Nikki of GameGrin reviews Exit the Gungeon, writing: "Pitched as an arcade-style, spin-off of 2016s Enter the Gungeon, this new title from developer Dodge Roll tasks players with escaping the now collapsing Gungeon. In order to do this, players will need to ride a series of ridiculous elevators as they climb their way out to safety. Along the way they encounter numerous foes, bosses, friends and even the odd mini-game. It’s everything that players have come to love about Enter the Gungeon but now in a new perspective as the action switches to side-scroller rather than top-down for this ride."
XBA says: A drastic shift from the first outing, but Exit the Gungeon still has its unique essence.
From PSU: "A sufficiently wacky and charismatic follow up experience to Enter The Gungeon and an enjoyable roguelite game. Regrettably, due to a number of flaws, it can't be appraised as the sequel fans would have hoped for. Exit The Gungeon probably won't win over any genre newcomers either. However, for existing fans longing for another crawl in the Gungeon, Exit The Gungeon just about does enough to be worth a look."
PP: Exit the Gungeon is a worthy successor to the fantastic Enter the Gungeon and one that fans of the original should enjoy. The cycling of weapons makes it unique, and at times frustrating, but exciting throughout. It's not as deep as the original but manages to maintain most of the charm and fun that made the first one such a gem.
