OUR FAVOURITES

Can you survive the Gungeon?

Wield incredible weapons – and dodge, dodge, dodge!

A life-changing treasure lies at the bottom of the Gungeon, but reaching it will take nerve, skill and lots of weird weapons. Originally released in 2016 for PC, Mac and console, the riotous roguelike Enter the Gungeon blasts onto iPhone and iPad in all its randomised, action-packed glory. Here’s what we find heavenly about its bullet-hell hallways:


What’ll you find in the next room? Probably bad news. Look alive, Gungeoneer!

Wild weapons

You never know what you’ll find each time you step foot in the Gungeon, but chances are it’ll excel at taking out foes. You’ll discover everything from a standard-issue rifle to the experimental Elimentaler: a gun that encases enemies in cheese. Pretty gouda!


Absurd adversaries

The Cult of the Gundead isn’t keen on getting turned into Swiss, however. All sorts of bullet-shaped baddies stand between you and fortune, including massive bosses like the slithering Ammoconda and the Gatling Gull – a mean raven that transforms into a hulking bodybuilder.


That’s one buff bird.

Marvelous moves

With projectiles flying at you from every direction, dexterity is key to survival. A handy dodge roll is your best friend – it lets you evade shots and float across chasms. Surrounded? Flip tables to create impromptu cover, or unleash a Blank to temporarily clear the area of bullets.


Complete control

Customisable touch controls make getting a handle on all this action easy. Tweak button placement and toggle auto-aim – or connect a gamepad and get physical. Whatever helps you reach the Gungeon’s floor!
