For something called Enter the Gungeon, you’d expect to be up to your knees in firearm options, but I can’t even begin to estimate how many times I’d clear an entire level, opening 2 or more chests, and still never see a new gun. It didn’t take long for the perpetual hunt for loot to become my single biggest grievance against the game there just aren’t enough guns. Most chests are locked, though, so keys are crucial, since destroying the chest only occasionally results in anything of value. The “Beholster,” for example is a run-of-the-mill beholder using guns instead of spells.Īs you explore, you’ll find chests scattered around, which can provide the loot you’ll need to push further. Enemies that don’t look like bullets are still bullet-related in some capacity. Also, the laser sights are kind of hard to miss. Snipers are identifiable because of their pointier heads, typical of sniper rounds. It follows that the 9mm looking enemy uses a pistol. You’ll fight red-topped cylindrical enemies that look like a shotgun shell and shoot, as you may expect, shotgun blasts at you. The majority of the enemies you’ll face are themselves gun-related. The gimmick in Gungeon isn’t just the ridiculous number of guns available in the game, though that is definitely a sub-gimmick to be proud of. Full disclosure: I’m particularly fond of a good gimmick. All else aside, Gungeon is a fairly standard top-down twin-stick shooter with an awesome gimmick and a flair for the comedic. You don’t get to keep that Unicorn Gun you died with, but you can purchase unlocks for all your future runs with a special currency. Gungeon is standard fare for the lite side of roguelikes, with most progress resetting each time you die, but offering significant options for permanent progression. As you might expect, guns and their accoutrements are a common theme. The legends say there is a gun that can kill the past, and you must explore the deepest and most dangerous depths to learn the mysteries and claim your prize. The premise of Enter the Gungeon is that you are one of a small group of people with troubled histories who are pursuing a legendary gun in the world’s most dangerous dungeon, The Gungeon. It has now evolved into its final form, and it’s a doozy. It put up a great show at E3 2015 with a first look at the co-op mode, which was so good, we gave it a We Love it Award. We’ve been paying attention to Dodge Roll’s quirky twin stick rogue-lite Enter the Gungeon for some time.
