Last week's game: Elite: Dangerous

Final Score: (10*2+9*0+8*4+7*1+6*3+5*3+4*0+3*0+2*0+1*2)/(2+0+4+1+3+3+0+0+0+2) = 6.27

Game to Discuss?

This week, let's discuss Enter The Gungeon, perhaps the quintessential indie sloppa:

  • Twin stick shooter

  • Roguelike

  • Published by Devolver Digital

  • Pixel art

  • Soy humor (though Bullet Kin wouldn't fly today)

  • Dodge rolls

Still a decently fun game, if those aren't instant turnoffs for you. Discuss below, and vote in the pinned comment.

Future game discussions:

August 18: Fortnite :zoomersoy:

August 25: Devil Daggers

September 1: Hollow Knight

September 8: Street Fighter IV

I enjoyed it but I found that the guns, while fun, didn't offer the same level of synergy and interaction that Isaac does. That's what I'll say it's missing, while it has better combat than Isaac, the rest of the gameplay is weaker.

I feel the same way too. It just doesn't have that spark of magic that Isaac has when you get a truly busted run going.

every modern console game is a "twin stick", and most of these games are played on PC anyway which doesn't have joysticks. Might be up there with MMO for worst name for a genre of all time

It's to set it apart from a regular shmup which is single stick, the stick doesn't have to be literal, a HitBox is still a stick.

The one thing that defines them is that you control both where your character is going AND where he looks.

It's within shmup, as I said in the first paragraph lmao. It's a not an r-slur label unless you can't abstract game genres from each other. Like anime games specifically referring to anime fighting games like guilty gear :marseyretard4pat:

I liked it but there was just something missing and I can't say what. Too slow progression, I think, but it's been a long time.

Honestly I felt the difficulty of each level to be too inconsistent. Also the bosses varied wildly with how fun they were to fight. Game was good for the time but so many better games exist now.
