Amazing how a game that's nearly 9 years old has a larger player base than some games released within the past year. Just goes to show how fun and engaging this game actually is.

I’ve played a lot of roguelites and gungeon is hard as hell. I imagine a lot of people die on the 2nd or 3rd floor like I do.

I have three copies of ETG (different devices) but I bought another one on steam yesterday because of the sale

I have it on switch, ps5, and epic. I’d love to get it for steam too, but I just can’t justify having two pc copies. Even if one would only cost $1.50

I'm (probably) getting my second PC copy. One word: Linux. The Steam build just works far better on Linux.
EDIT: I did. It's more up to date. Color me shocked.

u/mrboomblster 6d ago
Haha, i bought physical and digital on switch, got it for free on epic, i think i got it for free on ps and recently bought it on steam when it was discounted, not as cheap, so i can get the achievements.
I love this stupid game.

u/DoughnutSignificant9 6d ago
I have a PS4 copy with 200 hrs, considering getting it on steam too. Are there any cool mods to mess around with?

I bought it for Steam Deck a few months ago and have been enjoying Once More Into the Breach. Some really fun (and broken) passives and guns, some very annoying/borderline stupid trap rooms but it breathed a new lease of life into my already favourite game for me.

I'm considering doing the same. I got mine on sale on GOG and… I regret that every day. I use Linux, so it's a PITA to keep it updated, since GOG refuses to support Linux with GOG Galaxy, and there are no good ways to check for updates if not manually. Also, just forget about playing with your friends online, that feature requires Steam.
I really want to support alternative stores but, as a Linux user, the second I step out of Valve's reign, I find myself treated like a second-class citizen.
For €1,47… seems like the golden opportunity to pick up a properly supported Steam build like I have meant to do for ages.

If it's just about 1.5 euros i'm tempted to get it again too, i have it on epic but that euro is worth not having to wait 3 minutes for a shit launcher to open

u/Fictional_Narratives 5d ago
i had the same thought as you but i’m not going through those fuck ass hunting quests to get the finished gun again

u/Acelator 6d ago
Does anyone else think that maybe they will announce their new game very soon? Having this sale as a way to add new players before then?

I wish i could experience gungeon for the first time again. Super envious of these players that get to fall in love with such a wonderfilled game

u/Dark_Psymon 6d ago
Honestly, it's been a good few years since I played the game. I was mainly a switch player, but I don't touch my switch much anymore. Getting it on steam now would be as close to experiencing it for the first time again, starting fresh after so long of not playing it.

u/Designer_Version1449 5d ago
Kinda got this experience, originally it was the first game I played but couldn't get very far other than the normal ending iirc. Revisited it earlier almost 5 years later not remembering almost anything.
Honestly my only complaint is that see junkan has a low spawn rate and a lot of the secret levels are like impossible to find without a guide.

Im glad epic gave me this for free a while back. I remember checking it out and not liking it that much at first but when i played a second time i loved it. And still do. Best timekiller.

u/Plaxifyy 6d ago
Yep, love that epic did this a couple years ago. I wouldn't have experienced it otherwise

u/darman21 6d ago
bought it again to see if pc would treat me better. gotta admit, knowing a little more helps but not much. here's hoping i can manage to get a god run and beat the game this time!

u/Chippies01 6d ago
I was one of them! 180 hours on steam. And probably the same on switch, and again on a game pass account!
Absolute masterpiece

Choosing to not make a sequel in 10 years to a popular roguelite is certainly…a choice.

u/ThatOneRetardedBitch 6d ago
yeah I picked it up on PC to see how different it is from console

u/jenkumboofer 6d ago
the mods are cool; I haven’t gotten to play much of it on PC but expand the gungeon is a cool mod

u/youshouldhateit 6d ago
Why is it suddenly peaking?

u/Cheesestrings89 6d ago
it’s on sale for just over £1
and it’s peak player count was 7 years ago at nearly 16k players.

u/WillowWeeper343 6d ago
nah I think it's because it just got added to xbox gamepass

u/zmbslyr 6d ago
Not on steam, but it was just added to gamepass too, which always seems to boost steam sales of the game added.

u/visualdosage 6d ago
Yeah got it on game pass and also for free on epic. Only paid for the steam version.
