(A little luck doesn't hurt, either.) Rescue mission Everything is doable, as long as the player is willing to study the patterns and learn the mechanics. Nothing that Exit (or Enter, for that mattter) puts forward is unfair. Like Enter, Exit's boss battles will come across as hard for the first few battles, but success in these games isn't about leveling up or finding the right gun. Enemies have recognizable patterns and the randomized boss fights are both whimsically wacky and crushingly challenging. Outside of that, much of Exit runs on the best combat elements of its predecessor. It especially stings in Exit, because death means starting all the way back at the bottom. While getting through the game largely depends on skill, this throws in an RNG element that can sap the fun out of the game if it kicks in at the wrong time. This is one of the more undesirable elements of Exit, as it becomes possible to get a less-powerful (or even a total dud) gun when there are numerous enemies on-screen or during a frantic boss battle. The other thing to note is that the player's gun will frequently change automatically as the action progresses. It doesn't get easier as the game progresses, especially with the modes of transportation getting shabbier. The first thing to note is that there isn't much room to maneuver, with only a short elevator shaft to work with. Namely, the transition to 2D now means there's a jump button and it can also help dodge bullets.Īfter a friendly tutorial session, it's time to jump into an elevator shaft and take on a cavalcade of enemies, many looking like they came right out of Enter the Gungeon. The main principle of avoiding bullet hell barrages of enemy fire with the dodge roll mechanic is still in place, just with a few minor differences. Those who have played Enter the Gungeon now need to adjust to shooting along a 2D plane, a transition that Dodge Roll pulls off well. There's no time for exploration now, which is the narrative reason for Exit the Gungeon's shift from a top-down dungeon crawler to a straight-up Contra-style arcade shooter. The Gungeon itself has been through such a strain over the course of the last game that it's now falling apart, so the idea is to make a daring escape before the whole thing comes down. It starts off by briefly recapping players on how they got here without spoiling the finer details of Enter the Gungeon's ending.
Going downĮxit the Gungeon takes place in the immediate aftermath of Dodge Roll's last game. They're both incredibly difficult games that still feel like a good time, no matter how often you die. They do share one thing in common, though. For what it is, Exit is a different kind of fun romp than its predecessor. Exit the Gungeon is a smaller, but fairly different animal. If this sounds like more Enter the Gungeon, that's not entirely the case. Well, now can you escape? Yes, after all of trouble of getting in, now it's time to get out in Dodge Roll's follow-up effort, Exit the Gungeon. Congratulations! Not everybody can claim success with Devolver Digital and Dodge Roll's last roguelike outing. And not only that, you've somehow survived all of the trials and tribulations contained within.
