I would recommend it to anyone interested in downloading it, as you can easily log multiple hours in it on the go or at home. I only have two problems with it: one: the untitled gun seems to glitch out sometimes and just not fire, making you have to wait for the gun to change while dodging bullets. Two: I believe the achievement for getting bello’s stools might be impossible on my current save file. Despite having 36+ hours on that file and having nearly every other achievement, I haven’t been able to get him to trigger the dialogue to initiate his ‘side quest.’ Other than those two things the game is practically perfect and I have no other complaints. ### 4/5 — Best Game On Apple Arcade, But *2021-02-19, version 2.1* Most of the time, when I try to fight The Last Dragun, when I beat The Last Dragun, when I enter the ship, or when I try to get on the jet ski with the space turtle to fight the secret boss, my game crashes and I have to restart my run. I assume this is because of the 3D models used for the Dragun, ship, and Secret Boss, so using pre-rendered 2D animations of those could fix the issue. It would also slow the battery drain during those bits. Also, please, PLEASE let the game save each time you either enter or leave the shop so runs aren't cut short by crashes or backing out of the app, or using another app for too long. I’ve lost my best runs to crashes, the app deciding the reset cuz I had to text someone, and many other things that were out of my control. This game is incredibly fun because of the fact that every hit you take is your fault, and having the game not just lower my health, but make me reset my entire run, for something that is both out of my control and not my fault, really drains the joy out of my experience. Other than that, this is an incredible sequel to one of my favorite games of all time, and it gives me hope for mobile devices as a gaming platform. I can’t wait to see what the next update brings, even if my issues aren’t resolved by then. Keep up the great work! ### 4/5 — Amazing *2020-12-24, version 2.1* This game is incredible. I’m spending more time here than any other game on the Apple Arcade. It’s legit amazing and is so fun to play. (Honestly I recommend playing with a Xbox or PlayStation controller because playing with touch controls is slightly uncomfortable for this game) It however has bugs. Many of these have been fixed however there are still quite a few left. There is room for improvement and I honestly hope the devs keep working on it. Amazing but PLEASE fix the bugs. ### 5/5 — Please come back devs! *2020-06-02, version 2.0.6* As someone who played enter the gungeon for hours on end, this is game is great! A full on 2D gungeon is great and I honestly like it better than the first game. But developers, PLEASE come back to working on this game! It needs way more bug fixing! For example, I was playing for the first time as the marine, and after I got the key from the rat in the shop, I then left the shop. Well, after I left, I was hyphen stuck on the platform with no enemies spawning, forcing me to reload the game and play as a different character. Basically, what I’m saying is please, come back to updating your game! Edit: Yay! They have now come back to update AND put it on pc! 3 stars to 5 stars! ### 4/5 — Great Game but short *2020-05-29, version 2.0.6* This is a challenging game with lots of gameplay, but the guns look cool functionality they’re either good and awesome or looking creative but crap. The gameplay is nice, but it has no meaningful replay ability the excuse plot concludes with a anticlimactic ending, and it changes very little between characters. The characters feel the same with relatively different maps and bosses and a new gimmick. When you play enough you git gud when that happens play something else. ### 4/5 — Love it, one problem I’m having *2020-04-03, version 2.0* I never played Enter the Gungeon, but nevertheless, I really enjoy this game. It’s really difficult (I’ve never gotten past a second boss) but it’s really fun. One problem I’m having that I’ve seen a couple other people mention too: when I try to buy the H4MMER in the shop in the breach, it spends my “hegemony credits”, but doesn’t “send” the gun to the gungeon or remove it from the shop. But overall, fun game, nice challenge. EDIT: I lowered my rating to 4 stars because the problem I mentioned is a bit more serious than I thought. Apparently you literally just can’t buy guns in the shop in the breach. It spends your credits, but doesn’t give you the gun. You can buy items, but I think the shop only gets new stock when you empty the old stock. So if you can’t buy guns, you can’t buy items. And buying items and guns in the shop is the only way I know of to progress besides just getting better at the game. ### 5/5 — Good but a few bugs *2020-03-08, version 1.1.4* This game is awesome, it is a unique version of enter the gungeon, that I would suggest trying if you have or want Apple Arcade, but I did find a few bugs within the game itself and things that I would think could improve it, first bug is a big one, if you pause during a boss and unpause, I can’t tell but u might also need to turn phone off, but then when you unpause it makes the game super laggy and the boss goes invisible with all of its bullets, also you almost immediately die. The second bug is that twice I bought something from accusations department, it was fat bullets, and then I’d turn my phone off and when I hop on, I still can buy it but it didn’t give me my H$ back. Finally a improvement that I think is minor but could help, is during the one npcs Classical Game, being able to buy the camera farther behind the cannon, so you can shoot with more force without risking having ur hand go off the screen. ### 4/5 — Love it, but... *2020-02-27, version 1.1.4* I love the game and it is a worthy sequel and a very good mobile adaptation, controls worked well and weren’t clunky, however I have some problems, I feel the chest drop is too random and I think it should be based on skill, if you lost no health then a red chest maybe black, if you got hit once or twice a green chest with a chance for red, and if you got hit more than twice a blue chest with chance for green. Also, I got 3 of the same item (gundromeda strain, makes enemies weaker) and it doesn’t stack, what’s the point of getting 2 black chests if they are USELESS, either let stuff stack or prevent duplicate items in the same run, please fix at least this dodgeroll! ### 4/5 — Still has so much potential... and bugs... *2020-02-23, version 1.1.4* I freakin love this game, I was never able to finish the original but this felt like more of the same glorious format but streamlined for mobile. But now it’s been 4 months since there has been any update and it doesn’t seem like there will be which is a massive bummer because I 100% it. However like many other review have said there are still many bugs like the infinite angry birds game for free and never seeing the freed characters we saved. Also there is no higher difficulties or secret levels to keep me engaged once I’ve beat the main game the 80 times I have. Would love to see some more support and updates to the game to give it just that extra bit more that would make this a 5 star game. ### 4/5 — Great sequel... with some issues *2020-02-13, version 1.1.4* The game perfectly captures the feel of the first game. As someone with over 500 hours of the first game, i can admire this game very well. However the game is very glitchy with some items (such as clone) not working or some shops being glitchy. If this game where to have an update where they add some stuff and patch notes it would be a perfect game (maybe add synergies or some new items or new characters). Also please make the hats actually work and not be super glitchy ### 5/5 — Super fun *2020-01-11, version 1.1.4* This game is super fun and the touch screen controls work great once you get used to them (in other words get gud), the game had clearly been rushed for apple arcade (same for oceanhorn 2) so I hope there will be future updates. There are a few bugs in the game such as the unlimited “angry” birds like minigame, talking to the snail softlocks my game, and if you do a dodge jump into the ship from the right distance at the end you can get the credits text to double up on it self. I hope this review is helpful and I am looking forward to future updates. This is the only game I have apple arcade for and I would rather buy and keep it than lose it when I tire of apple arcade. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awesome game but one big glitch *2020-01-31, version 1.1.4* So i was playing as normal then unexpectedly i win (hooray) so then i close the game and continue with my day.I wanted to share with my friend the game but then it wouldn't let me get past the exit the gungeon logo, i close the app then open it again but when the game starts up MY SAVE DATA WAS DELETED ALL OF MY UNLOCKS AND MY WIN WAS GONE. This had happened to me before but i never really made any progress but the one time that i win i lose all of my save data. I wish they would fix this because i want to keep playing but i don't want that i beat the game with almost all the characters, turn it off and then losing my progress TL:DR I lost my progress all of it ### 1/5 — Great bones but marred by bugs *2019-12-09, version 1.1.4* After spending more time with this game than any other Apple Arcade option it’s easy to say that it’s one of my most—and least—favorite games on offer. The concept is great and after getting used to the touch controls I didn’t experience them as an impediment. I like the various weapons, the bosses become more tolerable after multiple play throughs, and I feel a degree of mastery that comes from multiple play throughs. The problem is that this game is phenomenally buggy and seems to have been abandoned by the folks who made it. There are zero day bugs which still haven’t been resolved, many of the game mechanics don’t behave as they should, and it feels like the designers don’t care. Guns and power ups disappear after being purchased, forcing you to rebuy them. Vendors come and go at random, with no explanation. Hats still make no sense at all, and there’s no explanation offered for why they even exist. One particular mid-run encounter vendor offers unlimited tries for zero money, a bug SO OBVIOUS it really signals that the devs have abandoned this game. This game is fun, but very, very badly put together, which seems to be the hallmark of many Apple Arcade games. Until the bugs are addressed this is a 5 star game in a cloak of buggy misery. ### 2/5 — This game is super fun.. if i could keep my progress *2022-06-30, version 2.1* I am a huge fan of rouge-like games. I have beaten ENTER the gungeon multiple times and different devices. So you can imagine how excited i was to play another gungeon themed game. I was intrigued by the 2D style of this game. When i originally played it my first thoughts were “this game is really easy” which is fine because there is a hard mode. but… i’ve noticed of late that if i ever don't fully finish an entire run and tab out of the game for like 20-30 mins, I will loose the ENTIRE progress of that run only keeping the credits (i think). I understand that this game is shorter and you can beat it pretty quick but honestly, It gets super repetitive, even with all the character options, they all just feel like reskins of eachother. Also the hat collectibles are more of just big distractions and dont add alot to the game (even though it takes multiple runs to even get a single hat sometimes). I dont see these issues ever getting fixed either because its just the game…. Where is the save and quit button? why are the hats so annoying? why is the game so easy/short. It just seems like a throw away game. ### 2/5 — Confused *2021-04-24, version 2.1* I like the gameplay but am lost on how to progress...I go thru the main door to an elevator, kill them all, go to the shop screen with a couple doors, kill everything in both rooms, then I’m just stuck there in the shop, nowhere else to go. I go back to the breach or whatever and everything is the same, do it again but it’s the same. I don’t believe it’s just these 2 rooms and an elevator ride but after searching for an hour I have no idea where else to go. Maybe a bit more instruction on how the heck to play the game. Too bad...it was fun for the 5 minutes it took to beat the 2 rooms I could find. ### 2/5 — Fun game, not user friendly *2021-04-21, version 2.1* I’ve played enter the hinge on before so when I saw this game I decided to give it a shot. After loading up the game I was spat in a starting room where I was given some dialog. Considering I have played the game before I decided to skip the tutorial. I then spent the next 15 minutes in that room just trying to figure out how to start the game. I was able to start a run by going into the pause menu of all places. Once I was in a game I couldn’t figure out how to interact with anything so I had to google it. TO INTERACT WITH THIBGS YOU NEED TO SWIPE UP ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SCREEN. Since I skipped the tutorial it is very possible I missed this, however it would be a lot more user friendly if there was simply an interact button. ### 2/5 — A solid game that’s in no way tweaked for mobile *2020-11-16, version 2.1* For context, I’ve beaten the original Gungeon several hundred times on PC and unlocked everything, so this isn’t “game is too hard“ whining. Though the controls working as well as they do on a touchscreen is admirable, the sheer amount of enemies, bullets, and precision required on such a small phone screen makes later levels feels like you’re not fighting the game, but rather fighting the way you’re having to play it. I’m sure it’s totally possible to soldier through if you want to invest a ton of time and effort, but a few options to make it more accessible would go along way — even just modifiers to make the game run a bit slower would help massively when first learning boss patterns, or experimental settings to increase sprite sizes for visibility. It’s a good game — it’s just not a good game for mobile if you aren’t first and foremost a mobile gamer. ### 2/5 — Great game but major Bugs that need fixing *2020-01-04, version 1.1.4* I would give it 5 starts but I want the issues seen at least. This has just started happening recently but every single time I load up the game and start playing it freezes the game, and the only thing I can do is pause and restart it. Which causes me to lose all my progress on that run. It only happens mid to the end of run when I try talking a Npc to buy something.. if you could fix this that it’d be great because at this point there no point of playing if you can’t because it’s broken. Other then that the game is amazing I love it ### 2/5 — Handles like crap *2019-10-12, version 1.1.3* This game is fun, besides the fact that the game likes the spawn 7 or more enemies on a platform small enough to literally dodgeroll across. Oh, did I mention the game does the shooting for you? That means you’re going to miss ALL of your shots. Yes, all of them. You can’t lead your shots because of the mobile limitations of the game. Oh and the game is stuck in blessed mode, which is boring enough but also, you can reach level 8 kalibur level and still get a gun as bad as the klobber. Level 8 is a level you get to by not getting hit for a long time - the game is supposed to reward you for it. The klobber’s a comedically bad weapon that wont kill a bat (flies essentially). Anyway, have fun! Try not to dodgeroll into an enemy (you will)! ### 3/5 — Really enjoy the game but *2021-12-27, version 2.1* This game is great, amazing graphics, runs so smooth, but for some reason the moving control seems wonky, it constantly seems to get me killed, sometimes as I’m moving I feel like it stops working completely for a second, I have a 13 Pro Max, so like I said the performance is great, I’m just not understanding why it feels as I cannot move well, the jumping and rolling controls feel fine though, the slow motion makes it slightly easier to plan where you want to go. ### 3/5 — Not good enough, yet. *2020-03-05, version 1.1.4* I would like to state that Enter the Gungeon is one of my favorite games of all time. The gameplay, references, art style, and over all detail is incredible. Unfortunately I don’t feel this game lives up to its predecessor. The core gameplay seems like it could be very fun under the right circumstances but it doesn’t feel well executed. My rating is only so high because I know Dodgeroll will probably continue working on the game long after initial release and I believe they will fix all of the problems I have dealt with while playing the game. Despite this negative review I am really looking forward to seeing the final product, and will likely change my review once I have seen these fixes and additions made. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Great Game All Around *2022-11-13, version 2.1* This game is very entertaining, and after having previously played Enter the Gungeon on a different device, I can conclude that y’all who made these games have a knack for puns. And I must respect you for it, as puns are my favorite thing. I wish I had more to say on this amazing game but I can’t remember much, I just like it, the designs of the enemies and characters, the play style, and the mechanics. Would recommend. ### 5/5 — Great rougelike with some bugs *2022-11-12, version 2.1* Black hole gun doesn’t pull in enemies like it does in the trailer Something I would like is a minigame practice mode where you could play just desert golf, winchesters original game, and helmet kicko. Maybe have an arcade machine in the bar in underbreach unlock after you play all the games and unlock the bar (maybe make it a reference to the house of the gun dead while your at it) ### 5/5 — Amazing Game, co-op please?UwU *2021-07-08, version 2.1* This is an absolutely amazing game, and I love it very much. I love it so much that I, in fact, want my friends to play it. I love it so much that I want to play it while my friends are playing it. I love it so much I want to play it with my friends while they are playing it. Especially during COVID this would be a great feature and something I would literally pay cash money for, thanks for a great game! ### 5/5 — Best Apple Arcade app out there *2021-05-05, version 2.1* Honestly your not going to get anything better than this right now I have played for 27 hours and beat ever charter at least once and unlocked every hat and costume. love the old look and the fast pace and the feeling when you dodge every shot form the boss if so good. Can’t wait to see if we will get more charters in the future ### 5/5 — I’m hecking love this game *2021-02-18, version 2.1* I really love the characters, it is so cool, and I even beat 5 stages or is it 6 stages, I don’t know, but it is way beyond awesomeness, and my cousin got a new game call enter the Gungeon on the Xbox one. I also beat 12 bosses, and the final boss that is the last dragun, I haven’t beaten 3 of those bosses yet, but I want to know what it is, and I like those random guns, and those powerful guns. And those enemies are so cool that they can shoot or attack or fly or anything, maybe. And I also mastered the tutorial boss for good, and I have unlocked training for the enemies to come out, and I have unlocked new guns and items that will make me powerful, and I like the taste of violence, and I like to give my rate a 5. ### 5/5 — Flintlocks & Fixes *2020-11-28, version 2.1* I’m writing this review as somewhat of a follow-up of my previous review, where I had promised that if most of the bugs that had somewhat marred this game had been fixed, I would reconsider my review. Now, with the recent updates, you have completely fixed some issues I had with the game during my original review, plus some things I didn’t even know I wanted fixed. The general changes to the shop greatly improved the flow of gameplay, for example. All-in-all, this game is fantastic, especially for mobile standards. Great job, devs! ### 5/5 — My old review disappeared, so here’s another one *2020-11-28, version 2.1* I have played the enter the Gungeon loved that game, then this came out. I had to have it. At first the game was hard but not hardcore, and the dragun was fair now he is so much tainkier and his attacks are so much faster, if the speed went down then the dragun wouldn’t take ten years to kill because he KEEPS USING THE STINKING BACKGROUND ATTACKS. the attacks themselves are fine it’s just the speed that’s the problem. My rant aside this game is too good and I highly recommend it, just expect to die. A lot. ### 5/5 — Straight Up Having A Great Time *2020-11-04, version 2.0.6* I love the game and how reminiscent of Enter The Gungeon it is. One little problem though, sometimes when I start the game I get the message “Active Game Center ID has changed” which then quickly flashes to “Error reading save file, the application will now close.” I’ve found that the only way to fix this is to tap the “Ok” button on the first message before it gets replaced by the second. But still an epic game that deserves the 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Has a little something for everyone 😎 *2020-06-22, version 2.0.6* Seriously an excellent follow-up to enter the gungeon. My only real complaint is that there are times when the difficulty seems to disproportionately peak and the pacing seems relatively inconsistent due to that. I love the mechanics and gameplay introduced and I am so happy the gameplay is actually better and more challenging than the previous title. Great work to the dev team! ### 5/5 — I REALLY ENJOY THE GAME! *2020-06-12, version 2.0.6* Been playing the game for awhile now and i have to say its really fun if you like alil difficulty and strategy to your games. Im hooked on trying to clear all the character routes in the game. Havent unlocked everything of course but thats the fun of playing over again to get better and better. I dont waste my tokens on hats since theres really no support from them other than wasting your tokens for looks. I will point out that whoever was the creator or developer who made the “quad laser” i specifically want you to know that your an IDIOT! Why would a SUPER SLOW square be useful in any situation especially when u stick it with me during a boss level! Either re-create it or trash it all together. Its the worst weapon of them all in my opinion and i never wanted it, but i was forced to buy it to clear the store for new weapons. Other than that dumb mistake the game is really enjoyable and look forward to any updates on this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
