    Enter the Gungeon (PC/PS4)

    Is anyone else playing this? It's a rogue-like game, mixed with bullet hell gameplay with some really great guns, tons of items and 16 bit graphic style. It's also tough as nails. It's a shame there's no online co-op, but man, for a 12.50 game or whatever on Steam, it's a steal.

    I'm playing on PS4. You REALLY have to get amazing with dodge/roll and you die a billion times. My one issue: I don't feel like I'm progressing. I get to the second chamber quite often, but can never find the shortcut. I'm just playing the first level over and over and finding all the items. There is a trophy for beating chamber one 50 times, so this is how the game is supposed to play. I don't regret the purchase at all, but I can see how this can annihilate people who only remotely like rogues-likes.

    apparently you unlock the guy for shortcuts and then you find him again in single player or something to open up the next floor? i dunno

    i guess the big negative on this is there's no perma progression unless you count getting better stuff outta chests randomly

    This is like The Binding of Isaac. It's all about the replay with different item/weapon combos.

    Well I'm glad some other people are playing it. It deserves attention. I find myself having the same issue. Getting past the first dungeon I can usually do pretty consistently. I really like The Convict, as her sawed off is pretty incredible, as is the molitov cocktail on some bosses. But I'm also playing around with the Pilot, his discount in the store is super nice.

    The second dungeon kicks my ass, consistently. I've found a ton of guns, but haven't even scratched the surface in finding like 10%. Apparently once you get to Gungeon Proper (level 2), you can rescue prisoners in cells. I've gotten a big cell key a few times from the Lead Maidens, but after I get one, I usually die lol. So I haven't found anyone yet. But once you rescue, they stay in the main hub, and then you can do upgrades and such. I still have a lot of fun with it, but it's one of those brutal games that just requires you to play for hours, and if you get mad/annoyed, just best to turn it off, because playing it angry will get you killed much quicker.

    I really wish there was a co-op online mode for this. Would make it so much more fun.

    I'm still sort of playing Nuclear Throne. This looks extremely similar.

    Finally made a bit of progress. Got to level 3. At the end of level 2, I got Gorgun as a boss. The Medusa type. She's super easy if you have a very long range gun. I had The Winchester. Stay very far away from her, she'll try to lay a bed of poison, but if you're far enough, it's just a straight line and the room is huge. Keep playing keep away, her projectiles are easily avoidable. All the while shooting. I didn't have to use any blanks.

    She gave me a Prison Key, used it to unlock a a prisoner shopkeeper, who's in the main hub and unlocks items and guns in the gungeon. Also found and rescued a couple other NPCs including the elevator guy. It's not active yet, but hey, a little bit at a time. Was so satisfied with finally beating level 2. Things get even more wild in level 3.

    Also, very useful tip, drop whatever item/weapons you're not using in the shopkeeper's room to that creature underneath the bars. He'll buy guns (not the starters) some of them for a lot. Helps with buying other health.

    There is also a room on the first level with a fireplace. If you can manage to get a water weapon, or a barrel in there and put out the fire, there's a hidden switch and it unlocks a secret room which looks like a basement. It needs 2 keys though, so I couldn't get in

    Yeah, right after my post, I made a super duper skate run to chamber four. I found an extra heart container, the gun that explodes and homes smaller bullets (it's a beast), and rooms with lots to hide behind (which enhanced the usefulness of the gun).

    Loving it. Finally all those hundreds of hours in Binding of Isaac and I Wanna Be The Boshy paying off!

    What are the chances of the developers releasing this for the one? Ive been watching so many lets plays and I'm constantly kicking myself for not buying a ps4 or owning a pc that can run steam games or games in general D:

    I'm still praying for an Afterbirth release on the vita lol.

    Not my cup of tea to play, but I've been enjoying watching streamers play it.
