Its a Kind of dungeon crawler with rogue like elements, but you can also find/buy some permanent Upgrades and other nice things that help you conquer the "gungeon" - Highlights are of course the insane amount of weapons (which are unique, crazy, and mostly always fun to Play with) and also the Boss fights, which can be the Definition of "Bullet Hell" - theres also a Couch Coop Mode, which cant be online though. It may get repetitive at some Point, and the randomly generated structure can get you into nearly impossible/unfair situations - but compared to the Overall Quality this is something you can easily Forget. I give this game an 8 simply because its so well made and crafted with Passion and love for the Detail - one of the best Indie Games Ive ever played.… Expand

    One of the most fun indie games of all time. I played it for more than 30 hours and loved it. Beautiful characters and a addicting gameplay make this game a excellent opportunity to have a good time alone or with friends. Buy it and support this company:They deserve it.

    I truly love this game, it has a certain charm that other games of this sort lack. I love the inclusion of local co-op, but my biggest complaint is no online multiplayer. While certainly a daunting task to engineer from an indy developer, it would absolutely be 100% worth it.    … Expand

    This is an excellent twin stick shooter rogue game. If you love Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne don't hesitate to pick this one up.

    This game is good old fun.
    The co-op is really fun with a partner too, lots of laughs. This is one of those few games my girlfriend and me enjoy playing together. Shes not a gamer so its nice to come across a game that is easy to jump into, but hard enough to keep playing.
    Absolutely would recommend it to any one like binding of issac and nuclear throne.

    The roguelike genre is getting pretty crowded in the indie games space. This game rises above as one of the best ever made. Lots of replayability. Runs fine on PS4.

The developers continued to pump so many guns and items into this game to the point of absurdity. The amount of synergies and interactions present is jaw dropping and really makes you want to play one more run to see if you can make a game breaking build and demolish every boss and enemy along the way. This game gives you what you put into it and more if you commit to learning the basics of survival. I don't mean to say git gud to anyone, but it is so worth it. Also if you don't like the inconsistency of items, you can always turn on rainbow mode and pick a high tier item every floor.… Expand

    The game is basically a mix of the binding of Isaac, and nuclear throne. You clear rooms of enemies, pick up new guns and items, and keep doing so until you've won.

    Even though being a great roguelike with lots of guns and items and featuring tons of bigs challenges, Enter The Gungeon sometimes lacks of balance, and can become way too difficult at some points. Still great.

    Su estilo Pixel Art es precioso, su jugabilidad y manejo son buenos y precisos, el juego no es para nada injusto como podeis ver en otros comentarios, es exigente, dificil y castiga los errores y sobretodo el exceso de confianza cuando ves que vas bien equipado y llevas rato sin recibir daño.

    Very good rogue-like game, but the difficulty is brutal. This game is a lot harder than Risk of Rain or Binding of Isaac. Also, gold is really scarce, don't expect to find it easily. Coop mode is disappointing as the 2nd player can only pick "The mystic" instead of one of the regular characters.

    Still I often come back to this game because it is fun and well made and I love challenging games.

    After a ton of hours and finally have beaten the past with one char I wanted to review this incredibly fun pixel art roguelite indie game.
    The enormous amount of different weapons that requires different combat styles combined with the randomness of the "gungeons" plus the bosses and weird hidden characters makes one of the best roguelite games since Binding of isaac.

    It can also be played on coop couch potato what adds even more fun to the mix.
    As a negative aspect the item/munition drop rate and it's quality could be really unfair destroying a lot of potentially good runs and dooming your poor char to an unavoidable death.
    It has also an almost endless content, specially the version with all DLCs.
    If you give it an opportunity you will end suffering the "only one last run more" syndrome and visiting the wiki a lot.    … Expand

    A very fun rougelite dungeon crawler. I love the style of the game from the wacky guns and enemies to the underrated music. Pretty hard but fair ( with the exception of the sixth chamber ) and the combat is good but i wish the characters had more distinct playstyles.

    The game is fun, challenging and great satisfaction when platinum....it is a rogue like that gives you lots of things to do such as passing it with every character or saving characters that in return will give you additional perks. Overall, a really good game that makes the player invested.

    Fast paced replayable roguelike fun. Dashing around dodging bullets letting loose whatever you can find, trying to increase the catalogue, its all a tone of fun, i definitely recommend for some good casual fun.

You can tell how much of a passion project Enter the Gungeon is. There's so many options, so much replayability, subtle story telling, everything just makes you want to constantly do more runs inside the Gungeon. My personal favorite part is just how many things there are in the game to increase replayability. Building the bullet to kill the past, specialized runs like rainbow mode runs, boss rush mode, challenge mode, secret chambers on top of the original five chambers, there is just so much potential to play this game for a long time. I love it when games give me a reason to keep playing, and Gungeon is filled with content where you can always have some goal to achieve when you jump into the game.

    I can't sing more praise of this game, as it is my personal favorite. If you love bullet hell style games, please give Enter the Gungeon a try.    … Expand
