Enter The Gungeon |OT| Praise the gun
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
Just did three play-throughs with my brother, who knew nothing about this game except what I told him about it from PAX South.
He loved it. We made it to the third level in one of our play-throughs.
The final version of this game is definitely delivering. I love the large variety of enemies. There were some I hadn't even seen while I was playing it at PAX.
Also, took a look at the list of guns available... Wow. They made a LOT of guns.

Bosses are random I think, I've had different first level bosses on each playthrough.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
God dammit dude just buy it. Did Alexander the Great complain he conquered too many countries? NO! He kept buying more video games!

He was too busy playing Civilization to complain
Today$10.80 on GMG. But you'll have to wait until tomorrow
Less than 8 hours actuallyJust seeing bits of this on Twitter, and got curious. Looks like fun, but I'm a bit worried. The OP basically sold me on the game, but
1) I like dungeon / loot games
2) I like shooters
3) I really don't enjoy roguelikes and having bough several by mistake don't want to so so again
Seeing mentions that this is a roguelike - to what extent?

Welp, for this price I had to pull the trigger. I have way too many games on my plate right now, but Enter the Gungeon seems like a great "I'll make a run or two" -type of game to wedge in-between other games.
Im in the same boat. I need a sense of progression.

Game seems great but I have one very annoying issue.
Every time you kill an enemy the game freezes for a millisecond. It's irritating.

Yeah, that's what holds me back from enjoying roguelikes. I get reset a few times and that's about as far as I go with them. The feeling of futility kicks in early for me without a strong measure of progress.

I really love NT, but hated Isaac. This seems super tempting to pick up. The question is, Steam or PS4?

From what I've gathered from dev comments, footage, and impressions, there are three aspects to the progression:
1) Meta-progression spread across playthroughs. Things you do in early playthroughs can have effects on later playthroughs (i.e. something you do results in a boss appearing later)
2) The Isaac-style progression of new weapons and items being added to the pool of loot that you can find in the dungeons
3) The Necrodancer-esque progression where your hub world grows more lively and gains more NPCs, opening up new shops and other elements as you play

What time is it?
I've only played about an hour but the variety of guns and other pickups seem neat (anvil launcher was my first pickup). The pace of the action seems a tad slow as does the progression. The floors are large and you need to explore them for weapons, upgrades, currency, etc. I can see the first few floors getting tedious while you are trying to progress to lower floors. On the plus side, the bosses are random.
That's pretty accurate though unlocking the shop keepers feels very much like finding the character skins in Spelunky. Bosses drop universal currency you can spend with those shopkeepers and then those items will appear in future runs.

The weapons are all guns, right? No melee weapons like in NT?

Knowing this game, there's probably a gun that shoots melee weapons.

That PS4 video showed a gun shooting the letters B U L L E T, hopefully there's a rifle that shoots knives or a shotgun that shoots axes.
I just got that gun! It made me laugh when I shot it.

Yea this hitch everytime you kill an enemy is becoming an issue for me. I noticed it in videos too.
Freeze frames most likely and configurable like in NT too hopefully.

Does it make a cool sound when you fire? If the gun spoke each letter as it shot out, that would be amazing.
A voice says "BULLET!" each time you shoot it.

I don't think it's configurable. Even more odd is that sometimes an enemy won't trigger it. Also I have screen shake set to off. Turning it up a bit does minimize the hitch.
Game is sick though.
This is pretty much spot on.
I'd have preferred a bit more of a meaningfull progression curve, like persistent upgrades and improvements, I'm not sure I like the way unlocked weapons only go in your loot pool, which means you have to get them from chests, which means you need keys, it's a bit of a protracted gameplay loop, but for me, it's much more fun than BoI.
The bosses are randomized, or at least sort of.
And that is definitely a funny take on the Beholder from D&D, trust me.
It's still a roguelike.
You unlock items, power ups and stuff you can find around in the gungeons as loot, the central hub gets populated with characters you can interact with (some are sellers, some give you tasks, others are just downright mysterious), but eventually when you start your run you're always back to square one, with the standard set of weapons (depending on the character you choose) and nothing else.
So yeah, it's ultimately a roguelike, and if you hate those mechanics, it's hard this game will change your mind about all that.
I'm using a control and have had no issues.
Controller for me, but I really need to get out of the habit of trying to dodge roll with the O button, and use the L1 button instead.

So I played a few runs tonight. This is really fun, much more so than binding of isaac since this is more of a bullet hell game. Ran into a couple of set pieces, and had no clue what to do:
What do I need for these?
A giant lock with a face with for a jail cell with a giant and girl inside (regular keys didn't seem to work. Also ran into an alter and a statue, where my only option was to leave.
What a great man He was... You are right. Will pick it up later and follow the way of my Idol.
Plan to buy it for Ps4, but thank for that advice.$10.80 on GMG. But you'll have to wait until tomorrow
You need a special key, you should be able to find it in the same level, these characters unlock the exchange store back at the hub
KBM sounds like a no brainer unless it has some weird issues
it's impossible to go back to controller Nuclear Throne after you go mouse/kb
Took down 3 bosses on my first go.
I already love this game.
Shame I was testing it out on my kids account.
king bullet from the trailers was easy I had the uzi that shot out the word bullets and could keep constant stream of death hitting him. whilst just worrying about the bullet hell.
the Gatling gull and that eye thing were easier.
Didn't really get too far anyway. shame you lose everything when you die
I rescued that girl in the cell and bought some weapons form her but couldn't work out where to actually collect them.

Yea but this looks like BOI too where in BOI it didn't matter lol
I mean, you didnt aim beyond 4 directions in Binding of Isaac, so no
this is a twin stick shooter, totally different

So, like, GMG purposely waiting the very last minute to send the codes or what ? Gosh this is annoying.
I read somewhere on the steam forums that controller has significant aim assist and it's not like Nuclear Throne/Hotline Miami where you control the cursor at a max length away from your character.
M&kb should be fine though and still the most accurate to control, most footage has people playing with it.

Spoiler question I guess:
I found the dude who makes a shortcut for you and he's hanging out in the breach. He says he'll meet me at the elevator on the second floor but when I get there he is nowhere to be found? What am I missing?
Haven't got mine either.
