There is a subtle highlight to everything that can be interacted with, which makes them stand out more amongst the chaos. There are bouts of slowdown during bullet-intense sequences, which is something the developers should hopefully iron out, but it isn’t game-breaking. Sometimes classic games get lost in their pixel art, and things get muddied in the process. Everything is clean, and is easy to separate. Visually the game sports the popular retro vibe, but also feels modern in its presentation. Tight controls and great design really push it over the edge. There are upgrades that can be purchased with currency earned from defeating bosses, but outside of that, it is pretty much a free-for-all of bullet-dodging glory. Dodging and shooting are the core ingredients, and I knew all I needed to know within the first five minutes. What I like most about Gungeon is that it employs the K.I.S.S.
When I died, I knew it was my mistake, and mastering the gungeon takes patience and learning how the game works. It is well-balanced and definitely challenging, but never unfair. It also features a sort of AI director that ramps up difficulty whenever a player achieves victory. Enter the Gungeon features crafted levels, with each one being spun into a randomly generated maze. Piecing something like this game together and making it work are easier said than done.
ENTER THE GUNGEON REVIEW PS4
I am not going to go in-depth about the game, but you can view our previous review of the PS4 version right here. One more run is often muttered after death, and that is definitely a good thing. Powered by precise game play and a great loop, this dungeon crawler/bullet shooter mix to create a unique blend of game play mechanics that I can’t seem to stop playing.
Enter the Gungeon is now one of those exceptions. There are a few exceptions such as Rogue Legacy, but for the most part I prefer traditional game progression. The thought of randomly generated levels and stifled progression is not my cup of tea. It’s no secret that I am not usually a fan of the roguelike genre.
