Overview

Enter the Gungeon is a 2D comedic sci-fi fantasy top-down shooter developed by Dodge Roll (Company) and published digitally by Devolver Digital (Company) for the PlayStation 4 (Platform), PC (Platform), Mac (Platform), and Linux (Platform) on April 5, 2016. It was later released digitally on the Xbox One (Platform) (on April 5, 2017) and Nintendo Switch (Platform) (on December 14, 2017).

Taking place in a constantly-evolving labyrinth called "The Gungeon" (inhabited by sentient bullets and other strange gun-related creatures), players control one of four unlikely heroes (the Gungeoneers) as they fight through the forces of the gun-toting Cult of the Gundead to seek the legendary gun that could "kill the past" in order to change their own past.

Similar to both The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Nuclear Throne (Game), Enter the Gungeon combines roguelike dungeon crawlers (with procedurally-generated levels and perma-death) with the gameplay of twin-stick shooters (with a focus on dodging numerous projectiles, similar to "bullet hell" shoot 'em ups). Players can find new guns and items by opening chests, defeating bosses, and purchasing from shops.

Characters

Each hero starts with a basic weapon with unlimited ammo and a few selection of items and character traits.

The Cultist is only available in co-op.

The Gungeon also consists of the Breach which is the main hub where the player can choose what character they want to play as, talk to NPC's, and purchase items from shops.

NPC's

The NPC's can be unlocked by finding them in the Gungeon and rescuing them by finding a golden key to unlock their cage. Once they are unlocked they will appear in the Breach for the player to talk to, or they will randomly appear in levels of the Gungeon with side quests or shops.
