Exit the Gungeon Is Sidescrolling Hair-Trigger Chaos – Review in 3 Minutes

Recommended Videos

Exit the Gungeon is a shoot-‘em-up dungeon crawler by Dodge Roll and sequel/spin-off of 2016’s Enter the Gungeon. The top-down perspective has been replaced with a side view and various gameplay tweaks.

The game does translate the hair-trigger chaos of bullet hell to a 2D sidescroller, but it’s not a perfect landing. While the highly skilled will get the most out of the mechanics, a bit too much is stacked against you and left to chance, making it less fun to attempt to meet the challenge. The game was released to Apple Arcade last September, and is now available on PC and Nintendo Switch for $9.99.
