130+ new items (more than 700 items in total and some are from Antibirth).A newly reworked co-op mode that allows up to four players locally to play as actual characters instead of babies (Screenshot below).The fan mod The Binding of Isaac: Antibirth integrated into the game as official content!.I mean, of course it depends on whether or not you are already a fan of the series, but for those who have already invested hours and hours of their time in the depths of Isaac’s basement, Repentance brings a slew of new content, including:
It is a sobering story that honestly does not get enough praise for just how scary it actually is and why we want Isaac to live so desperately.īut for those who have already been to hell and back in previous versions, what does The Binding of Isaac: Repentance offer that is worth the return? And is this an indie game on Nintendo Switch that justifies a proper $60 price tag ($39.99 for Afterbirth+ and $19.99 for Repentance DLC)? The short answer: HELL YEAH.
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is chock full of religious iconography that shows just how deep into the religious bubble Isaac and his mother existed in. Diving deeper and deeper into the basement and what follows adds more terror to Isaac’s poor story as he seeks redemption, or, as the final DLC title so eloquently puts it, sharing his repentance and earning favor from the unjust God. The casual willingness to not even question the decision of an unjust request but agree to it immediately is scary beyond measure, and it gives The Binding of Isaac: Repentance a crazy story right from the get-go. This is an incredibly haunting and terrifying tale of a religious extremist following the insane voices in their head. Unfortunately, what is in the basement is beyond him, and Mom is waiting impatiently to fulfill her duty. Isaac, in a panic after learning what is about to become of him, finds a basement door under the rug in his room, and he dives down in an attempt to save himself. The story continues from the original premise, and that is that Isaac’s mother, through “divine” revelation, chooses to kill her son for God (Very similar to the Biblical story of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac). This is the finale and the end of poor Isaac’s suffering and pain.

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is the final form of The Binding of Isaac. So how does Repentance add to the already stellar reputation of The Binding of Isaac? There is only one way to find out! Let’s dive in. This is a brutally difficult game, but it is one of the grandfathers of modern day roguelikes, and it continues to set the standard for content, challenges, and enemies. If you are unaware of The Binding of Isaac, it is a top-down roguelike dungeon crawler by Ed McMillen, the same guy behind Super Meat Boy, and Florian Himsl. For those of you living under a rock, The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is the final DLC for one of the most awesome indie games ever.
