![]() ![]() This time, reports suggest that the Robot has a new passive called Blown Fuse. In the first game, the Robot’s passive was Battery Bullets, granting it immunity to electrified water, caused water to become electrified, and increased accuracy. ![]() However, as most seem to unlock the Cultist and the Robot around the same time, without completing the Cultist’s climb, it’s likely that Bullet is key to accessing the Robot. Unlike the Cultist, players have to escape with Bullet as well.Īnother vague suggestion is to escape with any five characters. Much like the Cultist, players will only unlock the Robot after escaping the Gungeon with all four main characters. The change in the game’s set-up and progression ultimately made unlocking characters easier, if a bit repetitive. Unlocking the Robot appears unclear, as there are some mixed reports dating back to the original run on Apple devices. Technically, unlocking the Robot can be done around the same time as unlocking the Cultist, but it requires one extra step. The Robot is the third and final unlockable character in Exit the Gungeon. The Robot unlocks in the same way as the Cultist and the Bullet before it in Exit the Gungeon. ![]() I’ll still be following it through its post-launch journey, however, and Gungeon fanatics will find plenty of references to smile at.Gone are the days of dragging a television to the right location to access certain characters. Later on levels get more unique, like a series of challenge rooms that just happens to be connected by an elevator hub, but getting to that point can be plodding.Įxit the Gungeon is an interesting experiment and a clever way to keep the series going without copying what’s already been done but along the path to mobile, some crucial elements of the DNA of the franchise were lost. Unlike other roguelikes where you can rush ahead and avoid the slow start if you know what you’re doing, you’re at the mercy of the elevator ride. Rinse and repeat until you…exit the gungeon. The flow involves taking an elevator up a shaft, battling waves of enemies along the way, stopping at an occasional trap-filled room, fighting the odd boss at the end of a sequence, then buying items at a shop. If possible, go for the latter approach, though note that full button binding is coming in a later patch, so you’re at the mercy of the default settings. By connecting a controller you’ll unlock the full real-time experience, which operates like a 2D twin-stick shooter. If you opt for the touch control scheme Exit will take care of most of the heavy lifting: auto-shooting and pausing the game with a sort of bullet time effect when you dodge (complete with a little aiming reticle). It’s very arcadey, good for a breezy half-hour-or-less run, and lacking some of the depth inherent in Gungeon‘s debut by design. The “blessed” mechanic in which you’re granted a new gun periodically is permanent, preventing the need to swap weapons. Both jumping and falling down platforms is considered “dodging,” on top of the existing horizontal roll. It’s endearing until it isn’t, which in this case is a little more often than its predecessor due to some repeating enemy models. If you’re not familiar with it, this is an irreverent world full of snappy, sarcastic NPCs, enemies shaped like bullets, and tons of cute things that want to eat your face off. While Enter proper could have been very much playable on mobile thanks to the new controller update, Exit is more like a bite-sized version with the same aesthetic, and part of the same charm. What was once a roguelike is now a Super Crate Box…like. MSRP: Part of Apple Arcade ($4.99 a month), $9.99 (Switch, PC) Uniquely, Exit is actually part of the initial launch offering for Apple’s new Arcade subscription model, but it probably could have stood up on its own. I mean it pretty much cemented itself as one once the arcade cabinet was unveiled at E3 this year, but now it’s officially official with a cleverly named mobile follow-up: Exit the Gungeon. It’s hard to believe, but the relatively recent Enter the Gungeon is now officially a franchise. ![]()
