Enter the Gungeon
Enter the Gungeon is a bullet hell dungeon crawler following a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past.
Select a hero [or team up in co-op] and battle your way to the bottom of the Gungeon by surviving a challenging and evolving series of floors filled with the dangerously adorable Gundead and fearsome Gungeon bosses armed to the teeth. Gather precious loot, discover hidden secrets, and chat with opportunistic merchants and shopkeepers to purchase powerful items to gain an edge.
The Gungeon: Enter the Gungeon – a constantly evolving bullet hell fortress that elegantly blends meticulously hand-designed rooms within a procedurally-generated labyrinth bent on destroying all that enter its walls.

An absolute masterpiece of an rogue like.
tldr at the end.
You might be like me and just think, yeah this game is probably just like binding of isaac but with guns.
But you're so so wrong. I might even go as far as to say enter the gungeon is even better than isaac.
So, what makes enter the gungeon so gud you may ask !? And worry not i got the answers !!
First off its the HUGE HUGE variety of guns and items. From a teapot, to a cactus, to a water gun
to an unfinished gun, to a pillow, to a jk47 (yes) to a gun so cool it wears a cap and rides a skateboard and says WACK or NOICE everytime you reload and much much more.
Some of them are just really hilarious and seriously cool
Then second !! This game has so much charm to it, from the enemy design, to the jokes, to the details, you will simply love it believe me.
Also there are so so sooooo many unlockables and secrets, with some beeing so rare in % you might never see them in your 100h
Thats what i personally find really really and miss in most modern games. Like who doesnt flip out if you get the rare 1.3% door boss fight or an even more rare rainbow or glitch chest or some really really rare synergy
Yes this game has synergies just like isaac
And third and my personal fav. why i absolutely fell in love with this game
As someone who loves references to movies and other games.....THIS GAME IS SO PACKED WITH THEM
I just really fu***ng love it
From movie references, metal gear jokes, memes, other game references, enter the gungeon has it.
You can feel the devs put alot of passion and love and sillyness into it
Like there even is a hecking metal gear rex rat boss followed by a punch out minigame, like come on isnt that damn cool !?!? And there even is a whole boss that is a reference to the mgs1 helicopter fight with liquid !!!!
BUT !!!!
Enter the gungeon might not be for everyone as the difficulty is actually quite high especially at the first few runs. You cant buy permanent upgrades like +health +attack and so on but you can buy better items that might appear in future runs and make your time easier
Enter the gungeon forces you to git gud, learn enemy patterns, boss patterns, watch out for traps
Even for me as a touhou pro this game is hard
Also because i forgot earlier, the bullet hell patterns (danmaku) in this game are really high quality, this is some touhou level stuff, certainly hard but not unfair !!! very creative too
TLDR, do you love a HUGE variety of guns, do you like rogue like, do you like high difficulty bullet hell, many secrets/unlockables, DO YOU LOVE REFERENCES !?!?!
Then stop reading it now and buy enter the gungeon ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

This game is really really hard for me to give a proper review on because it all 100% boils down to being skill issue on my part. This game is very hard and very unforgiving. The gameplay itself is very fun, but I personally, am not having fun with it because I am extremely bad and die to the first boss all the time. Like, I cannot stress enough, it is a skill issue for sure. I suck at this game and it makes it not fun for me, however, the game as a whole is fun.

No brainer at $1.49 on sale.
The game play is addictive and fun - the controls are snappy and there are several moves to be aware of. Of course I can never remember them, so I run around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to stay alive. If you can remember them you'll play this game far better than me, and probably enjoy it more than I do, and I already enjoy it quite a lot!
Also... I finally saw a message in the game that said "aim with your right stick", which turns the game into a twin-stick shooter and makes it so much easier to play!

perfect game to return to every few months after forgetting it for like half a year

I do definitely recommend this game, but I am either not skilled enough or not patient enough to get far in this game?
I did try and play it a few times, but at some point simply stopped playing, because I gave up. I just couldn't get through it.
I has a lot of content, many enemies, lots of weapons, lots to unlock, just how your typical roguelike works! I probably just suck at dodging in this game or something, I don't know.
You don't have to like bullet hell games to be able to pick this up! But you should at least like the roguelike genre imo.
This is a game I believe everyone should at least experience once!

A game so good I continued playing it after Silksong
Update after nearly 200 more hours: the game is still good, but the grind for the last character is ruining my life
Aother update: literally the next run was so insane that I beat the final boss in less than a minute and I'm freeee

One of the standard bearers of the action roguelike genre for good reason. Has fun progression and rewards skill play not just overpowered combinations of powerups.
They do aim to please in the GUNGEON... as long as that means you asked politely to kill a lot of baddies (at least I hope they're bad guys).
