other, IGN enjoyed the pop culture references, designs, and sound effects of the weaponry. The difficulty of the game was frequently mentioned. Destructoid said that the enemies of the lower floors were very challenging, and PC Gamer called the bosses "the hardest things I've ever encountered." The Escapist found the learning curb of the game's mechanics to be generally fair, but considered some of the enemies and bosses frustrating. While previously yearning for easier levels of difficulty, Electronic Gaming Monthly considered it helpful for teaching players how to improve their skills. Likewise, both Rock Paper Shotgun and Nintendo World Report considered their troubles with gameplay to be the result of a lack of skill, and accredited the game for not having its difficulty be based upon an imbalance of mechanics. Sales Enter the Gungeon sold more than 200,000 copies within its first week across all platforms, with Steam Spy suggesting that 75% of these sales were made on Steam. By January 2017, the game had sold more than 800,000 units across all platforms, according to Devolver Digital. Total sales across all platforms exceeded 3 million by January 2020. Sequel and spin-off A sequel, Exit the Gungeon was developed by Dodge Roll and originally released for iOS devices through Apple Arcade on September 19, 2019, Whereas Enter the Gungeon has the player attempt to reach the lowest level of the Gungeon, Exit the Gungeon requires the player to escape from the Gungeon as it is collapsing. The game plays similarly to Enter the Gungeon, but is based on a platform game rather than a top-down dungeon crawler. In 2019, the arcade spin-off Enter the Gungeon: House of the Gundead was announced, and was released in 2022.
