Exit the Gungeon

A bug involving one of the bosses has rendered the game unplayable for me. There is a 50% chance that a run will enter into a soft lock state that cannot be escaped from. A stain on the Enter the Gungeon name

If Enter the Gungeon is Game of Throne, Exit is the final season.

'My disappointment is immense and my day is ruined.' Imagine all the things you liked about the first game being ripped out and scrapped while making every other aspect of the game WORSE.

I dont want to add yet another negative review here, I really loved Enter the Gungeon. This game disappointed me wanting more of THAT kind of game. I think devs should make the kinds of games THEY want to make, but Exit The Gungeon does not seem to a passion project, more like we need to push out something fast, so here it goes. I eagerly await enter the gungeon 2, I dont mind if they want to make it something different than ETG 1, but please, put some heart & soul into it.

Just play Enter.

One of the Bosses, Meowitzer, currently breaks the game. It just turns invisible and then you either take damage every other second and die, or nothing happens at all and the fight just can't continue. All you can do is restart the run then. Personally there was a streak where I ran into that boss like 10 times in a row which broke all of these runs which is highly frustrating. Beside that there are also minor visual glitches and major audio ones, where a whole host of sound effects just won't play anymore until you restart the game. It's very weird when you fight the last boss and all you here is just the sound of your own gun because all other sounds bugged out. However even if the game works as intended it is mediocre at best as the game design is flawed to its core.

What a disappointment. I like Enter the Gungeon, and I like Arcade-style run and gun platformers. I still think those two things could work together, but the execution here is just abysmal. Platformers need platforms, but most of the levels here are so flat and compact they make Smash's Battlefield look fancy. So instead of using movement to avoid bullets, you cheese the bullets with jump immunity. It's not hard to do this, but it also isn't fun or engaging at all to just jump everywhere and hope you don't land on a bullet. Avoid this even on deep sale. The dialogue and presentation are about as entertaining as the original, but good set dressing can't salvage the joyless gameplay loop.

JUMP INSTEAD OF ROLLING. The game doesn't exactly tell you this, but it becomes way, way easier if you just jump instead of rolling most of the time. You get way more iframes as opposed to rolling, and it makes some of the bosses almost trivial. It's still not a great game, and it's not anywhere near as good as Enter the Gungeon, but I'd say I got $2 of fun out of it.
