    A very well polished game, from the execution to the little bits that some devs would not bother with.

    Amount of stuff you can 'upgrade' over as you playthrough let alone the fun and mind bogglingly variable number of collectables there - which is quite impressive.

    This game has a very good art style also, where the 8bit dungeon walls certainly seem to have alot of hours into making them look detailed and interesting, let alone the Bosses and the quirky sprits of the enemies. The Animations are very nice.

    The user controls are nice and make you feel powerful even if you're going to get pounded by a boss...

    Difficulty is pretty unforgiving , just like your usual 'roguelike'. Drops like health are rare-'as' and finding the right gear is not always a certainty. I would suggest the devs make a baby difficulty or perhaps less brutal difficulty for noobs like me - perhaps cutting half the content to make it worth while to step up the difficulty later.

    In all , this plays well and has plenty of content. It is a very polished product; though i would not find it fun enough to spend hours playing it on end, it is still a pleasure to pick up before you lose your pride...    … Expand

    A great rogue like game that is all about guns. Lots of replay value with potential new weapons and items to be unlocked in every run. Fun dodge and shoot mechanics make this game addictive.

    the difficulty of the game can be daunting at first, but the difficulty is rewarded by the bosses and new areas being fun to defeat and explore. there are ways to progress, such as making short-cuts to later zones (with disadvantages) to lessen the difficulty, or ways to enhance the difficulty for a greater challenge.

    with multiplayer, you can use a single joy-con for each person, but i recommend using two joy-cons for each, so it's more comfortable.
    and also, you can get from the game booting to playing it in barely any time, just by hitting a button.    … Expand

Reaching the end is tough, but not impossible, and becomes much less daunting once you get the hang of it, though that may be after 1-200 attempts! loads of characters, secrets, and guns to unlock.

    Enter the Gungeon is a fast paced bullet-hell game in which the player has a choice of four characters to play from, each of the four have there own unique perks which normally leaves the player favouring some more than others. Many say this game is very difficult, but it really isn't it just requires perseverance and and the grind isn't obvious at all as the game is just pure fun.

Many say this game is very difficult, but it really isn't it just requires perseverance and and the grind isn't obvious at all as the game is just pure fun.

    The game runs fantastically on switch except for very random frame drops which may freak you out, and a change of controls is definitely necessary if you actually want to beat the game. The fact that the game is offline makes it great for switch as you can take it anywhere for hours of fun and it has a two-player mode if your local friends want to join in. the music is great which helps to deal with deaths at later floors. Many say the game is repetitive but the levels are constantly changing so you will probably never get the same layout twice, and the more you play the games the more guns you get making it easier to progress to later floors.

    My only problem with the game is the huge amount of RNG required to progress well although this makes it fun most of the time, some rounds you will be stuck with the starter gun until the second floor and other rounds you will have some of the most over powered guns in the game. Also if you are worried about aiming being hard on switch don't worry the aim assist is very helpful, and as long as you are pointing in that direction the bullet will most likely hit the enemy. Overall Enter The Gungeon is really worth the buy if you up for it and will supply you with countless hours of fun for only £15 or less if you get it on sale like I did.    … Expand

The art style is great, the gameplay loop rarely gets old, there is just so much about this game that will feel great while playing. The difficulty has some big spikes sometimes, and permsdeath is a thing, but it’s still great to just pick up and play a few rounds.

    At first I struggled to get into the game, but after 3 runs I was absolutely addicted. There is always new things popping up all the time, new NPC’s, new unlockable weapons or items and 4 different playable characters.    Fast paced top down shooter with rogue-like elements.

    It's very tough, not for the people who like play "just for fun". Even though it's playable while you're listening something (i used to listen job stuff and it works). You have to learn:
    1. how to see the "diary" in the menu, to know what things to buy and what not
    2. move while shooting around the enemy
    3. how to use the little blue bomb
    after that it's just rough fun, and you can play one/two game everyday...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All of my problems can be summed up with Bullet Hell. The area makes you fight SO many overpowered enemies and ends off with a very powerful boss, THEN the game tells you to "git gud" in this toxic (and I hate to say this) Dark Souls community manner and it's at its best when you're actually fighting in a fair area, however, giving this game a 10? Nah, it just has too many dumb things in it. Is it bad? No. Is it unfair sometimes? Hell yes.… Expand

    La gran variedad de enemigos, jefes, Armas (Y sus geniales referencias) ,NPC's, tipos de habitaciones y eventos con los que te encuentras en las partidas hacen de Enter the Gungeon un juego en el que sientes un progreso mientras mas vas jugando, ninguna partida de Enter the Dungeon se siente igual a parecida a una jugada anteriormente y el gran diseño y calidad que manejan en todo momento es verdaderamente algo de reconocerse en este titulo, es una pena que tan poca gente sepa de su existencia.

    En cuanto al Port para Switch solo hay 1 pequeño problema y es que en ciertas habitaciones suele haber 1 momento donde da como lag cuando hay demasiados elementos en pantalla, si bien esto no lo hace injugable si puede llegar a ser un poco incomodo en ciertos momentos freneticos y a cortarte la adrenalina, mismo problema que espero arreglen a futuro.

    A fantastic rogue-like with solid gameplay, tons of content and game modes to unlock, and tough challenges. Yes, it is a tough game, but the slow climb up the mountain is what makes rogue like games so satisfying. If you have any interest in the genre and enjoy some goofy humor and references, I'd definitely check this one out.

    An absolute banger from start to finish. Even after 125 hours of playtime on my Switch the game has barely gotten boring to me.

    Don't buy the game if you aren't patient enough to get good with hard games, though, or you'll become as braindead as the users who gave this game a 1 or a 0. It's a roguelike bullethell, obviously it doesn't have extra lives or that many ways to ease the game. It's a tough time, but if you're ready to stick through it, I'd recommend it a lot. Great visuals with the moody lighting, nice pixel art, Cool enemy and gun designs with many easter eggs and references thrown in and with a really fun and engaging Co-Op mode, this game is a blast in every meaning of the word. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because it lacks some serious optimization when using certain guns or items or fighting against certain bosses that may drop the frames to under 20 at times, even with the speedy graphics settings on Switch.    … Expand

    Such a good rogue-like game for a switch. A lot of fans of this genre of games ask what's better Isaac or the Gungeon, in my opinion both of them are great. However, Isaac reaches its peak of greatness while playing with keyboard. Meanwhile, Gungeon is at its best while played with controller. I do play both of these games, but one on PC and the other on the Switch.

    Great pixel graphics, smooth animations, a lot of content. There is a lot to achieve while playing (a lot before me as well). It's a game that takes time to get good at it, and to unlock everything. It's cute and well designed. I hope that a lot of people who have dilemma whether to buy it or not, would take a risk to play it at its bests with controller rather than keyboard.    … Expand

    Tones of fun, but if you don't like challenging games like cuphead or old school 8-bit games you won't like it. It will take a bunch of time to learn patterns and get good enough to get through a decent run, but the game is rg so it feels new enough that it is still exciting.

    Das Spiel ist nahezu perfekt. Ich hab kaum Spiele in die ich so viel Zeit gesteckt habe und immer wieder Spiele. Schöner und prügelharter Rogue-like Twinstickshooter mit einer wahnsinnig witzigen Story. Trotz des sehr hohen schwierigkeitsgrades, gibt es kaum was, das man nicht mit etwas übung schaffen kann.

    Amazing OST. Amazing sprites. Amazing gameplay. I love the little bullet kins.

    But I suck at it and there's no difficulty options. Still fun regardless though.

    This game is very good and the gun play feels amazing. The only problem i have with it is that its WAY to hard which is the point but i think there should be a EXTREMELY EASY difficulty.

    Enter the Gungeon can be brutal. However, you’ll find yourself laughing at its quirky dialogue and obviously ridiculous weapons, and you’ll dust yourself off and jump back in. And each time, you get a little bit better, get a little bit farther, discover a secret area on the map, and prepare to die — just one more time.

    Games as good as Enter the Gungeon don’t come along very often. There’s so much to discover here that you’ll be playing this game for a long time. And you’ll still come back even after you see everything. Gungeon is the pinnacle of rogue-like design.

    Enter the Gungeon was a super-fun game back in 2016 and now, it's even better. So, if you still haven't played it and you have a fondness for roguelike twin-stick shooters, picking up a copy of this delightful package is a must. [Physical Edition]
