5.0 out of 5 starsHours of fun! If you enjoy this kind of game...
By FH on 20 Mar. 2012
To make it quick: I love this game. It is extremely creepy, full of subtext and nearly endless replayability.
In The Binding of Isaac, you take on the role of a young child, who flees from his mother's violent psychosis into the nightmarish basement of their small house on a hill and further down into the darkness, where Isaac has to fight strange monstrosities, insects and demons to survive. How much is reality? Fantasy? Nightmare? Much of the plot is unclear and only parts are revealed in tiny chunks throughout the progress of the game.
Do not be fooled by the cutesy art style; this game has a lot of gore and disturbing imagery, touching upon topics like child abuse, attempted abortion, violent religious delusion and others, although it leaves much of this up to the player to figure out.
Some of it may simply come in the form of an item or an effect it bestows, like the wooden spoon that increases running speed and leaves welts all over Isaac's body; or maybe you picked up a simple wire coat hanger, which is subsequently lodged in the character's head. And some may be revealed through the design of enemies and boss monsters or other design choices. In keeping with the dark tone, there are a lot of Biblical references, as you might gather from the title of the game itself, but they tend to be very vague and unspecific and in my opinion mostly serve to help build the atmosphere.
The gameplay itself consists mainly of a top-down shoot-em-up, using Isaac's very tears to fight off the creatures he encounters. To do so, the player uses WASD to move and the arrow keys to shoot (allowing Isaac to shoot and move in different directions).Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsNo 2 Playthroughs Are the Same...
By UnixAnt on 8 May 2012
The Binding of Isaac is a top-down, single-room, randomly generated dungeon crawl. Sort of...

You initially play the role of Isaac, a young child who fled his God fearing mother by leaping into the unknown depths of the trapdoor in his bedroom. Starting with The Basement and working downwards, Isaac must battle (by shooting enemies with his tears) through randomly generated rooms filled with randomly generated monsters and items. The game is fiendishly difficult, and death is permanent - although your achievements are logged and there is a lot of content to be unlocked along the way.

The game boasts an extremely simple learning curve in terms of gameplay and mechanics: Enter a room, clear out all the enemies, move onto the next room, rinse and repeat. The very first room you spawn in gives you all the information you need, and whilst not everything is initially obvious, the more you play the more things fall into place and make perfect sense.

Where this game really excels is 'bang for the buck'. For a relatively low price you get an infinite amount of replayability due to the very random nature of the game. No 2 playthroughs will be alike, and there are several unique characters to unlock with 'give & take' aspects to them. For instance, Isaac is the well-rounded character which neither excels in any particular area nor does he fall short anywhere. However, without spoiling the experience, there is a character who is extremely powerful in combat, but on the flip side extremely fragile. Another has lots of health, but does relatively little damage so battles take a lot longer to complete and therefore pose more risk.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsIncredibly good game
By Barst on 1 Oct. 2012
Verified Purchase
This game is truly amazing. every playthrough is different, and replayability is very high as well. The box features a poster that although awesome looking, may be a bit too creepy to hang on a wall, and a booklet by Edmund Mcmillen that explains much of his inspiration for the various bosses and enemies in the game. Sadly, though, the game does not include the 'Wrath of the Lamb' DLC, and this needs to be bought extra through steam. The game still is amazing without, however!

5.0 out of 5 starsPrice????
By Laurence Young on 7 July 2012
I got this during a sale on Steam, the DLC cost more than the game, £1.50 for the game, and £2 for the DLC. £10.99 is INSANE!

3.0 out of 5 starsBuy it on Steam
By D. Levy on 7 May 2012
This game isn't worth £10.99. It's an elaborate flash dungeon crawler taking from the style of early top down zelda games and the like. It's fun for a while but not worth £11. It's £4 on Steam and even then that's pushing it slightly.
