Wizard with a Gun

Wizard with a Gun received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.^[9] PC Gamer said that while it "expand[s] on the groundwork" of Enter the Gungeon, the combat "feels unpolished". They said the "tight gameplay loop" of incremental progress toward better loot and crafted weapons kept them "persistently engaged", though.^[2] IGN called it "an entertaining co-op action game" but said that the cooperative multiplayer made the game a bit too easy given how much bonus time could be harvested from the increased number of chaos monsters. They also found some of the magic bullets to be uninteresting or underpowered, and they called the ending "an extremely anticlimactic affair".^[3] TechRadar praised how customizable the wizards are, the different ammo types, and the exploration, but they felt the emphasis on crafting took away from the combat. They also felt the maps were a sometimes too large and said the game balance could be frustrating.^[10] Shacknews said it is "a competent shooter that has a lot of potential", but they criticized the controls, the way the lore was presented, and what they felt was a barren endgame.^[4] Hardcore Gamer felt Wizard with a Gun "doesn't live up to its full potential as a survival game" because the time limits cut down on the resource gathering and exploration. However, they praised the twin-stick combat, exploration, and customization, which they said "makes for an awesome journey".^[11]
