Inevitably, this always happens at the least opportune moment. This lottery means that there are times the player will be stuck with a high damage, low fire rate weapon. However, the blessing mechanic removes the element of choice from the player and instead, guns randomly swap out after a set period of time. Some of these are amusing and really fun to use. Exit the Gungeon prides itself on having a variety of creative and eclectic guns – there are bubble guns, grapple guns, banana guns, and regular guns. Loadout lottery.Įxit the Gungeon has another major flaw – its gun blessing mechanic. It took a little while to adjust to, and simply does not feel intuitive.
This makes manoeuvring far more cumbersome than it needs to be – with the game’s emphasis on moving, jumping and dodging, it’s difficult to understand why developer Dodge Roll made this choice. For some inexplicable reason, Enter the Gungeon has a ‘fire’ button (which needs to be held down for auto-fire), rather than simply operating as a twin stick shooter. It simply doesn’t work well for a shmup – or even a shmup-lite. The biggest cause of this awkwardness is, in this reviewer’s opinion, the control scheme. Enter the Gungeon makes this needlessly frustrating, and this isn’t due to its restrictive spacing. SimultaneousShooting and moving (and dodging, in this game) is a staple of any bullet hell game. Unfortunately, as soon as the player exits the tutorial and enters the gungeon in order to exit the gungeon again, the charm starts to wear off. The pixel art style is smooth and colourful. The dialogue for the tutorial level is genuinely amusing and the comedic writing doesn’t feel too forced or cheesy. Enter the Gungeon has a certain style and humorous charm. Whilst it’s far from a pure shmup, Exit the Gungeon attempts to stand out from the crowd by virtue of its gun-randomiser ‘blessing’ mechanic. With no time to go back the way they came, the Gungeoneers must fight to ascend the Gungeon and escape with their lives, while fighting off the very last of the Gundead and embittered bosses returning for their revenge, as well as some new ones.įor game support, see the official reddit or Discord.Exit the Gungeon, a spin-off that follows in the wake of 2016’s Enter the Gungeon, presents itself as a bright, whimsical game that is part dungeon-climber, part bullet hell. Unfortunately, this created a fractured timeline, and now the Gungeon has become a paradox, and begins to crumble. Having succeeded in his mission, the Gunslinger killed his future self, the Lich, and rewrote history, causing the Gungeon to never form. Plot Įxit the Gungeon takes place immediately after the events of the Gunslinger's past. Everybody loves hats, and spin-offs, which this game is. Shifting rooms, enemies, bosses, bizarre weapons and items all combine to ensure that no two attempts to Exit the Gungeon are the same.Īlso, you can wear hats.
Battle against the last and most bitter of the Gundead at a frantic pace, slowing down just long enough to chat with some familiar faces… and a few new ones. The Gungeon has become a paradox and is collapsing! Armed with an ever-changing weapon, an insatiable need to loot, and the trusty dodge roll, each of our heroes must ascend and escape via their own unique route of increasingly perilous elevators. In contrast to Enter the Gungeon's top-down perspective, Exit the Gungeon is a sidescrolling platformer.Įxit the Gungeon is a bullet hell dungeon climber immediately following the adventures of the misfit ‘Gungeoneers’ and their journey for personal absolution in Enter the Gungeon.
