The company is the maker of Enter the Gungeon, which released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. With a projected 2026 release date, Enter the Gungeon 2 will represent a significant title for the studio, offering a new 3D visual overhaul while returning to dungeon-crawling bullet hell gameplay. The studio maintains a tight focus on the Gungeon franchise and related action-roguelike titles.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Dodge Roll is a profitable subsidiary of a well-capitalized publisher (Devolver Digital) with a proven flagship franchise that has achieved sustained critical and commercial success over a decade. However, execution risks exist with Enter the Gungeon 2's visual redesign and the franchise's mixed recent spin-off history requiring successful reinvention.
