    It's a well-crafted roguelike game. Even after playing for a long time, you can continue to have enjoyable experiences.

    Güzel müzik, güzel vuruş hisi, böyle oyunlar için iyi bir hikaye, iyi pixel türüş oyun zor ama bi süre sonra
    alışıyorsunuz gerçekten iyi bir oyun. oyunun tek sıkıntısı roguelike temasına uymaması yenıden başlayınca sadece silah alabilmemiz çok saçma en azından para ile karakterimizi geliştirsek daah güzel
    oyun.

    This game is very good, however, it tries very hard to be more difficult and less fun than it is, especially with the random elements.

    While the enemy patterns and boss fights are pretty much skill based, your experience each run varies WIDELY based on the items you get. Some items are great, some are just fine and the vast majority are borderline useless and unfun. I cannot express enough how much more fun rainbow runs are, because you can get some cool weapons and items and just experience more of what the game has to offer you. A lot of the time in regular runs I realized I just wasn't having fun because I'd take a lot more time to clear floors and bosses because I had to use the default weapon, or some terrible item and gun and run out of ammo for it. The ammount of times I'd restart a run on floor one/two because I got 3 D-C quality weapons in a row is more than I can remember.
    This is not to mention a bunch of hidden mechanics and item descriptions and synergies left intentionally vague that will just result in you opening a wiki to see what it does. We are not on the SNES days anymore where these things would have to be figured out through repeated playthroughs and discussions with other players, there is not much reason to not have these things explained in game on a menu.
    I kinda wanted to give a lower score, but since I've played so much there is definitely something engaging and fun to this game. It just tries really hard to not let you experience it.    … Expand

    TL;DR: Fun, hilarious, and cute. If you have had an iota of fun with a twin stick shooter or want to try one for the first time, GET THIS GAME.

    DISCLAIMER: Got this game free on Epic Games.

    I had seen this game from afar, never committed to buying it. I'd never even enjoyed a twin-stick shooter before. I don't think this has changed my opinion on the genre, but I LOVE this game.

    Everything in this game is stylized to the max, with every enemy being a gun reference. The enemies are bullets that hold guns that shoot bullets, and your job is to shoot bullets at the bullets while dodging their bullets while not taking contact damage from the gun-weilding bullets. Sometimes your bullets are actually fish. Sometimes your gun has a mermaid tail. Sometimes it's a reference to a unique gun from some other media, like Halo or Hyper Light Drifter or Judge Dredd. And sometimes your gun is a bullet that shoots guns that shoots more bullets, so you can shoot guns full of bullets at the gun-weilding bullets.

    The bosses are hysterically named and genuinely difficult to fight. There's a gorGUN, or AMMOconda or a king bullet stitting on his flying throne of guns.

    There is so much to unlock in this game. Besides your 4 starting characters, there are 4 more unlockable characters. There's an actual story in here worth digging for. There's like 4 different extra modifiers for different ways to play, like a Turbo mode that speeds everything up or a challenge mode that adds a random challenge to every room and boss.

    The one and only beef I have with this game is that some of the quests you have to do to unlock everything can get a little tedious. And that's a small beef for something that a player not interested in unlocking EVERYTHING will not even endure. The fact that I could get some 40 hours of gameplay in what is essentially a roguelike with a small fixed number of floors before finding something tedious is a testament to how fun this game as a whole is. I've unlocked everything and I still play this regularly just for fun.    … Expand

    This is the hardest game i've ever played. And it feld very good mastering and beating the final boss (glitched lich). I like pretty much everything about it style, variety, "rpg elements" (unlocks), story, Its perfect if you are into hard games.

I still think very fondly of some of my runs where I would finally push through an obstacle that seemed impossible to me before, and really made me appreciate games that are challenging. The combat is so simple yet so difficult, but also really addictive. The game has a brilliant way of making every run different by having a pool of different boss battles you can get at the end of each chamber, something that keeps the game fresher than other rogues out there (looking at you Hades).

    There is also a lot of humor in this game. Some of the item descriptions are genuinely hilarious and some gameplay mechanics or weapons just make you smile, although you sometimes feel like you are being trolled by the developers.

    The sad thing is that some of that difficulty is contributed to just dumb luck with which weapons you get from chests so often when I did good I felt more lucky than a better player. Still this game is addictive as hell and a very good bang for your buck, you just need to be really patient with it. Also the music can get really on your nerves after a while, so maybe turn the music off and pop a playlist on that you can wiggle your fingers to.    … Expand

    I bought this before it had add-ons, and the difference between it's launch and final versions is absolutely massive. I honestly don't remember some of the issues the game used to have anymore. But what's here now is an immensely addictive game with a stupid (good) amount of replay value.

    What's here:
    - Over 200 different guns that mostly function vastly differently. At least 100 active and passive items. Passive items are usually more important, but active items can completely change an outcome when used properly.
    - Synergies. SO MANY SYNERGIES. HUNDREDS OF SYNERGIES. LITERALLY EVERY POSSIBLE PUN AND REFERENCE YOU COULD EVER THINK OF IS A SYNERGY.
    A perfect example: There's a gun called a Barrel. You can shoot fish out of it. "Shooting fish in a barrel," right? Well the synergy is literally a fish chilling in the barrel with it's own gun, shooting. So it's still "shooting fish in a barrel." THE PUN PLAY IS ON POINT, B. This game just gets me.
    * Even without synergies, some abilities work amazingly in conjunction with each other, leading to different playstyles in different playthroughs.
    - Unlockable playable characters. The final character you unlock automatically activates every synergy on every gun, which turns some weapons that were originally just okay into absolutely essential, potentially total overkill.
    - Unlockable game modes, including Challenge Mode (adds random handicaps to every room), Random Gun Mode, Rainbow Chest mode (gives you one high-quality gun or item at the start of every floor), and Fast Mode (always on for me).
    - Hidden floors. What was initially 5 floors with a 6th bonus floor is now potentially 10 floors, if you handle yourself well enough.
    - Randomly generated dungeons with the occasional curve-ball thrown in. I had no clue what a glitched chest was until I'd already died over 200 times. The Black Market is always exciting to find. Also, Sir Junken was a pleasant surprise! Of which there are many throughout this game.
    - Overall, a fair level of difficulty. Once it really sinks in that you're invincible for half a second during your dodge roll, you should be able to make it through with just about any weapon. My only complaint at this point is that I can't unlock a mode with twice as many enemies, since I already got the platinum trophy, every unlockable, and still occasionally get an itch to play this.

    Only major downsides I can note off the top of my head are repetition, and a small number of guns and items aren't really worth it, which is inevitable with so many options. I almost always die when I pick up the red scarf. The special, nail gun, and pea shooter are pretty atrocious, even synergized.

    Def recommend if you're looking for a fun, addicting time-waster.
    Sometimes I go to games like this if I'm listening to something but still want to play a game. (Soundtrack isn't essential. Main theme makes me chuckle, though.)    … Expand

I've spent more than 20 DAYS playing Enter the Gungeon and mastering it was a very satisfying experience, thanks to is high skill ceiling, his complex resources and items balancing component and its addicting gameplay.

    My only complaint is that one particular boss, perhaps the hardest in the entire game, has a face that has nothing to do with the rest of the game. It's a fun minigame, but it's at the end of the boss fight and you have never done it before. Reaching the boss fight requires a lot of grinding, so it does feel really unfair. This, in my opinion, prevents it from getting a perfect score.    … Expand

    Enter the Gungeon is a rogue-like shooter that pushes both experienced and inexperienced gamers into an environment that test their abilities and put their skill as a player to the test.

The game is set on one fixed difficulty which makes it more likely for every player to have consistent experience, and lowers the odds of the player getting a run that’s incredibly easy or incredibly hard. Enter the Gungeon challenges its players to either get good fast or die even faster; after each and every defeat the player’s skill slightly increases which lets them get better and better until they finally beat the first of the five chambers. (The game continuously ramps up the difficulty more and more until they get to the last chamber). The game repeats the same core concepts such as clearing each room, finding the boss, and killing each boss to go to the next chamber; in order to prevent the game of getting repetitive the developers gave each chamber their own unique enemies, room-layouts, secrets, and bosses, to apply a fresh coat of paint on their core concepts. The developers also give players access to a massive plethora of guns and items that would give the players a new way of interacting with the game each and every time they go into a new run. Unfortunately this still means player’s run is still influenced by luck and if the player gets a powerful weapon right at the start then they can have an easier run with their overpowered weapon being their main source of power instead of their skill and time dedicated to the game. The gameplay consists of throwing the player into rooms upon rooms of enemies where their only chance of survival is dependent on how quick they can kill the enemy and how quick they are to evade the onslaught of bullets that are hurling towards them. When starting off, the player may choose between one of the 4 main characters, although each character has their own unique weapons and items, their style of play stays consistent between all of them. When the enemies are shooting bullets towards the player, their main methods of evading are by moving in between the cracks of their bullets with precise movements, dodge rolling through them in one direction, and using a one of two blanks that clear every bullet in a single room. If the player is unable to evade enough attacks and gets killed, they must restart the entire run regardless of how far they got previously. The game makes up for it’s insane difficultly with its goofy and childlike visual style; the entirety of the game revolves around guns and bullets with most the enemies relating to bullets in some shape or form. The game’s visual style is also supported by its own original and catchy sound track; the soundtrack for this game never gets annoying and each song builds up the game’s suspense and hype to give something for the player to enjoy while they are stuck in an environment that does it’s best to halt the player from reaching the end goal. The game’s atmosphere and mood are made less repetitive and more lively because of each and every NPC that the player can find while scouring around each chamber. The NPCs that are saved by the player usually hang out in the main hub of the game called “The Breach” and it’s there where the player selects a character, starts and ends the tutorial, and prepares to enter the Gungeon. Each NPC can do certain things, when given currency obtained form bosses called “credits”, such as sell items and guns that can appear in the player’s later runs, and enhance the game by adding new elements like double speed or randomized weapons and so on. At first glance the NPCs may not seem all that interesting, but their importance isn’t found in what they can do, but instead it’s found in how they do it. Take for example the two merchants Toroc and Professor Goopton. Professor Goopton is seen as a floating alien and when talked to speaks in a different language that is unknown to the player and sells items that are monster like such as the “Abyssal Tentacle”, “Monster Blood” and “Bug Boots”. Toroc is first seen by the player as a goblin that spends his time smoking cigarettes in the back of a military truck and sells items and guns that only relate war such as the AWP, M16, and a Lazer Sight. The small changes of personality and dialogue differentiate each NPC from another and therefore helped turn the tone and atmosphere from being a repetitive quest to beat the game, into a tale of a man wanting to test his luck and enter the Gungeon. Over all I would say that Enter the Gungeon is an excellent game and is worth a purchase.… Expand
