Enter the Gungeon - Pull the trigger in this world full of weapons

Welcome to the Gungeon

Imagine being in a world where everything is either a weapon or a bullet. Your health hearts are red bullet casings, enemies are bullets that wield and even fire weapons. Sounds pretty crazy, right? That's exactly what Enter The Gungeon is, a roguelike game that has established itself as one of the best dungeon crawlers and roguelikes in recent years.

The Concept of Enter The Gungeon

You have ventured into the five-floor Gungeon, always in search of wealth and glory. Each floor presents you with a constantly changing layout of loot, enemies, and rooms. And the best part? Every weapon you unlock is a variation of a weapon with many references to other video games and pop culture.

Game Mechanics and Gameplay

Enter The Gungeon heavily relies on dodge rolling and offers a plethora of projectiles that can rival most bullet hell games. If you've never played a bullet hell game before, get ready for a steep learning curve! But don't worry - that's exactly what makes the appeal of a roguelike game.

Free Updates and New Features

One of the highlights of Enter The Gungeon is the numerous free updates since its release in 2016. They have added new player characters, non-player characters (NPCs), bosses, floors for the Gungeon, and enemies. And of course, not to forget - many new weapons. All these new contents have been integrated into the game in a way that Enter The Gungeon still feels like a complete game - despite all the downloadable contents (DLCs).

Comparisons with Other Popular Games

If you enjoyed games like Hades; if you like the visual style of Dead Cells; or if you love the dungeon crawling in The Binding of Isaac; then you will likely also love Enter The Gungeon.
