#EXIT THE GUNGEON WIKI SERIES#

Crooks presented the name Enter the Gungeon to his fellow team members, and they fleshed out the game's lore over a lunch meeting and then spent the next few weeks to prototype the game mechanics. According to developer Dave Crooks, he had been listening to the soundtrack to the game Gun Godz by Vlambeer, and the name 'gungeon' came to him the next day. Development ĭevelopment on Enter the Gungeon started in 2014, with four Mythic Entertainment employees leaving the company to fulfill their own project just before the company would shut down later that year.

In the game's 'A Farewell to Arms' update, a new game mode, Rainbow Mode, assures that each level will contain one rainbow colored chest with a collection of guns in it, but the player can only select one gun from those, and no other chests will be offered this mode was inspired by self-regulated gameplay popularized within the game's community. Once rescued, these characters take residence at the Breach, a safe level above the Gungeon, and where the player, prior to starting a new playthrough, can spend a type of in-game currency earned from boss fights to permanently unlock special items that will then have a chance of appearing within the Gungeon for all subsequent playthroughs. Īs the player progresses through multiple playthroughs, they may encounter non-player characters that can be rescued from the Gungeon. At the end of each floor, a boss awaits the player beating the boss grants the player a gun or item and currency to spend at shops and unlocks the next floor. The game features over 300 different guns and items that can be combined to achieve more powerful effects called 'Synergies' that were added in the 'Advanced Gungeons & Draguns Update'. To defeat enemies, the player must use guns, which can be found in chests, won by defeating bosses, or bought at shops scattered around the floors in the Gungeon. The player has a limited number of 'blanks' for each floor that can be used to eliminate all current projectiles and dealing 10 damage to all enemies in that room, certain items add buffs to 'blanks'.

The player may dodge attacks by performing a dodge roll, which was inspired by the Souls series of video games, and are invulnerable during the action, or alternatively flip tables and use them as covers, although tables can be destroyed if they are shot at. Each room contains a set of enemies, which vary in strength, endurance, and attack behavior, where the attack can range from simple, straightforward shots to a complicated mixture of shots fired at the same time. While the rooms are pre-defined, the constellation of rooms in a floor, the enemies that appear in the rooms, and treasure are procedurally generated.

While the player descends the Gungeon, they are set to go through multiple floors, each with a random number of rooms in it. A second player is able to join in for co-op mode and control a unique fifth character, the Cultist. The player chooses one of four protagonists named the Marine, Convict, Pilot, and Hunter, all of whom have different special abilities, such as calling for support or lockpicking chests. Enter the Gungeon is a bullet hell shooter with roguelike elements.
