With hundreds of items to collect and over twenty bosses to defeat, there's always something new to see. Since the levels are procedurally-generated, the layout of each map will always be different, providing a high level of replayability. When you lose all your health, you'll start all the way back at the beginning with all of your accumulated items lost for good. The game is designed to be tough and consistently challenging, as dying is pretty common. Playing from a top-down perspective, you control Isaac as he moves through rooms, defeating enemies and collecting items.

GameplayĪt first glance, The Binding of Isaac draws a lot of comparisons to the classic Nintendo game, The Legend Of Zelda. Betrayed and left to die, Isaac must travel through a series of increasingly dangerous dungeons in order to find redemption. Fortunately, Isaac is able to escape down a small trap door that leads to the basement. As a last act of faith, Isaac's mother attempts to kill him with a knife. However, this isn't enough to satisfy the voice in her head, which continues to tell her that Isaac has been corrupted. Convinced that Isaac has been soiled by the world of sin, his mother locks him and his toys away in his room. One day, while watching religious television shows, Isaac's mother claims to hear a voice from God himself. The story starts as simple as it should, with the young Isaac and his mother living alone in their quaint and small home. The Binding of Isaac tells a sad and somewhat upsetting story that highlights the dangers of religious indoctrination through silly and exaggerated illustrations.
