“Enter the Gungeon blasted onto the bullet hell dungeon crawler scene last year on PlayStation 4 and PC with Xbox One added to the arsenal earlier this year, with over 1.2 million copies sold to date. Dodge Roll worked with developer 22ndCentury Toys to bring Enter the Gungeon to Nintendo Switch without compromise and take advantage of the platform’s unique features including local co-op with each player using a Joy-Con
“It’s like Zelda with guns or whatever,” said Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker. “Maybe it’s more like ‘open carry Animal Crossing’ but just use whatever quote is going to get the fans hyped.”
Brave Gungeoneers will be armed to the teeth with hundreds of unique weapons and items for dangerous encounters with legions of gun-toting bullets. Handcrafted rooms combine to form procedurally generated dungeons and create a seamless new adventure as players unlock weapons, uncover secrets, and meet allies sympathetic to their struggle. There’s also an NPC that looks an awful lot like Link but let’s be cool and keep the lawyers out of it.
About the game
Enter the Gungeon is a bullet hell dungeon crawler following a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past. Select a hero [or team up in co-op] and battle your way to the bottom of the Gungeon by surviving a challenging and evolving series of floors filled with the dangerously adorable Gundead and fearsome Gungeon bosses armed to the teeth. Gather precious loot, discover hidden secrets, and chat with opportunistic merchants and shopkeepers to purchase powerful items to gain an edge.”
