    Enter The Gungeon is nigh-on perfect. The hits are fine, the gunplay is wonderful, the animation and designs are fantastic, and it really needs to be picked up and played by anybody who isn’t looking for something really casual.

    With an awesome action rogue like gameplay and a lot of content and secrets to discover, Enter The Gungeon is one of the most successful games published by Devolver Digital.

    If you enjoyed any other bullet hell rogue-likes, particularly Nuclear Throne or Binding of Isaac, I can’t recommend Enter the Gungeon enough. It has a few elements that some would consider design flaws, but these are easy to overlook when you step back and look at the whole picture and what is really being offered her: mayhem on a silver platter.

    Enter the Gungeon is a roguelike game that works for players who usually find the genre frustrating. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and while it might be long after the PC/PS4 release, Xbox One owners finally have a chance to see what the fuss is about. Don’t sleep on this game, it mixes the old with the new for a quality package worth shelling out the bullets for.

    This is a case of The Binding of Isaac meets Dark Souls. For the determination put on making it and to make us enjoy it, for the jokes and constant references, in short, for the exciting time we face fighting and discovering we should, at least, celebrate with a drink that Enter the Gungeon has arrived to Xbox.

    Overall, Enter the Gungeon was worth the wait for Xbox One owners. The title is a lot of fun and remains that way despite the challenge it poses. If you love games like Rogue Legacy and Crypt of the Necrodancer, then this is the game for you. However, if you’re new to the roguelike genre, this is also a great starting point which will teach you well.

    A year ago on PlayStation 4 this was a surprise hit. The simple but thought-through concept still works, though and makes this exhilarating cocktail of dungeon crawler, dualstick-action and bullet hell blast.

    Do not waste you ammo on Enter the Gungeon, because hundreds of enemies will cross your path through endless dungeons. With an original aesthetic pixel art, equip yourself with your best weapons to face a frenetic and addictive game rhythm in which the fun is guaranteed.

    A successful mix of twin-stick shooter, bullet hell and roguelike, funny and challenging, but lacking enough uniqueness to not feel like something any lover of these genres already played thousands of times.

    Enter the Gungeon's excellent concept gets bogged down by serious performance issues. There is a lot to like here: the armory of unique and fun weapons and items, a variety of objectives to work toward, and convenient features like teleportation, automatic money collection, and the ability to reload while dive rolling. Every run can be worthwhile, which is a good feeling in a genre that is often so punishing. Unfortunately, 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.

    Despite playing for hours on end I never got particularly good at Enter the Gungeon, but that doesn't mean I didn't thoroughly enjoy my time with it. It's great as a top-down shooter, even if it's just average as a roguelike. Pairing the frustration of bullet hell with the frustration of a random number generator doesn't always yield results, but when the stars align there's just something magical about it.

There areThis game is a must play if you like the rogue like genre. The controls are very responsive. The game really shines in it's guns. There are well over 100+ guns and items. Most of them are puns or a reference. The enemies are varied enough that it doesn't get repetitive. Bosses are always a joy to fight. The one complaint I have is challenge mode is a bit unbalanced right now. But overall the game is one of my favorite games so far this year. I have already enjoyed it for over 200+ hours and will continue to do so for awhile.… Full Review »
