of Nuclear Throne with some "bullet hell" action, it delivers a solid roguelike experience, with a ton of unconventional weapons to have fun with.

Enter the Gungeon is a terrific roguelike shooter whose sense of humour and exacting design make for tricky bullet-slaying fun both alone or with a friend.
Enter the Gungeon is another in a long line of fantastic roguelikes. Its razor sharp twin-stick gunplay, huge variety of passive and active weapons, and clever world building make it an absolute joy to sink countless hours into. The lack of leaderboards or a daily run mode is a frustrating oversight, but you'll be too busy running, gunning, and dodge-rolling your way through its many caverns to notice or care.
