Enter the Gungeon Review
Roguelike Radar editorial ·
Dodge everything. Fire something ridiculous.
Is Enter the Gungeon worth playing?
Gungeon is the definitive gun-focused top-down roguelike. The count is impressive, but differentiation is the real achievement: projectiles, reloads, animation and mechanical identity make much of the arsenal recognizable at a glance.
From the official description
A bullet hell dungeon crawler about misfits shooting, looting, dodge rolling, and table-flipping their way toward the gun that can kill the past.

What makes it distinct
A 242-gun arsenal in which firing patterns, projectile behavior and reloads give weapons a distinct identity.
What holds up
- A huge arsenal changes how you aim, position and manage reload windows.
- More than 20 bosses have memorable patterns rather than blending into a content pool.
- Hidden rooms, NPCs and weapon synergies keep rewarding attention long after the basics click.
What to know first
- Dodging and pattern recognition set a high mechanical floor before a build can carry the run.
- A full attempt is relatively long, so late mistakes can be expensive.
Who should play Enter the Gungeon?
Players who want precise dodging, playful weapon design and bosses worth learning move by move.
Anyone who wants relaxed auto-attacks or expects permanent upgrades to smooth over execution checks.
