Dodge Roll Games is making a huge push for its tricky roguelike shooter Enter the Gungeon today. Along with extras like a fast-paced Turbo mode, table sliding, and lots of new content and helpful improvements, the game is half price on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
Today’s free Advanced Gungeons & Draguns expansion also smooths out the difficulty for people like me who love the idea of Enter the Gungeon but don’t love struggling in its early portions.
Even if you aren’t a gungeoneer, you should watch this slick animation.
You can find the full patch notes below, but at a glance, here are a few key additions that’ll help out.
- New guns, items, enemies, shrines, NPCs, rooms, and secrets
- Save hearts for later when at full health – pick them up at the new heart dispenser located at every floor entrance and shop (note: stored hearts are reset each floor!)
- Added a new gameplay option to increase movement speed when not in combat (for those who wanna go fast but don’t want to be shot at fast)
- Added a new loot profile which improves shop contents, increases room reward frequency, and tweaks item/chest drop rates to be more generous, particularly early in runs. This is enabled by default but can be changed in the options menu.
- Removed locked shops
These bullet points alone should make for a more enjoyable dungeon-crawling experience.
“This update was a long time coming, so we thank you for your patience with us,” said Dodge Roll. “Hopefully, whatever comes next won’t have as much time between announcement and release. There will be bugs, and as usual we will work as quickly as possible to fix them.”
