What people are saying
Split: some enjoy the spin-off, others find it a disappointing downgrade.
Many players see Exit the Gungeon as a fun but lesser spin-off of Enter the Gungeon, not a true sequel. One reviewer called it a good game and "fun, charming because of the source material" (R3). Another said it's "nowhere near as good as the first but still fun to pass time" (R20). [3][20]
Critics, per Wikipedia, gave the Switch version mixed or average reviews, and 45% of critics recommended it. Some players strongly dislike the game, calling it "a huge disappointment" (R30) and "terrible compared to Enter The Gungeon" (R34). Others note the mobile origins, with one saying "The fact that it was made for mobile explains a lot" (R36). [30][34][36]

Critics, per Wikipedia
Exit the Gungeon received "mixed or average reviews" for its Nintendo Switch version according to the review aggregator website Metacritic. OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 45% of critics. Nic Vargus of IGN disliked the constant swapping of guns, but said that the chaotic nature of each play through made the game fun. Jon Mundy of Nintendo Life rated the game a 7/10, saying it was a challenging action-platformer but lacked the "freewheeling imagination and tantalising sense of adventure" of Enter the Gungeon. Shacknews noted that the game was shorter than its predecessor and had less exploration, but considered it comparable in terms of combat…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the reason why I have little to no hope for Enter the Gungeon 2. This game feels like it was made in the back of a burning car on a laptop from 1989. I decided to get back into this game because of wanting to 100% it; however, in my past day or so of playing this game, I've managed to complete two runs. And you may ask yourself, "well, how's that a bad thing? It's a difficult game, you're not supposed to win every time." No. I haven't died at all in any of my previous runs I did…

neutral · AI labelView post →This game feels a lot more "random" than EtG get to floor 2 and have a item for 350 coin in the shop even if you haven't spent a single coin and perfected every boss up to that point you can't afford it get a quest for a npc item complete 2 runs without getting a single minigame for a "chance" to get the item its a fun little timewaster game especially if you enjoy achievement hunting but the content of this game is only available by endless grinding fueled by rng you see the content when the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a good game, and if you're a big fan of Enter the Gungeon, you'll *probably* appreciate it. Where Enter the Gungeon was like a well beloved TV series that ran for 12 fantastic seasons, Exit the Gungeon is like a made for TV movie that comes out years afterwards n' brings the crew back together. The vibe is off, it's not as good, but that's all right because you get to see the crew again. It's a decent game, much much shorter n' easier than Enter the Gungeon, but unlike Enter the Gungeon I…

neutral · AI labelView post →If there's one thing negative reviews of this game get right is the phrase: "This is not Enter the Gungeon." Because it isn't, it's a spin-off title originally released on mobile. As someone who spent countless hours fully completing Enter the Gungeon both achievement-wise and gun-wise on another platform, this game is just a shorter, compact variant of Gungeon gameplay that's related to vertical platforming. if it's not your favourite entry in the franchise, that's fine, but most of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking for more Enter the gungeon, this isnt it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like this game get's a bad rep despite being pretty obviously just a spin-off. It's nowhere near as good as the original but I also never expected it to be. It's fun, charming because of the source material and a decent bullet hell that has fun unlockables in the way we know and love. The worst I can say about this game is that I found it much more awkward with controller. Besides that, it's just a polished game that's playing it safe. There's nothing "out there" it's relatively short…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its......ok? As many others have said in other reviews, the gameplay of Enter the Gungeon does not translate very well to Exit the Gungeon. Unless you're getting this as a gift or on like 90% discount, pass on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game so easy that you can beat it and get a refund afterwards
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I definitely dislike this game. It's not Enter the Gungeon and it shows. The mobile roots make it very simplified in a bad way that eats your time. Pros are minimal: - Pretty graphics, newly designed animated backgrounds - New bosses - A scrap of continuity to the story - Gato Aquato The rest are pretty much Cons: - The game designed around randomly changing weapon and a very small arena with constantly spawning enemies and enviromental hazards - Weapon is really random, even if the Combo…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not enter the gungeon. It is not anything like etg. It does not do anything similar to etg. Is it bad? No. Is it amazing? No. Is it a game? Yeah, I guess it is
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game just simply does not compare with the first, the gameplay and the dodge roll are not ruined per say, but are infinitley lower quality. just but the first one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad game, quite fun actually. But as a follow up to one of the best Roguelikes of all time? it pales in comparison. If you want to play this after playing the original Gungeon, sure, but keep your expectations low. EDIT: After playing it and reading about it more, it's clear that this game was never even meant to be a fully fledged sequel to ETG, only a bite sized experience compared to it. And i honestly just feel bad for the devs at this point. People expected this game to be on the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want more Enter the Gungeon sprites, music and general vibes then this is the game for you. That being said, Exit the Gungeon is a buggy, simplified mess that takes blessed runs from the original game and forces them upon you. No more will you be creating game breaking builds with your favorite weapons, no, instead you will be stuck with a "blessed" starter gun that only improves as you perform better. Oh you found Omega Bullets and Alpha Bullets? Enjoy a Crestfaller that will become…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a huge disappointment in comparison to it's predecessor, dumbed down combat, repetitive gameplay and a complete lack of variety. This title feels like a shallow modernized version of the first game and while I get that it's supposed to be a small spin-off to Etg my issue comes from the fact that the "plot" takes place directly after the events of the first game, making it feel like a crappy sequel more than a mid side game. Playing this game felt like a total waste of time,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately, this doesn’t come close to what its predecessor did right. In 2D, the EtG formula just doesn’t translate well. The controls feel stiff, room layouts are cramped and the movement speed is very oddly tuned, everything feels a bit off. At times the camera perspective is genuinely disorienting and instead of skillful dodging it can feel like you’re just trying to keep up with the fking chaos. Mechanically, a lot of the systems feel more frustrating than fun. Blanks don’t feel…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is terrible compared to Enter The Gungeon, an absolute embarrassment. there is a reason that nobody in the community cares about this game. Its a mobile game for drooling freaks. Only good part of this game is that its price was 2$, which matches the quality of the game itself. I beat every character available in 6 hours. the chance system with swapping guns is terrible. The gun pool is not large enough after a few attempts to keep it interesting enough, and you are VERY likely to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got a few thousand hours in on Enter The Gungeon. Still play it and love it. Tried to play Exit some years ago on Switch, immediately quit out of disgust. Came back recently on Steam and chewed through every character's route, and am thoroughly convinced that this was a well-dressed creative failure issued forth to appease fans clamoring for more EnTG. Apologists for the game strawman nay-sayers via the argument "It's not EnTG" being refuted with "It's not supposed to be, they're different…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exit the Gungeon isn't as good as Enter the Gungeon, but you shouldn't expect it to be. It's a fun spinoff that costs less and is meant to be a shorter experience. I enjoy this game and I think Enter the Gungeon enjoyers might like it to if they give it a chance.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →kinda lame compared to enter the gungeon
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The fact that it was made for mobile explains a lot
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It really felt like a big downgrade from the Enter the Gungeon (that I absolutely loved) 4/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game took everything that was annoying in the "Enter" and left out the fun parts, while putting in new mechanics that never should be here.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bug involving one of the bosses has rendered the game unplayable for me. There is a 50% chance that a run will enter into a soft lock state that cannot be escaped from. A stain on the Enter the Gungeon name
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →maybe it was because i bought this game right after beating enter the gungeon, which may have made me way too good at video games to make me beat the game in so little time, so it kinda feels like there isn't enough content, still, the time i did spend playing the game was good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enter the gungeon is a game i have nothing but praise for genuinly my favorite game of all time wich im not gonna talk about it here but this game is a fundimentaly bad idea amd a complete misunderstanding of what made gungeon so amazing with genuinly horrble level and boss design that trully make it a drag with your weapon unconsetualy swaping to the worst sht possble at the most inconvienient moment. your combo is reset to zero by any damage taken and high combo doesnt even garantee better…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From the POV, to the "here your gun is random and changes constantly", to the "here's an elevator and one dodge roll will practically push you off the edge" nonsense, if I didn't love EtG, I'd get a refund for this. They came together, so I'll play the GOOD game of the two, and this...nah. Not worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the issue is that you are all treating it like a sequel when it says 'SPINOFF' in the description. it just takes place chronologically afterwards
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →...Why do people hate this game...?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the Bosses, Meowitzer, currently breaks the game. It just turns invisible and then you either take damage every other second and die, or nothing happens at all and the fight just can't continue. All you can do is restart the run then. Personally there was a streak where I ran into that boss like 10 times in a row which broke all of these runs which is highly frustrating. Beside that there are also minor visual glitches and major audio ones, where a whole host of sound effects just won't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its more Enter the Gungeon, but worse. Maps are all minuscle, enemies are constantly spawning, your weapon is always changing, getting damaged means a worse weapon and the platforming is a downgrade compared to the top view from the original. The difficulty starts a bit too high, the second boss is already a pain in the buttocks with the projectile spam. Since all levels are elevators, you have no room to dodge or plan your steps. Enemies barely got balanced to address this, so they…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly this game really failed at it's promise for me. Though to say it's a promise is like saying someone silently agreed to whatever you said and you just nodded in agreement. I personally never knew what the next installment would be in the series, but this is certainly not what I had in mind. This hardly feels like that game, and really does no justice for how good Enter The Gungeon ever was and still is. The game is fantastic, and easily one of my favorite games on steam, but this failed…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →'My disappointment is immense and my day is ruined.' Imagine all the things you liked about the first game being ripped out and scrapped while making every other aspect of the game WORSE.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →JUMP INSTEAD OF ROLLING. The game doesn't exactly tell you this, but it becomes way, way easier if you just jump instead of rolling most of the time. You get way more iframes as opposed to rolling, and it makes some of the bosses almost trivial. It's still not a great game, and it's not anywhere near as good as Enter the Gungeon, but I'd say I got $2 of fun out of it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If Enter the Gungeon is Game of Throne, Exit is the final season.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exit the Gungeon takes the chaotic insanity of Enter the Gungeon and turns it into a much faster and more arcade-style experience. Instead of exploring rooms and slowly clearing floors, the game focuses on nonstop vertical action while the Gungeon literally collapses around you. It feels more like a frantic bullet-hell platformer than a traditional roguelike dungeon crawler. At first the changes can feel strange if you loved Enter the Gungeon, but once you adjust to the faster pacing, the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's just too many problems to recommend this. 1: The game is too visually busy to make out where your character is. Half the time, I'm getting hit by something I don't even process. There is a slider to reduce background brightness, but I just so happened to get the Cannonballer x Beholder boss that is completely dark and bounces around while blending in with the background I just darkened, while shooting bright projectiles that'll blend in with the background if I undo the setting. 2:…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man this game disapointed me. I was really hoping for a sequel to enter the gungeon, where maybe you go from the bottom up or something like that. Not whatever this mobile port of a cluster ♥♥♥♥ is...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, I love how your gun keeps changing and each character's path is different. PS I do kinda wish they let you do a mode that you don't have the blessed gun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a disappointment. I like Enter the Gungeon, and I like Arcade-style run and gun platformers. I still think those two things could work together, but the execution here is just abysmal. Platformers need platforms, but most of the levels here are so flat and compact they make Smash's Battlefield look fancy. So instead of using movement to avoid bullets, you cheese the bullets with jump immunity. It's not hard to do this, but it also isn't fun or engaging at all to just jump everywhere and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just play Enter.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I dont want to add yet another negative review here, I really loved Enter the Gungeon. This game disappointed me wanting more of THAT kind of game. I think devs should make the kinds of games THEY want to make, but Exit The Gungeon does not seem to a passion project, more like we need to push out something fast, so here it goes. I eagerly await enter the gungeon 2, I dont mind if they want to make it something different than ETG 1, but please, put some heart & soul into it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an arcade-style variant of Enter the Gungeon. If you're looking for more rogue-likes, this is probably not what you want. There's no sprawling maps with hidden secrets. Its a straightforward elevator ride with each level having its own gimmick. I do like arcade games, but they generally can't keep me for longer play sessions. Whenever you're bored, play a few minutes and move on - it's that kind of feeling.

neutral · AI labelView post →worse then enter but it 'aight
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nothing like the first game, but still pretty good. I honestly think that this game was just made to give an end to the main characters and other npc, wich i think is good but not really necessary. 7/10 i liked the art style
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In a vacum, it'd be a decent game, but knowing that Enter the Gungeon exists, I don't know why anyone would play this overall inferior spinoff instead of the OG. Pros: -Same wacky weapons, items and enemies, if an inferior version. - Sprite work is still good. Cons: - Massively simplified gameplay from the original.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HONESTLY this game is WAYYY to overhated. Its SOO GOOD and often times and should not be compared to enter the gungeon. Just because they made this game an autoscroller doesnt mean they took all the skill away. Although trying to 100% this game is BS and im probably never gonna do it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game held down by the greatness of enter the gungeon
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay so, here is the thing, I was fully aware that this was a spin of that is supposed to and does play very different from enter the gungeon. I do not dislike it for that, I dislike it because I simply don't find this new playstyle any fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nowhere near as good as the first but still fun to pass time, worth it if on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not as fluid as the original. The area is too small to dodge properly. Doesn't really change anything, except for worse.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For an originally mobile spin-off of the highly acclaimed Enter the Gungeon, the game, while lacking complexity and versatility offered by its predecessor, is still a really enjoyable experience. The new 2-dimensional style of gameplay is an interesting yet overall simplified take on combat and movement, which is most noticeable in regard to dodging, which has become incredibly forgiving in Exit the Gungeon. Mostly unique character stages and two ways to interact with weapons - Blessed and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exit the Gungeon is a good game, but it doesn't feel like a true equal to Enter the Gungeon. I suppose this is mainly due to Exit being designed as a mobile game spin off first with PC as an afterthought. Still though there is a lot of fun to be had with Exit. At first I didn't like the gun system due to the random guns you were given, but after getting used to it I really enjoy how it keeps me on my toes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →could have been better if you are here becouse you like enter the gungeon gameplay those game are fundamentally different
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →first impressions. not liking it. hate the up and down game controls. I wish they had kept the free controls in the first game, it was more open and made the movements more satisfying to play at and more fun. and no im not saying its garbage this game, im was just not so fond of the movements and wish they had kept it like it was from the first game. plus all the little details from the first game, not really seeing it from this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a very different type of game from Enter the Gungeon. I think its pretty fun, but you shouldn't go in with the highest expectations. It feels more like a high quality mobile game (which it is).
