I spent about 80 hours playing the original Binding of Isaac + expansion so I certainty got my fill there. Just like in the original, the game becomes more challenging the longer you play. Where the original game was built using Flash, Rebirth features a new engine and the game looks more in line with something from the SNES era. The Binding of Isaac Rebirth features both small and large changes to how the game looks and plays. Moving on to the “Rebirth” part of the title, the new additions to the game were all about making the good stuff better. In this way, playing through The Binding of Isaac for your first run will be dramatically different compared to your 50th or more. As you play through the game, you’ll unlock dozens of achievements that will change subsequent runs - new items, enemies, bosses and even areas to explore. The rogue-like elements are the same as Isaac normally only has one life, run out of health and Isaac will die and the game ends. These items will change how Isaac looks and by the end of a run, he’ll be completely different than he was at the start. Besides finding money, keys and bombs, Isaac can find items that enhance his stats or give him new abilities.
Every floor of the game is randomly generated with some constants like boss rooms and treasure rooms thrown in. Gameplay is action base as Isaac runs around and can attack in the cardinal directions. To escape, Isaac heads into the labyrinth that is their basement to find a way out. The story of Rebirth is exactly the same as in the original Binding of Isaac - Isaac’s mother believes she’s hearing the voice of God and is commanded to lock up Isaac in his room until she is told to kill him. The Binding of Isaac Rebirth may not be a brand new experience but taking one of my favorite games and making it better is more than enough for me. So when developer Edmund Mcmillen announced a revised edition of it, you knew that it was a day one buy from me.
The Binding of Isaac is one of my all time favorite games thanks to its combination of rogue-like design with classic gameplay.
