What puts him low on the list, however, is whether his items are entirely necessary.Įach gungeoneer comes with benefits that suit certain situations. Aside from the aesthetic, The Pilot has a decent starting setup, especially his passive items. The suave personality of the gungeoneers, there are plenty of reasons to like the Pilot. While her revenge plot is satisfying to an extent, it’s not entirely engaging either as she gets revenge on those who wronged her if her past is killed. For a beginning setup, The Convict’s is by far the weakest, that bonus damage be damned. What makes The Convict worth notice is her aforementioned enraging photo, which grants double damage for a brief period. The Convict’s guns have decent speed, but they don’t deal much damage, as most starting guns don’t. Seeking the almighty Bullet, it’s her starting equipment that put her at the bottom of this list. With an “enraging image”, molotovs, and a prisoner’s jumpsuit, The Convict is a character whose life took a turn for the worse. Her background being based on Hotline Miami, the Convict is a character that’s easy to figure out. While not evidently apparent, the gungeoneers all have interesting backstories and mechanics, albeit with a definitive hierarchy.

Every good game relies on good characters.
