The Bind of Isaac is a “Zelda – esque” rpg game with randomly generated scenarios. It is a 2d game with a cartoon - like style made by an indie developer. It is and rpg-arcade game hybrid due to its unique layout as far as genre is concerned. The premise of the game is that you are playing as Isaac, a child tormented by his evil, overzealous mother. God tells his mother that she must kill Isaac as a sacrifice to God to show her devotion to him. She responds by getting a butcher knife from the kitchen and proceeds up the stairs to Isaac’s room with intent to kill him. Isaac knows what to do and in his panic removes the carpet from the floor of his room which reveals a trapdoor into a scary basement.
The game than begins as you Isaac are trapped in the basement (which is much more like a dungeon) with the intended mission of escaping his evil mother and ultimately the basement. Each room in every game you play is completely different as while room themes are consistent, all contents such as keys, treasure, enemies, and obstacles are all randomly generated. This makes the game infinitely replayable and enjoyable. The reason this works is because aside from the random generation, the content of the game is a massive and expansive list of neat enemies, treasures, and other collectables. The game is divided into five different “depths” of the basement, where you will fight a boss at the end of each level to continue on to the next “depth” which all increase in difficulty via the power of the enemies. As far as boss fights are concerned, you can expect to fight relatively easy bosses initially such as Lord of the Flies and work your way up to killing Mom and possibly a run-in with the Devil himself!
This game has been made available in previous Humble Indie Bundles and is still currently available via steam, so I highly recommend it you pick it up as it is relatively cheap and definitely an enjoyable experience for anyone who loves Zelda games.
