Since it keeps coming up, let’s talk about dodging. Controls take a little getting used to on the gamepad where shoot and dodge are on the bumpers, with item use mapped to the bumpers rather than triggers, but you get used to it fairly quickly. Other than that there are shoot, reload, use item, and most important of all, dodge. There are aiming and moving, both of which feel fluid and precise. Wipe out all the enemies in a room and the doors unlock, letting you continue to explore the randomly generated dungeon floors searching for treasure, shops, and the floor’s boss battle.īosses all come with info cards to preview the horror.Ĭontrols are purposely kept simple. The screen is usually filled to the brim with projectiles, both yours and your enemies’, and each room quickly becomes a hectic nightmare of shooting and moving as you attempt to clear it. The name of the game here is shoot and scoot, as you’ll need a steady trigger hand and even steadier dodge timing to make it through the titular dungeon. That’s fine since EtG‘s gameplay carries the experience more than enough for the lack of a plot. Other than that, there are small bits and pieces of lore, like constant allusions to something called the Hegemony that seems to rule the world outside, and various characters you meet will have short backstories, but overall EtG is fairly story-light. You’re then given the option of four heroes, each with something in their past that they want dead, and provided an elevator into the Gungeon itself.

There’s not a whole lot of plot to EtG, save an intro cutscene explaining that the Gungeon magically appeared one day and is said to house a gun that can “kill the past”. Is it a dungeon worth delving into, or a bullet straight to the head? What do you get when you cross twin-stick shooters like Smash TV with the randomized level creation of Rogue and a bestiary straight out of Dungeons and Dragons? The answer is Enter the Gungeon, the long-awaited rogue-like-shooter from Dodge Roll Games and publisher Devolver Digital.
