Speaking of audio, the game has very good music for setting the mood – it’s no surprise that the soundtrack is being offered as an optional pack-in with the game itself. You’ll notice the fluidity of animation more than anything else, though the actual environments are still well-done – a cut above the Super Nintendo Zelda era the game very consciously tries to spoof, in general feeling as well as some audio cues. Just like Super Meat Boy, the art walks a line between fluid animation and crude child-like drawings, and the result is very easy on the eyes. Gross humor and questionable setting aside, The Binding of Isaac still has a certain graphical charm. We’re talking wall to wall blood, urine and feces, all with grotesque monsters and some amount of off-color religious jokes. This isn’t an issue of a solitary fart joke here and there, or even a now-and-then running gag. In case the previous information didn’t make this abundantly clear: If you’re easily offended or grossed out, this is not the game for you. Later, he can acquire other weapons – for instance, his urine. Isaac flees into the basement-dungeon, where he has to fight against hordes of mutant-spawn and cut through blockades of feces, armed only with his (projectile, somehow damaging) horrified tears. While you can play as other characters, you start out as Isaac: A young boy whose mother hears or thinks she hears the voice of God telling her to kill her child to prove her devotion. The creativity of half of Team Meat crossed with an actiony Rogue-like-ish game. Still, that’s the quick summary of The Binding of Isaac. It’s like being an Ultima fan and loving sci-fi MMOs and hearing that Richard Garriott is going to be making an MMO! So when I heard that half of the two-man team behind Super Meat Boy (specifically the more artistic half, Edmund McMillen) was putting out a game with roguelike elements, I got all giddy. I also loved Super Meat Boy, easily the most satisfying, fascinating and challenging 2D platformer I’ve played in years, with as close to a flawless execution I could ever hope to see in the genre. The randomized content, the high stakes that typically come with each playthrough, the tricks and secrets you have to learn just to survive, the inventive gameplay systems – I love it all. All the way back to the days of ASCII ‘graphics’ and the original Rogue, all through the ages of Angband (and its many variants), Nethack, and more, right to the modern era of Diablo III, Torchlight and Path of Exile. So Xbox or PC with gamepad.Roguelikes – really, any game with substantial randomized content – have been a love of mine for years now. Http-~~-//oh I almost forgot, the only bad thing about the game is that if you are playing it on PC, you NEED a gamepad. Here is a vid of me showing what I've completed in the game and also a little gameplay at the end. But I have ALMOST got A+ on all of them! I think I have 15 levels in Dark World left to get A+ on. I haven't got A+ on all Dark Worlds though, since they are just ridiculously hard. I have now beaten all levels in the game in " A+" which you get if you have beated a level very fast. I give the game a 10/10 and now I'm pretty good at it. This is the same levels as you already has played in the game, but they're three times as hard. But the guys who made the game wasn't satesfied with those hard levels, so what did they do? Well the made Dark Worlds. At first the game doesn't seem so hard like, in the first two worlds. You will die over and over and over and over again. I for example has spent over 100 tries on some of the levels. And some of the levels will make you pissed off if you don't have patience. Seriously, this game is not something you just rush through like Super Mario, nooo! (Unless you have played it alot before) This needs ALOT of tries. Another cool thing is as you see in the picture above, you can unlock characters from other games which you can play as! Everyone of them has their own unique abilities.Īlso, I love hard games. The humor in this game is just hilarious, there is one scene where something totally unexpected happens and you will laugh ALOT. The game controls are easy, the game is very fun, there are many levels, there are short videos between each boss and they are really funny. I personally love the game and it's one of the funniest games I've ever played. So if you have played this game, what do you think about it, how far have you came in the game and how good are you?
