The Binding of Isaac
Roguelike dungeon crawlers are known for being difficult in that you never know what you’re going to get. On some runs, you may luck out and find a much-needed items early on in the game.
Meanwhile, other runs feature an ongoing sense of panic as you try to get through each area without any of the proper tools required.
The Binding of Isaac is the perfect example of a roguelike dungeon crawler that always manages to throw you a curveball. It’s this element of uncertainty that makes The Binding of Isaac so addicting.
It doesn’t matter which version you choose to play, including the newly released The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth + for Nintendo Switch. You will die in this game… a lot. If that sounds like the kind of Cuphead-esque experience you’re looking for, The Binding of Isaac is a must-buy.
