Really fun, but buggy
A very entertaining game that is now ported to mobile. Very happy to play it. But there are some bugs. I play on a ninth-generation Apple iPad, and while I enjoy it thoroughly, several persistent bugs tarnish my gaming experience.
The bugs I have found so far:
Audio
-Face Melter does not play it’s unique song when fired
-Cursella theme song does not play when in her store
-Ambient music in Resourceful Rat Lair missing, as well as the music for first stage of the boss fight
-rare bug where M16 will fire the incorrect sounds for rounds fired, i.e. bullet sound when firing grenades.
Visual
-Enemies affected by Hot Lead status effects turn blue instead of red-hot. Same with Dragunfire.
-not a bug, but the safe zones for the screen display are MASSIVE. It would be very comfortable to use the whole screen to play, instead of having big bars limiting the fov.
Gameplay
-The game crashes about an average of once every 3-5 floors when I enter the elevator to the next floor, crashes when entering the High Dragun’s chamber about 50% of the time, and 100% of times at some point during my trip through the resourceful rat’s lair. Normally this isn’t the end of the world because reloading the game puts you back into the floor entrance with all the rooms you’ve explored still revealed, but sometimes the floor layout changes, vendors will have new sets of items or be switched with different vendors, and secret rooms are blocked up again. This is moderately irritating because any consumables you have used (blanks, casings, special keys) are not replaced, and it’s INFURIATING if you have opened a secret passage using a unique item (Abbey of the true gun, Resourceful rat lair, etc) because you become permanently unable to access it from that point in your run.
-Several of the save buttons are absent. Thus far I have found save buttons for the Oubliette, Abbey of the True Gun, And Bullet Hell, for a total of three. However, the Save buttons for floors 1,2,3,4, and 5 are not present, meaning 5/8 buttons are missing. I see no reason why they SHOULD be missing, since the three buttons that ARE present in the game function perfectly fine, which makes me wonder if this was an intentional design change for the mobile port since the only surviving save buttons are for secret floors. In any case, it’s annoying that you can’t save on most floors, especially when combined with the elevator crash mentioned earlier.
- If you use a controller, even if you toggle manual aim, THERE IS NO RETICLE. I cannot stress how much this one in particular bugs me. Trying to manually aim weapons without a crosshairs is a masochist challenge for the foolhardy.
Other than all that, this game is fantastic. Just like the PC version. But I would hesitate to buy this version for your mobile device until these issues are resolved. Any one of them alone isn’t a deal-breaker, but when you put them all together the game goes from fluid, awesome action-packed gunplay into a series of choppy resets. The constant setbacks and interface issues plague your performance, diminish your returns, and make an otherwise splendid game into a truly tedious experience.

Multiplayer does not work
Every-time me and my friend try and play multiplayer only the host gets sucked into the game and the other just stays back at the breach this is so dumb especially because you have to buy it to unlock multiplayer. I wish they would fix this dumb problem.
It’s Amazing! But…
So I genuinely love this game. This dev makes some pretty good games. I loved Carion too! However…GIVE ME A SAVE BUTTON PLEASE!!! I don’t have time to sit and play for 40mins+ and get to a lot the other floors. But I want to be able to come back and play. Can we please add this feature?
???????
Co-op doesn’t work, whenever you start a multiplayer match with 2 people, 1 person goes into the Gungeon while the other is stuck in the lobby
