Controls can get frantic at times, but in all the Switch is built very well for games like this. Great to play on the big screen and just as entertaining on the small one. Right, well the Nintendo Switch version works magically well with Exit The Gungeon's format. Reviewing it on the Nintendo Switch as well.I mean, you don't want to throw that cute little handheld across the room, do you? It's still fun, but it can really cause some rage-quitting moments if you don't have the chops for this sort of thing.

As for the normal, I-can-barely-catch-a-butterfly-in-Animal-Crossing folk-well, uh.maybe this one isn't for you. Tenacious players with cat-like reflexes will find this title to be a cakewalk. Now I mentioned that Exit The Gungeon is no slouch in this department, and that holds true.

Some look cute, some look just plain hilarious, but all are out to stop you in your tracks, and won't hesitate to do so.ĭifficulty. Enemies have a nice comical style about them too-nothing too repetitive (not like you'd notice with all the firefight on your screen), but some really visually well designed baddies. They're all just different enough to make figuring out who you sit well with completely worth it. Each one with their own perks and weapons which leads to a good development in the player's own personal style. You get your choice of a small handful of characters. As with most roguelites, you'll find yourself in the midst of some nice upgrades after small successes-something to sweeten the deal a bit and give you a false sense of hope that you'll actually see light of day out of the dungeon. Depending on how you like to play, twin sticks will either make this a easier feat or a more difficult endeavour. The screen will fill with potential death, which means dodging will be a skill demanding to be sharpened.

Plopped in the middle of a dungeon you're told to escape-well, that's it, isn't it? Get out of the dungeon! Easy as walking through the front door though? I'd beg to see myself out of the mayhem that's about to ensue.Īs with any classic bullet hell (if you're not familiar with the genre), you'll be flanked left, right and centre by a barrage of enemy fire. Thin skinned need not apply.you will die, and you will die a lot. Permadeath looms-this will be your first clue as to whom you're dealing with here. If you find yourself a fan of roguelites, it's going to come to no surprise as to how the cards aren't stacked in your favour. Exit The Gungeon is fantastic, brutal and we've got it in the palm of our hands with the Nintendo Switch version. Devolver Digital seems to always bring the goods to the table, and I'm pleased to report that Exit The Gungeon is no different! A pixel roguelite shooter that peppers in a heavy bit of bullet hell, this title will do all it can to make you bend your knee to it.
