Eventually, what I had learned was enough for me to get through what I had been struggling with. With each death, I learned a little bit more. I spent quite a while just trying to get through the first floor, and there were times when I didn’t even think that that was going to happen. With nothing more than the ability to dodge roll and flip tables, and a handful of blanks (single-use explosives that cancel out all enemy bullets) per floor, you are the only thing that’s going to keep you alive. It’s the critical need for skill-based survivability that makes Enter the Gungeon so hard.

And, since this game doesn’t hold your hand (if anything, it smacks your hand away whenever you reach out for help), you’ve got to learn how learn how to be light on your feet all on your own. The Gungeon may be built out of bullets, but your survival is built upon your own ability to dodge enemy attacks.

You won’t get very far if you run into each room at full force, guns blazing. You see, Enter the Gungeon isn’t just a top-down, roguelike shooter.
But what, exactly, makes it so great? What helps it stand out from the crowd? Well, bullets! Like, a lot of bullets.
I’ve already expressed how great of a game I think Enter the Gungeon is. With plenty of practice (and a cool gun that shoots skulls), you’ll become an expert Gungeoneer in no time! Enter the Gungeon takes a very serious topic - regret - and puts the most ridiculous spin possible on it. Sure, I doubt that most of us would go as far as the people in this game would, but I’m confident that were many of you reading this given the chance to fix a past mistake, you’d do it. As goofy as the game’s premise is (and it’s even goofier if you’re viewing everything firsthand), the concept of regretting the past isn’t something foreign to most of us. And yet, I can’t totally get myself to make fun of it. The concept of a gun capable of killing the past is silly, as is venturing into a dungeon made of guns and bullets. For the most part, it’s entirely ridiculous. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more amusing this game’s story is. And it’s that very gun that these four adventurers are after, so that they might finally put their own pasts to rest. It is said that, sleeping deep within the depths of the Gungeon, there is a gun capable of killing the past. Essentially, the game follows a group of four characters - each of whom are haunted by their past - who have traveled to a distant planet which houses a gun and bullet-filled dungeon known as the “Gungeon”. Would you be surprised if I told you that Enter the Gungeon features a story that’s just as over-the-top as the rest of the game? Hopefully not, because it certainly does. I’m not sure whether to laugh at or be terrified by this concept. If that isn’t the mark of a good game, then I’m not really sure what is. It’s difficult - frustratingly so, even - but there’s so much satisfaction in getting better at it. But that’s what makes this game so much fun. I made the mistake of thinking that my previous experience with other games in this genre would give me an edge. Regardless of what games you may have played in the past, I can almost guarantee that you’re going to have to work your way from the ground up with this game. It’s clever, it’s creative, it’s fun, and it’s an absolute mess to get through (in the best possible way). If you’ll excuse me for sounding cheesy, Enter the Gungeon is a shining example of both the beauty and the brutality of roguelikes. But I finally got the chance to play it. And, now that I have, I can tell you that it was absolutely worth the wait. Yes, I’ve been waiting a long time to dive into Enter the Gungeon. I would see something about it, think to myself “oh, I need to play that soon!”, and would ultimately get side-tracked (although not necessarily intentionally) by something else. Unfortunately, it managed to slip away from me every time. Enter the Gungeon was one of those games that I had been meaning to play. As someone who fell in love with top-down rougelikes after the advent of The Binding of Issaac, I’m always down to play a game like this one whenever I get the chance.
