Bullets are constantly flying, you only have three hearts, and your weapons change so quickly that there is little time to get adjusted to them. There is no mincing words here: Exit is a hard and punishing game. The most glaring issue of Exit the Gungeon is its accessibility.

Losing due to random chance is never a good feeling, and during my time with the game it occurred for me more than once. The wide range of weapons available is really impressive, but getting a useless weapon, like the charge shot or the egg launcher, can completely destroy your run. In concept, this is a really neat idea, but the execution boils down to random chance. Players are enchanted at the beginning of a run, and this forces their gun type to randomly shuffle between all the available options every thirty seconds. However, Exit handles the weapon system in its own way. The core mechanic of Enter makes its return-the abundance of different guns the player can utilize. The goal is simple: ride the elevator to the top of the Gungeon while shooting everything in sight. However, you can also jump to mitigate all damage from bullets while in the air. The player can still aim in 360 degrees, as well as dodgeroll to avoid attacks. Unlike the top-down view of the original, Exit takes place on a 2D plane.

The most obvious change is the difference in perspective. There is an arcade-like feel to Exit, much more than other roguelike games.

It is clear from the outset that Exit the Gungeon is very different compared to Enter the Gungeon.
