Twitter: has been steadily shaping his writing, networking, and production skills for over a decade. I may be missing it but it seems like slowdown is completely removed when using a controller, so try this style of play for a more frantic experience. Players are able to deliberately aim with the right stick, so targeting is tighter. Playing Exit the Gungeon feels completely different when using a controller. It’s pretty wild that I’m able to play Monster Hunter World on my phone, even if it is a novelty since I only tried this while in my own home. A recent update made connecting the controller super easy and the Remote Play app also got an update. I’m still not exactly sure what it is supposed to do and I refuse to pour through wikis to find out.Īgain, I prefer touch controls, but I have been experimenting a lot with using my DualShock4 on my phone. The baseball bat weapon in particular always got me killed.

There are some that are straight duds and getting several in a row can ruin a run. I’m also not a huge fan of how the game randomly cycles through various weapons. That said, I made it to the Dragun on four different occasions, though I would still consider this system a point of criticism that could be improved. I did find that in higher levels of play my character would target things that didn’t make much sense or over-under-correct trajectory, resulting in a lot of misses. Letting the game shoot enemies automatically is tough to get used to. I was used to rolling all about, which is an option, but I found much more success in using the slowdown powers. As a fan of Enter the Gungeon, the idea of slowing down time felt weird.

One thumb rests on the left and is used for player movement, the other on the right is used for flicking the direction of a dodge or holding for slowing down time and directing where a jump will land. Touch controls are actually intuitive and work well enough that I almost prefer it.
