Does it?
Yeah, it does, which might seem like a bad thing until you realize that more enemies means you get more drops/money earlier.

I've been playing both Gungeon and NT in recent weeks. There are certainly similarities but so many distinguishing factors, too.
I agree with all of these points. In fact, I tend to fire up NT when I know my time is limited or just want a quick action fix. With Gungeon, I try to make sure I have a solid block of time put aside, in case I have a bad run or two, or even an inspired run(!). As I have said multiple times in the thread, I hope they add a save feature to Gungeon, similar to BoI. I would probably play the game non-stop.
Yeah, I took a break, and now I'm doing way better.
bloody Iron Maidens are awful
Enemies don't give money/as much money if you're damaged by them, I think.
The devs mentioned that a save-and-quit function is in the works, Isaac-style.

All right! Thanks!
Yeah, end game in this is a bit weak. Compared to something like Binding of Isaac, it doesn't feel like there's as much to do. Great game, though, regardless.

Any trick to spawning a glitch chest or is it random? I'm 80 hours in and only I've only ran into one.
Edit: Guess it just gives you prizes? I was worried an unlock was tied to it.

It can also warp you to the next level's boss room, where you fight two copies of a boss.
I am 40 hours in and made it twice to Dragun, but died every time. One time was close, the other was not. I am at the point in my relationship with the game where I think I deserve a win. Yet, the game is unbelievably cruel sometimes. I never really had this problem with the Binding of Isaac that the RNG in the game can really ruin a promising run. But i feel the rng is a crucial factor in Gungeon. For example, I had some decent weapons and ok passives, but on floor 3 and floor 4 there were no health drops. Even the shop only had a lousy half heart. In opposition to that, there is such an onslaught of tough enemies that it is ludicrous that the game demands of me to almost not take damage. You have to keep in mind that some of the tougher bosses really can bleed you dry before you enter the next floor.The floors have gotten too tough for such austerity politics at the stage where I am. In addition, the runs themselves tend to get quite long which makes the prospect of a restart und playing again until chapter 4 or 5 not really enticing. The frustration of the game is getting to me and might break me in the near future.
Am I alone with this?

I am currently trying to find The Lost Adventurer in the 4th Chamber, Hollow, and he is just not appearing! It's so frustrating - I have unlocked all of the challenging Trophies and done some tough runs and to stumble at unlocking Platinum because of this NPC is a shame.
I have read online (Reddit, Steam forums etc.) that the RNG for generating NPCs in the 4th Chamber is particularly brutal. I have completed Hollow 56 times now and he hasn't appeared. Other NPCs have appeared and I believe it is just a matter of time.
For those with Platinum how on Earth did you get lucky with this? Any tips for finding him, although I doubt there are. There is a comment from the developers on Reddit where they admit finding The Lost Adventurer for the fifth time is much, much harder than they intended. When I find him I might just come back here screaming success, stay tuned.

Nothing specific but make sure you're holding some keys in reserve, would suck for him to spawn and then end up a key short if the shop or another room is locked. I think my last floor for him was 3 or 5, but I can't recall, seems like I used to see him all the time and then not much after unlocking his achievement.
Thanks for the tip! I have been making sure to keep two keys during my runs, as sometimes even the shop keeper is behind a locked door. I also use my Blanks in the hope he might be hiding behind a hidden wall (sure I read that on a forum somewhere).
I am not joking when I say I have completed Hollow now 73 times and that is just searching for him. I have seen the Ogre, Cursula and The Gunsling King only once as well during that time - have not seen Winchester. Takes me about 5-6 minutes to clear the floor and I have spent 1 hour every day this week. Oh man. Just feel broken at this stage.

The robot is the worst. It wasn't too hard to finish the game with the other characters, but I've probably lost the past 30+ times with him. I swear his RNG is committed to giving me brown chests and items that are intended to increase his health.

What am I missing with the wall boss fight? Once he puts up that fire in the middle, it's impossible not to get hit a few times. The only way I've beaten is him is by out DPS'ing the bastard or by having enough blanks/invincibility somethings to get by.
You can touch the fire, just have to dodge a bunch to put it out. I find the Wallmonger to be the easiest 4th floor boss personally. It's the Kill Pillars that kill me.
Kill Pillars is the easiest boss in the game with the bullet

But you have to keep rolling to put out the fire, and rolling will guarantee you dodge right into a bullet.
Pillers are tough, but once I got the timing down on their first attack, they were far more manageable. That opener though, such a dick move for players that haven't fought them before, lol.
I'm always happy when it's High Priest on the fourth floor.
Still haven't unlocked him yet, and I'm almost 100 hours in. I think I need to find him one more time, but he's refusing to show.

You can roll straight through the solid block of bullets if you time it right. It's pretty tight timing though.

You can?
That might be the trick then. I've always tried to dive to the other side, and that always got me hit by the spread.
That's the trick, always be dodging.
Also this, but that's easy-peasy.

Dodging is usually a last resort when I play. I find much more success in weaving through the bullet hell, personally. The dodge usually allows me to avoid the current bullet, but in the later stages, it's throwing me right in the path of another.
OMG finally, my first Dragun kill. Unfortunately I haven't taken the Prime Primer to the blacksmith yet so I couldn't kill my past but I'm still gonna count this as a win. When I got to Chamber 5 I had already admitted defeat, and I ended up walking into the Dragun fight with 1.5 hearts, 1 armour and 1 blank. Luckily my Bee Hive was full and with my strength blessing (that's really a curse) they made quick work of him and his asshole minions. Heroine saved the day though, I used that thing for half of 3 and practically all of 4 and 5.
Still got a hell of a lot to do but I can't wait to do it all again.
Hi everyone, total noob to the game (and rogue like genre) thanks to it being on sale here in the UK.
I know this is a daft question, but can I not save the game, quit and come back to it? I don't wanna lose my progress by starting another game. I use the word progress loosely here, I think I've cleared about ten rooms so far (go me!)

Nah, you cant man
. Thats what a roguelike is all about. You unlock stuff that you can use on other runs though! You can put the game in rest mode i guess but then you cant play other games.Thanks fella for your quick reply. I had a spare fifteen minutes so I thought to myself, I'll just give Gungeon a go and see what it's like. Fifteen minutes later I've completed the tutorial and I'm making my way around floor 1, found two guns, then I realised as I was about to head out there wasn't a save option. I suppose I can carry on next time I turn my ps4 on, hopefully.
Game seems fun and charming so far, although obviously I'm yet to see how challenging it really gets.

If you put the PS4 in rest mode you can pick up where you left off. But you can't play another game and come back to it.
Don't worry, you'll be finding lots of new guns!
Thank god. Playing optimally unfortunately means playing with the pistol which means playthroughs feel like they have too much fat in the earlier floors.
I just went back on this again since posting the other day. As this is my first ever rogue like game, it's certainly quite the eye opener! As somebody with average gaming skills, I'm having to step up here. On my first run I managed to get as far as chamber 2 boss, then I got destroyed. Is that ok enough progress at this stage? I bet you can all reach chamber 3 in your sleep haha.
I am enjoying it, even though it is kinda annoying having to start all the way from chamber 1 again.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I thought I read all weapon unlocks carry over to your next game? Everytime I start I have the same measley pistol each time and nothing else.

The weapons you unlock go into the item pool, not your starting items. So when you unlock a new gun it means now you can actually find it in chests and such.
