Snipers are very good on bosses, but it all comes down to how good you feel your aim is with those weapons. Some bosses have patterns that are too hectic to take snipes at them reliably so automatic weapons are probably the way to go with those.

I got the Membrane for the first time. Mother of God, so good. Fulled charged Heroine with fat bullets too, dayum. So many good weapons.
I feel like there's a big random factor in the difficulty of floor 5. Sometimes it's springily easy, other times you get rooms that have four hammers and a lead maiden, plus little guys running around.

Compass or grappling hook + ring that fires bullets when you use an active item + banana is fucking hilarious. Doesn't do as much damage as you'd expect, but it's so good.

So far, I think Gorgun might be the easiest boss in the entire game.
It's Bullet Twins for me. It seems like I can usually melt those guys in no time even with shitty weapons.

same.
twins, king, and the bullet snake were the easiest for me. they just kept running into my bullets on their own so i didn't have to try too hard to aim, thus could focus on rolling and dodging.
also: what are the altars for? i dropped a gun at one but nothing happened. still am only able to get to a 3rd boss before dying though. going to work on it more tonight.
I bought this on Ps4 last night and it's everything I'd hoped it would be which is basically The Binding of Isaac with a few minor differences. I love the sound effects, the controls (especially the roll) and the random items and levels. The graphics/sprites could be a teeny bit bigger (Isaac size would be perfect) but it's a non issue really because everything still looks great. Shoot em ups with heaps of randomised features and items are a godsend and I wish games like this would've been around back in the 16bit days. They should really give this treatment to Beat-Em-Ups like Street of Rage (yea I know about River City Ransom but the graphics are just too oldskool for me) and to Metal Slug Games (PLEASE GOD!!!).
Just a couple of questions:
1. Is there any point to destroying all the objects around the room? Like will there ever be any hidden items under stacks of books etc?
2. Are you supposed to leave chests alone if you don't have any keys? I know you can shoot them and very rarely get them to open with an item or more likely a pile of Junk. Just seems a waste to leave the level without opening everything.
Awesome game and will save Dark Souls 3 for the weekend while I play this.

1. Nope.
2. If you finish a floor and have chests left with no keys to open them, then destroy them. Other than junk sometimes you might get half a heart, ammo, keys, or it could be a mimic you didn't notice.
Also the chests have a rarity to them, brown chests aren't even worth using a key on unless you're desperate for an item.
Unless you're in a real big hurry you should always destroy the chests if you don't have a way to open them. I've gotten a gun out of a broken chest before (though not a very good one), and even if you only get junk it's not completely worthless.
This game looks awesome, but user reviews aren't that great. Looks kinda like Hero Siege but with some actual difficulty and hopefully not as many cheesy/buggy deaths. Is that at all accurate?
Edit: What I liked about Hero Siege was that you didn't start from 0 whenever you died. Does this game have any sort of persistent level ups?

I'm starting to believe I might never beat this game. After 17 hours I'm only now starting to consistently get to boss 3. Only got to boss 4 once and was instantly dead by the time the battle started.
I believe getting health upgrades is too hard. If it's not by a handful of items that have less than 1% chance of dropping, you must always kill the bosses without getting hit. And that's so so frustating, since even reaching them take about 15 minutes each. So you stay 15 minutes preparing for the battle only to get hit last minute and restart the whole run. I haven't been capable of consistently getting flawless battles against the bosses. It's a lot better now, but still pretty common to reach Level 3 with only 3 hearts.
Also for a roguelite that runs play for longer than average, using those "first time you're always going to die" traps seems unfitting.For example NT's final boss,
. This game though, I really believe by the time I'm done exploring the first chamber I'd be already at the 4th world if I was playing NT.

most people are going to get exterminated by the laser on the first try. But that doesn't feel so bad because it takes 15 minutes tops to get there again
Perfect, thanks for that because I thought the brown ones looked a bit ordinary.
Yea I only destroyed one and got Junk which said "Use a Key Next Time" so I was skeptical to try it again incase you have to come back to some of these stages.
Thank you.

*Secret side quest Spoilers*
Fun story (and by "fun" I mean "miserable"): I made it all the way to the 4th floor boss room while carrying the
so I could give it to
. As soon as I entered the boss room, I tossed it into the center of the room and went on with the fight. As soon as the fight was over, I went looking for it but could not find it at all. Triple and quadruple checked and it was nowhere to be seen. So I stepped out of the room for a second in hopes that the rat would come and try to steal it and reveal its location, and I could shoot at him and scare him away. Turns out the item somehow got pushed down to the bottom of the room up against the wall to put it out of my view. By the time I saw the rat, though, it was too late...

Well deserved! Hope the good word of mouth continues to spread and more people pick it up because this game is a blast. It's made me a fan of a genre that I had absolutely no interest in before Gungeon.

200K+ copies sold! Well deserved.
Very impressive, SteamSpy has it at approximately 130,000 so it's been reasonably strong on PS4 as well.
Very deserved.

Great news and every dollar they make is 100% deserved.
Nope, you start fresh each time. You unlock better weapon/item drops and there are some side quests to do, but each run you start out with default characters. It's most similar to Binding of Isaac in terms of structure. It plays very differently though

Hopefully we get some good post-release content since it seems to be doing well. More characters, please.

BTW, Steam patch notes say Treadnaught was nerfed in the most recent update. I did fight him after the update and was able to flawless the fight for the first time, but most of that was probably because the explosions from my RPG were destroying some of his bullets. But overall some of his attacks did seem slower and the minions weren't as big a hassle.

In my 20+ hours I only had the game freeze once, which is still one time too many but that is in stark contrast to how the stable the game is otherwise. There are some bullshit moments like going several floors without getting a decent weapon but that's RNG I guess. For the most part it's pretty fair.
As for persistence, the only thing that carries over between runs are people you free from the Gungeon (which spawn randomly) and the currency you get from defeating bosses. You can use both to unlock more guns and items for item pool for the Gungeon to pull from. Beyond that, you start from square one each time.
Serious question, of all the bosses 3rd floor and below who do you think is harder?

FWIW, I find Ammoconda to be a lot more annoying. At least with Treadnaught you can keep him moving around the exterior of the map with relative ease and maintain some spacing. But I find the snake to be so damn unpredictable. There are probably some reliable techniques to flawless the fight that I haven't picked up on yet, but as of right now I'd say he's more difficult than Treadnaught.

From what I've read,
Door Lord
Everyone's having fun with guns!
I bought three copies myself, gave away two. It's a fun game and I'm glad it's doing well...
I fought him on floor 4, never on 3, weird. I've only fought him once. I wonder why they don't make him a regular floor 3 boss
Nice, those minions were the main reason that fight was bs with leading shots coming in from off-screen. I was expecting they would just get rid of the adds, but I guess nerfing both the adds and the boss itself is a more sensible nerf.
Also nice to see they didn't actually nerf the lightsaber but just made it more rare, I always find it annoying to see fun broken stuff getting nerfed so I highly prefer this way of balancing.
It can appear on 2, 3 and 4.

Yeah, I fought him on the 4th floor as well, but according to the wiki he can appear anywhere from floors 2-4.

The Blobulord isn't inherently hard but if you don't snag a good gun he's tedious as hell. Soooo much health. Probably my least favorite boss in the game.
Whose user reviews? It's 91% on Steam and everyone here loves it. It's a great game if you're into this kind of thing.
As for buggy deaths, haven't really had any. And persistent progress... eh not so much. You can unlock weapons which are added to a pool of weapons you find in chests or from bosses, and you can also unlock shortcuts. Arguably the shortcuts aren't even that helpful though because you start out on a hard floor with no money, keys, or good guns. So it's pretty harsh in terms of starting fresh every time. It took me a while to come to grips with.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
I brought my PS4 over to a friends house for the weekend. We mostly played Enter the Gungeon and convinced him to buy a copy on Steam.
We need to get as many people to try this game as possible.

You are doing Gun's work.
Just now, for the first time ever I made it to level 4. I managed to beat boss 1 (Gull) and 2 (Gorgun) without taking a single hit and accrued SEVEN hearts, which allowed me to beat that stupid tank that everyone hates. I died quickly on level 4 but the theme of it is fucking awesome, I loved what I saw.
Really hoping to get that elevator to level 3 repaired, though.
Man this game is so, so, so good. I got it for like 9 bucks and I've put like 20 hours in already. Surprise hit of the year, I hadn't even heard of it until it was released.

The turtle is super Op. I love that little guy
Finally finished. Only got hit once on dragun. Easiest boss in the game tbh lol his attacks are so easy to dodge.
Welp. So much easier then it looks.
Is that a fucking gun that shoots backwards?
