![]() From there, use the drop-down to choose the beta branch titled “HelloToArmsBeta.” Close the window and XTG should start auto-updating on Steam (if you have that turned on). You can access it by right-clicking on Exit the Gungeon in your Steam Library, and going to Properties. An important note: this beta does not include everything we will be releasing with Hello to Arms, but it does include the biggest, systemic changes that require the most testing. Because of this, we have opened up a beta branch on Steam for those of you who are interested to try it out, right now. Having said all of that, these are major changes and while we have done our best to balance and debug them thus far, we want to make sure that they are very solid before we unleash them upon every Exit the Gungeon player. It's not necessarily a game-breaker, but it seems to artificially or unfairly inflate the difficulty.Hopefully these new features result in a more fun game for everyone. ![]() This can lead to frustration as the game randomly becomes harder or easier depending on what your gun transforms into. Sometimes the gun was so bad that I was unable to hit some of the enemies I was aiming at. There were a few times where I was fighting some tough enemies who were above and below me and my weapon changed into one that was ill-suited for that encounter. While it's nice to never run of ammo, the constant gun-switching means you never get to hang onto a gun you like or one that you need in a certain situation. The choice to have the gun be permanently blessed is also a mixed bag. For the rest of us who don't have lightning-quick reflexes it might take longer, but it's unquestionably a shorter title. If you happen to be a Gungeon master, you could probably run through the entirety of Exit in about two hours. ![]() This leads to a quicker game that can be beat in considerably less time. This is intended to be an easier, more trimmed down experience that was clearly designed for mobile devices, which means a lot of the mechanics and features have been stripped out or dumbed down. Rinse, lather, repeat five times until the Gungeoneer has made it out alive.Īs good as this is, it definitely feels shallow when compared to Enter The Gungeon. But aside from that, a typical level has you fight enemies, enter an area where you'll find one treasure or speak with an NPC, then battle more enemies until you reach a boss, before finally getting to catch your breath at the shop if you happen to make it there. There's still the option to purchase new guns and items from Ox and Cadence by using Hegemony Credits collected in every run, and there's plenty of NPCs to rescue during your violent escape. There's actually very little exploration in Exit The Gungeon. This means you'll cycle through different guns throughout the levels which eliminates the need to find ammo. You no longer find new guns in chests as the Sorceress now enchants your weapon at the start of each run. Each Gungeoneer has their own set of levels to fight through which makes it worthwhile to play as all of them.Ī lot of the features from Enter The Gungeon have been simplified for this more bite-sized title. Having to shoot, dodge, and jump all about the screen becomes a difficult but entertaining challenge to overcome. ![]() This makes the game feel more like a vertically scrolling, 2D shmup with some platforming elements thrown in as you can now jump (which is referred to in-game as ascending or descending dodge-rolling.) Thankfully, Exit The Gungeon retains the original's excellent combat.
