You could have one good run, but because you didn’t time your dodge roll just right, you end up dead. Now, I really have only one complaint against the game, and that’s the fact that it can be super frustrating to new players.
The game just has structure to it, rather than being an incremental Rogue-like that lacks any and all focus. It might make people set their objectives towards killing as many Bulletmen as they can, or even try to find secret areas, such as the secret levels of the Gungeon. With the added incentive of new items, it really helps give the player more focus, even if they get bored of just trying to make it to the last level of the Gungeon. This helps give some direction to your runs, which is something that lacks in other Rogue-like titles. You might not run into the new content for a while, but it is almost guaranteed that you will hit the first few items before you meet the second NPC – one who will open up building shortcuts to skip levels of the Gungeon, so as to help the player skip through to the latter parts of a run.Įvery NPC in the game has a use, usually offering a quest line that will help you unlock more guns and items to discover on your next runs through the Gungeon. The first NPC you unlock is the requisitions department in The Breach, the home world that you start out in, and they allow you to spend currency you get from killing bosses to unlock new weapons and passive items in the Gungeon. You slowly unlock new NPCs who will let you buy exclusive items which, if you’re lucky, will just catapult you into new depths. Much of that is because Enter The Gungeon introduces content in a trickle. That said, it is surprisingly refreshing to play something so difficult, but to actually visibly improve and become pretty decent overall. At times it has really felt like I’ve been playing a Dark Souls game that resets whenever I died. Until at least you hit another progression wall. But should you manage to calm down and give it another go, learning from any previous mistakes, you’ll probably find that the game isn’t really that hard. So much so that I needed to quit out for a little bit after my first fifteen runs – just so I could preserve my sanity. It might just be me, but Gungeon is deceptively difficult. And making it very far could well be a tough ask. Those things just make it enjoyable to boot up the game and think that you are going to have a fun, new experience, even if you don’t make it very far. It’s very much the opposite of Binding of Isaac, sporting bright colors and weapons like a barrel that shoots fish. That’s another thing I have praise for in this game the atmosphere of everything. It really makes you feel like you’re having a massive shootout in this Gungeon, and it helps set the goofy atmosphere brilliantly. My favourite visual detail belongs to whenever small things are destroyed, like shooting a book out of a bookshelf, and then having some of the pages spin out of it. That being said, the overall design of the bosses, and the small animations that are found throughout the game, surely make up for any issue encountered with the Ammonomicon. It’s not a big deal, it just makes me visit the official wiki more often than I’d expect. It’s just a tad too difficult to read sometimes, and I think it might have to do with the paper design of the Ammonomicon – the in-game Bestiary of sorts, which allows you to read up on enemies and items that you will have acquired through your runs. The only complaint I’d have for the graphics pertains to the font on the menu screen in-game. The character design really works well with the overall aesthetics of the game, allowing the bit-style visuals to really shine through. The 9mm Gundead will use anything from pistols to rifles, and they might be wearing bandanas which will be marked if they are full-auto enemies. The Shell Gundead will use shotguns, and their color will differentiate their levels of skill for the player. The enemies vary in size and weapons, but they are usually using the weapon that their calibre describes. But, before you make it to the boss, you’ll have to fight off countless amounts of Gundead, or those sentient bullets I mentioned earlier. Each layer ends in a random boss – the first floor being a decent introduction to the game – with each boss getting progressively harder as you descend your way into the Gungeon.
