Mine too. You're done if there aren't good chests in the first chamber which is rare (in which case I restart the game), but the pilot has the best chance of finding new weapons and passive items which can make a huge difference in the run. He can afford to risk losing brown chests with the lockpick and saving the keys (which he can buy cheaper) for the good chests. His sidearm is bad but enough to beat the first chamber.

[@jacksonholder2987]

[@QwertyChavez]

My favorite so far (don't have bullet or robot yet) is the pilot. And here's my reasoning: +Extra item slot is really useful, because you can carry the gunpowder and an item at the same time, or two items if you aren't trying to make the bullet. This also stacks with other storage capacity so you can hold three items after picking up only one. +The shop discounts, while certainly not the most useful, are still nice because all the money you save can buy another weapon or item by the end floors. +Silly walk cycle! -Lockpicks, while nice, are very up to luck. +If you clear a whole floor before using the lockpick, you can check to make sure there are no keys left, therefore giving you a 50% chance to get an item and a 50% chance that you can just break it and hopefully get something small. -Starter gun is garbage +You can get used to the starter gun after playing him for a while, although going back to other characters can be jarring, and vice versa. -Isn't a brown coat. +Looks cool. +Extra ammo is always nice. Just like the shop discount, it's not a hugely notacible change, so it gets overlooked and underappreciated. Overall, I think that the pilot is hated because his downsides are so obvious while his upsides are more miniscule and not as prominent. But after playing him for a while, the subtle differences are enough to make a better difference in a run. Edit: HOLY SHIT PILOT HAS A BROWN COAT AS AN ALT SKIN HE IS NOW THE BEST CHARACTER

[@harmgd]

I play co-op solo for a reason, and it's that adorable (and powerful) player 2 character, The Cultist. I'll go over all the benefits. Co-op mode makes all enemies have 40% more health to balance out the game. When your partner dies, all chests on the floor turn into "Revive Chests" that will revive your partner with full health. When your partner gets revived, be it opening a Revive Chest, beating the floor's boss or using the Friendship Cookie (The Cultist's starting active item) all of the chests return to their original rarity. Synergies are also shared between players. First, The Cultist's starting weapon is the middle ground in staring sidearms, not the best, not the worst but with the added damage up (mentioned later) it becomes the best of the starting weapons. Second, The Cultist's starting passive item, Number 2, gives them a 41% damage boost and a 2x speed boost. The 41% damage boost negates co-op mode's enemy buffs and basically gives The Cultist +1% damage. The speed up makes dodging and just getting around much easier. Third, in co-op mode, Lich's Eye Bullets (The Gunslinger's starting passive) works for both players, making The Cultist a powerhouse when paired up with the Gunslinger. Especially if you don't have friends and play co-op solo. Fourth and finally, The Cultist's past is the greatest thing in the entire game. It's a 1v1 duel against player 1. Also, need I add that The Cultist is adorable as hell?

Pilot is objectively the best character come mid/end-game. Between the lockpick giving you extra items, 10% more ammo on your guns, a second active item slot built in, and the shop discount (that really is mostly put towards buying more keys to get more chests), he ends up with far better gear overall in the end. Only other character I consider anymore is Convict, and that's if I'm just wanting to blitz through levels and not concern myself with actually exploring chambers.

[@tristanhendon7372]

Praetor Kamahl exactly, i dont get how you can say his downside is rng, in a game that is so rng you dont even know what each floors boss is, his starting gun is sucky but thats it for him, cheaper shop prices, two actives, and the option of a 50/50 chance of a free item at any point in the game regardless of keys

This video contains... **hollow knight music** OPINIONS

[@adanlopez6466]

1. Bullet: Cleaving paths through a bullet hell game almost feels like cheating. Add to that the ability to bump bellies with enemies without taking damage makes the bullet too good to pass up. 2. Pilot: I can't believe this guy gets so much crap because of his starter pistol. His double items, ammo capacity, and his ability to make the shopkeepers weak in the knees, makes him a bona fide champ. Also that lock pick is awesome, if I end up not finding a key for a chest or just don't want to waste your limited keys on a brown chest might as well give it a shot. If it doesn't work you can still break the chest open. 3. Marine: The accuracy/reload bonus is great. I almost always end up wasting the ammo supply early in the run when I find a decent item to replace it. 4. Convict: This was the first character I finished the fifth chamber with. The double damage perk really got me out of some tight spots when I was learning the ropes. 5. Huntress: Cute duo, but as a bonus that dog is pretty lackluster. Too often there is a run where I get nothing out of this little guy. The crossbow is ok, but not a selling point for me. 6. Robot: I killed it's past, but don't see much reason to play as this character again. If I need to make the game more difficult I'd rather just do daisuke's challenge with another character.

[@dotXyore]

Robot is very situational. It's not about his weapon or items. It's about doing Junkan runs. If you do a Junkan Only run (break every single chest), you get increased damage AND the ability to acquire Junkan. The best run is when you have 10 junk with Junkan or Gold Junk and some decent weapons. It's perfect for lazy folks like me who don't want to bother keeping track of synergies or juggling multiple weapons/items.

[@smallfishisland]

Honestly, cultist is an unsung hero in singleplayer. His passive is amazing, Pilot gives you a free shop discount and hunter is just free items and they both dont have any downsides.

[@perfectcell3926]

Pilot got a BIG buff in the AG&D update, the fact that he can hold 2 active items is very good for synergies

[@FreddoFilms]

My list: 1. Bullet: Ability to destroy bullets and high damage right off the bat is just so good. Also armor of thorns is ridiculous as this guy. 2. Huntress: Starting weapon is pretty good, but they really shine through the crossbow cause of it's high dmg. Also pupper. 3. Robot: Armor HP is obviously a burden but the long range and large clip combined with battery bullets+water coolant is really powerful. And +5% DMG up for junk is beautiful. 4. Marine: Kind of a lesser robot, has a large clip and long range starting weapon. Extra hit is kinda nice. I always seem to find a better use item before I really need the ammo refill though, which leads to it never being used properly. 5. Convict: I don't actually mind this character, her revolver can be fired faster by rapidly clicking, which vomits out the entire clip. It also does slightly more damage than other starting weapons. The sawn-off is garbo though. 6. Pilot: I struggle to get far as this guy because of the terrible starting gun. He's also pretty RNG based, which I strongly dislike. And I've never played as the cultist because I don't own a controller, but I will say that it has the best alternate skin out there.

[@krakenjacket5333]

I'm probably one of the few people on this planet who unironically likes the Convict more than the rest of the cast, even though I'm fully aware that shes inferior to the rest of the cast in terms of her starting kit.

[@KamahlFoK]

Wait what, Convict has literally the best starting kit! Her base gun almost qualifies as a primary in how much damage it puts out, let alone swapping between weapons while the other reloads to basically nuke down bosses. Even has a molotov to top off the damage charts. I don't like using her but she blows away everyone else starting-gear-wise.

[@krakenjacket5333]

Well while the base gun is strong and is one of the constant upsides to her with it's good damage output despite the low accuracy and clip size, the sawn-off loses it's usefulness around the third chamber as you shouldn't be using it against bosses after the first chamber, but can still be useful in blasting away more troublesome enemies. As for her items the molotov does have it's uses, but I usually either forget it exists or find a better active item as I personally don't use it much aside from the first boss and maybe the second (Though its useless against the Bullet King and Gorgun) and as for the enraging photograph it always helps to have more damage, especially when things are getting dicey enough for you to take a hit, but by no circumstance should you EVER intentionally get hit to activate it's effect with how scarce health is. All the same shes the first character I beat the game with and at the end of the day the starting kits really don't change an awful lot past the start of each run, and I take pride in the fact that I do well with her despite her being deemed the hardest to play, next to the pilot according to this vid that is

[@caluan9582]

the main reason the convict is my favorite is because when you get hit you'r pissed, and convict is also pissed, and there's nothing more satisfying than doing a trillion damage while screaming insults at the boss, she's a beserker and if i just want to run in guns blazing everywhere and enrage when someone gets a little too agressive, i call that a fun character, unreliable? yeah sure, but she's undeniably fun

[@garrettm4904]

Oddly enough, I really enjoy playing the convict. I think that I enjoy her starter gun the most due to its high rate of fire and it's faster reload time so you can vomit out bullets right at the start. Though the Sawed off is definitely not as good as the crossbow, I still think it's better than nothing. plus, once you learn how to fight up-close it can do some great damage. The Molotov is probably my favorite part about her kit, due to how well it can deal with the stronger enemies and bosses. Lastly, her passive does reward bad play, but (kinda like cigarettes) I feel like sometimes giving up health for a quick boost in damage to melt a boss or group of enemies is fair (though I think we'd all prefer to just not get hit by the boss and get the extra heart). I think overall using the convict just requires a more aggressive and fast paced play style. And I think I'm alright at the game... I can usually get through floor 1-3's bosses without being hit and overall loosing little health on the way. But I will definitely agree that the Hunter is much better.

I personally always go with the convict. My playstyle goes well with her.

[@shadowcircus8314]

you forgot to talk about how every time The convict takes damage she becomes enraged thanks to the photo. this increases her damage significantly and also reloads her gun shes holding. If theres a table nearby you can flip it, come out of cover, take the bullet to the face but not actually take damage, and trigger this for free.

[@GlitchGambas]

Where's Cain? :pentaFUDGE:

[@darshanclark2252]

When he broke the water barrel on purpose... I felt that

[@nukeking4764]

I’ve always liked convict but I’m gonna try the other characters more

[@PentaHybrid]

CH34T- C0D3 Convict is underrated. The sawed off is a very good starting weapon. The only thing I don't like is the rage. I'm games like Isaac and Nuclear Throne there are reasons to get hit. Gungeon is your goal to avoid all damage. The only thing I think works well with it is the Cigarettes because it's very powerful.

[@yexumaelf]

Whoa whoa whoa!! Don’t forget about the gunslinger! He gets all synergies with all guns and a sweet starter pistol to boot.

[@streamsnipings7560]

My list 1. Bullets cuz its sht 2. pilot its the best 3. Cultist is the best bessttt 4. Marine ehh 5. Hunter ty for wasting ammo at chamber 1 6. convict cuz its really really sht 7. robot cuz i freaking cant get armor THEY JUST GIVE ME HEARTS

[@MrKolny]

What you gotta keep in mind is that character's side weapons can be either automatic or semi-automatic, which makes a huge difference. Automatic weapons have one set fire rate, while semi-automatic guns shoot as quickly as you can press the button. It makes playing with convict a cakewalk, since her revolver also has a short reload speed. Marine and Pilot have a set fire rate, while Convict and Huntress have semi-automatic guns.

[@FracturedPhantasm]

Mine - 1. Bullet 2. Pilot 3. Marine 4. Convict 5. Hunter 6. Cultist 7. Robot (Armor for health is a good idea but it doesn’t work)

[@PentaHybrid]

That's really interesting that you put the Robot so low. Any more elaboration on that? I'd love to hear. I am starting to agree with you on the Hunter though. That dog is starting to piss me off.

[@FracturedPhantasm]

I truly dont hate the Robot, the idea of armor for health is brilliant. Its just i feel like the devs should have made it a higher chance to get armor when your playing as him. Hes truly an amazing gungeoneer! its just im not used to his play style.

[@daybreak2127]

PentaHybrid I've been getting tired of playing the robot, slowly get knocked down to 2 armor, then have the game go "Oh deary me, you're low on health. Here, have all of these red hearts." "Oh, you broke a blue chest with 2 health, here have a half heart and not junk."

[@eroalduin7305]

there is something far worse its bad enough to get a heart container from an a or s rank chest... i got a heart container from an s rank chest....... as the robot.... could have been a good s rank item but nah have almost nothing

[@bimeshii]

eh, ill let you talk to the child. but dont pull a breach-cast or i will f*cking end you (they all insult him)

[@dripthorn]

I love the Bullet because once you get him its so easy to breeze through the first and second floor with blasphemy if you're good at dodging at the perfect time and not losing his sword projectile. Also he practically one shots all of the enemies on the first and second floor if you hit enemies with the slice and the projectile at the same time, which yet again is great if you can dodge at the right time. It also makes getting the Robot much easier since he can destroy bullets and a lot of the time eliminates the need to dodge roll especially in boss fights, but mostly it helps you remember that you're carrying him.

[@Delta008]

Wait so what dose the cultist do? Just be bad at everything?

[@PentaHybrid]

Delta 008 Cultist it's unavailable unless playing in co-op. He's the co-op character.

[@zetekpl]

If you kill one player you can heal him. Cultist is op in one player (killing p1)

[@_connorsseur]

The cultist actually has a pretty decent starting weapon, and his wonderfully named passive (called Number 2) gives him extra movement speed, and +41% damage when player 1 dies, which essentially negates the entire downside to co-op (enemies have 40% more HP but you'll be sharing items so that's also a downside), plus a very handy movement speed up that sweetens the deal. The better player should always pick the cultist, as it's basically used to take advantage of your friend who sucks at the game. I would actually really love to be able to play as the cultist in normal gameplay, but sadly I don't see that ever becoming possible.

[@rajivperera8151]

just connect an extra controller and then repeatedly kill that character by going into rooms and body blocking all damage while drawing agro of mobs, either that or by using pits

[@jakedoesyoutube]

4:00 DUUUUUDE! That Shop has a really good selection! (For me personally) The Regular Shotgun is a very well round early to mid game weapon, and the payday mask SAVES RUNS (especially when in combo with the other payday items). Having a Guy with a taser, winchester, or blanks is very handy, and the winchester guy (I forgot his name) can clear entire rooms by himself! 4:52 AND HERE IS ANOTHER PAYDAY ITEM!

I don't agree with pilot or robot but that's just me

[@redman7775]

Laughs in using starting gun the entire run

[@zetekpl]

Cultist is NUMBER ONE. her gun have very good damage, accuracy is good + if you kill player one you will have boost. If you kill player one some times on one run game will have awesome bugs and game will be so easy.

[@bimeshii]

uhh, cultist is a boy

[@harmgd]

@@bimeshii it's never been confirmed

[@Big_Bonfire]

I always do the best with the pilot, so he’s definitely my favorite. Couldn’t really explain why but he’s always the one who gets the furthest for me

[@JonnyTheChannel]

1. Marine 2. Hunter 3. Cultist 4. Convict 5. Pilot Haven’t unlocked the Bullet or Robot because I suck at this game

[@eroalduin7305]

then play the bullet he is op he makes the game easy

[@bimeshii]

[@bimeshii]

butwhataboutmyboycultist

[@eroalduin7305]

ok now that i look at my reply it looks completely dumb xd i think i meant something like play more to get him since you dont really need skill to get him just luck but i dont really remember

[@JonnyTheChannel]

Ero Alduin You first need to kill a characters' past before you can unlock the bullet. I did make it to Marine's past yesterday but I died.

[@Summer_Tea]

I don't see how pilot is luck-based at all. He is by far the most consistent character. I get to bullet hell with him every time I play. You should honestly not worry about his bad sidearm. If you are getting hit at all during the first two chambers, even with that terrible weapon, then that's on you. The first two chambers are too easy to perfect even with the worst of the worst of weaponry. Where the pilot comes in clutch is in shop prices. Shops can be very consistent, you will always get a key on the first shop unless you picked one up by accident before reaching him. The consistently cheap keys you will be buying on every floor will save a ton of money and make sure you open all 10 guaranteed chests throughout the first 5 floors. The lockpick is there to get you into the oubliette for free or half-off, thus getting you even more money if you hit it. The other selling point for the pilot is in two active items. My very second time reaching the Lich was on a run where I had ethereal form and elder blanks. I flawlessed the first two forms of the Lich and took one hit on the third form (which could have easily been avoided had I known there would be a third form). That was my *second* time seeing this boss. Two active items that either make you survive (lead skin, ethereal form) or increase DPS (double vision, gun friendship) is just beyond broken. It's almost an I-win button. And you will very often see an NPC selling stuff like that every run. The cheaper shops alone makes the pilot the best character, and the extra active item alone makes him the best character. Combining those two makes him far and away the best. All of the advantages from the other characters typically only help with the early game. And as I said before, if you need any assistance with the first 3 chambers at all then you simply need to up your skill. It's very easy to consistently flawless the first two chambers with nothing but the rogue special. Also, the marine does not have the best sidearm. The Convict has far and away the best DPS out of main characters on the rusty sidearm. The DPS of the marine's pistol is only marginally better than the pilot's. For the record, I consider the Convict the second best character under the pilot almost purely based on that insanely strong pistol, as well as enraging photo if you don't care about perfecting bosses.

[@Mercman1010]

awwww but I like the nerf gun

[@metalballs1004]

i got to agree with that, i got so many nerf guns

[@Anonymos185]

Everyone is sleeping on the marine, despite the fact that barely anyone knows the full extent of what Combat Training does. It's not just improved accuracy. Its improved accuracy, drecreased load times and decreased charge time for charge-weapons. And in a game where passives are far more important than having a large supply of spare weapons, that is insanely important. On the lower floors, where the game gets difficult and when all starting weapons have become obsolete, what are the gungeoneers left with? The convict has nothing but a mediocre active item. The hunter has picked up a few pieces of health and maybe a key. The pilot has used the spare money from his passive to buy around... 1 extra c-tier item. The bullet has put his sword aside in favor of a stronger a-tier gun, and is left with no usable passives. The robot is... dead. He is dead, he has no health. But the marine? He is still going strong, with higher accuracy and dps than the all of others.

[@Amalga_Heart]

Alright, I'll bite. My own list: 1. Marine. That item he carries means 20% less reload time on everything, and 16.7% less charge time for charge-based weapons. That all adds up to less time spent NOT shooting things, making every gun able to destroy things that much faster. Plenty of guns are a bit nasty about the reload or charge necessary, so I love this. The Supply Drop is a nice bonus. 2. Pilot. He makes it easier to get more stuff. The game is a real snotball when it comes to keys, it really is. For any other character, no keys means no item. But for Pilot, he still has a pretty decent chance of getting whatever is inside. And he gets items cheaper. There's lots of good stuff in the shops, and nothing is more irritating than finding something awesome but being like, 5 shells short of being able to purchase it. The Pilot makes that aggravating situation happen less. Yeah, he's got a craptastic starting weapon, but I'm only going to use that in the earliest part of the game, so I dont care about that much. And hey, two active items! 3. Hunter. Starting with the crossbow is nice, it's actually a pretty good weapon, useful well into the mid-game and it's ammo tends to last for quite awhile. And then there's the dog, of course. Free keys and blanks and hearts? Yes, more of that. And it's so damn cute. 4. The Bullet: Blasphemy is such a fun weapon. And being able to just chop bullets out of the air is quite useful. Even without the beam effect, this is still a good weapon in many situations. Live Ammo is nice too though I usually forget he has it. 5. Robot: I dont use him all that much, but he's easily the most unique. Battery Bullets is pretty great too, as is getting power from junk. 6. Convict. Ehh. I've never liked her much. A passive that only does anything if you crash into something, and that crappy shotgun, not very impressive. The Molotov is nice, but it's not enough.

[@PentaHybrid]

Long time no see Misery! Nice breakdown here.

[@bimeshii]

wow not even putting the chold on the list. yeah hes co-op BUT HES ADORABLE

[@FortnuitePro]

What I like about hunter is that you can use the crossbow to clear floor 1 and the boss, one shoting bullet kin. Any weapons you get in chests in floor 1 or from the boss you can use to clear floor 2 until you get a better gun. The other floors are just rinse and repeat.

[@waynenichols3935]

Cultist is the best

[@sglk6391]

Pilot is like a two sided sword you either stab the enemy with it or you stab yourself and regret using him because of Rng.

[@eicto8760]

a long time i was thinking about play this game i really should play it Sry for my bad english

[@PentaHybrid]

Play it!

[@Undeadsaiyan9]

This is a great video! I've been thinking about buying it for a while and this video sold me on buying it, thanks man

[@PentaHybrid]

Emilio Orozco It's toooooo good! Glad I could swing you to get it!

[@GoatyOfTheGOATs93]

Only some things about this list: 1. The Huntress is, by far, a fan favourite BUT not a good character, her kit is small and the only good thing abut is the crossbow, the dog only have a 5% success chance which is pretty small to the point I had runs where he didn't dug ANYTHING.. I would go as far as to say she's the second worst, only losing for the Convict (which, sadly, is my favourite). 2. The Marine doesn't have the best sidearm, the Robot does, yet you said it wasn't special dispite having double the ammo capacity.. wut? 3. The Pilot's Disarming Personality might be bad at the beggining but at the end, as prices gets higher, is actually pretty damm usefull, also, he's very good to do elevator quests as you can try to neglect using keys on chests and just save those for the elevators, I frankly hate this character but I gotta admit, he isn't the worst, not by a long a shot. 4. My personal list is: Bullet > Robot > Marine > Pilot > Hunter > Convict

[@Royalbobcatgto]

The pilot is the best of the gungeoneers, you can replace his weapon almost instantly from a chest which is his one downside, the lockpick means you can usually open up the secret levels giving you a huge boost from the start & the biggest benefit is having two active items. It's not too hard to find items that grant invincibility, I've had multiple runs where I switch between two of these during boss fights.

[@bimeshii]

My List: 7: Pilot He is so bad at the start that its honestly unfun to play, but its bearable. His lock picks are so satisfying when they work. His starter gun is bad. Hidden compartments is. . . ok, at the least. 10% more ammo and another active are ok with me. also disarming personality is eh. 6: Marine starter_class.mp4. ok but really his starting gun is good and so is supply drop but other than that hes just eh. 5: Convict Molotov is a hell of a start (heh get it cuz it can burn ppl) and the sawed off is an ok start but enraging photo is just ehhhhhhhh. 4: Robot i. . . actually havent played this guy, gal, whatever they want to identify as. Armor to me is kinda just there to take a hit but it can come in handy. His gun seems ok and coolant seems good based on ppl ive watched. 3: Huntress Crossbow is an amazing start, and the doggo. I T S A D O R A B L E. Rusty sidearm is ok but can be used to kill enemies in a crossbow -> sidearm combo. 2: Bullet Blasphemy is not only a good start, but its also a fun one. The ability to destroy bullets is invaluable and it does good dmg. no contact damage is ok. Number 1 Cultist Hear me out HES ADORABLE LOOK AT THIS PRECIOUS CHOLD HES TOO CUTE in all seriousness, he probably has the most questionable past Hes the one player 2 that took a stand tired of the insults the hate but have i mentioned how cute he is but his starting items are so based around co-op death

[@bimeshii]

also im pretty sure cultist either dead or a skeleton

[@sebastianalvarez1246]

blasphemy isnt a good start? lol

[@bimeshii]

it can be if you know how to use it

[@BL-xz3ym]

Lach. You misread.

[@sebastianalvarez1246]

Brad Layne no my man he edited the comment

[@lifesmanager6318]

The cultist is my favourite. Because he can move faster while his ally is dead, his dead ally can act as a short-range infinite blank and because he’s the co-op character he’s always alongside another gungeoneer. A SECOND GUN. It’s like duct tape but permanent.

[@bimeshii]

hes a good boi. hes a better boi than junior II

[@allmight801]

7. cultist i did not play him becouse non of my friends play this game but i am preety sure he sucks 6. pilot has the worst starting items in the game imo 5. convict if only her second gun was shotgun... 4. marine has good passive item but 1 armor is not going to help me a lot + supply drop is useless if i find good active item 3. robot really interesting charcter i like the synergy between his active and passive item it can deal some serius damage 2. hunter crosbow is really good especailly on first and second floor and the dog can be really usefull 1. bullet i like being OP and blasphemy is deffinition of OP

[@Into-thin-air-42]

Yeah, you can win the entire game just using blasphemy. It’s absurd

[@thecorruptible6799]

Nah casey is

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Rade Despotovic pilot has the worst floor one. However cheaper shop prices and the lock pick as well as being able to hold more ammo and more active items gives him the highest potential power at the endgame. So the pilot is for those who are willing to trade immediate power for potential power.

[@StarlightTrail3]

^

[@magejag2977]

Nathan Broduer, you can win the game using every starting weapon except blasphemy, that makes some enemies impossible to kill if you have no full health.

[@raylen-3053]

Hunter best character -You have doggo and you can pet him

[@neonblade8591]

One of the few benefits to the cultist is that he doesn't need the bullet that kills the past to acess his past

[@garrettnicewonger7178]

If you're trying to activate shortcuts I try to use the piolet so I don't have to rely on keys alone to get me into chest and I can save them for the maintenance guy. But it her than that I play as the Marine. The increased accuracy, and the strength of his starting pistol makes the first two floors a breeze. And you can definitely count on finding a gun by the third floor. That's why I use him.

[@noahalien4665]

i like marine the best purely because he has faster reloading than anyone else. i do a very button mash technique so i can focus on dodging, and that split second saved in a reload is honestly a god send to me

[@EE-bg1de]

i absolutely love enter the gungeon. I've deleted the game 5 times because i can't stop playing it. It's been a year and a half. I've beaten bullet hell over 20 times and yet, i still play. The randomness of the game sucks you in, it's just never the same. Recently i found a item that allows you to spray all your weapons at once, it's like super duct tape. absolutely love this game.
