It’s a taut, tense roguelike: The Binding of Isaac is an arcade-style shooter that finds you fighting for survival in each claustrophobic room and floor of the rather expansive basement. Like the sound of this curious concoction? Here’s why you should give it a shot. Luckily, as with Liyla, Apple changed its mind and The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is now available on the App Store, apparently fully intact.
It’s strange, sure, but also imaginative and unique-and it’s a pretty great action game, as well, constantly testing your skills as you find new abilities and threats within the dungeon-like basement. Wield super-powered projectile tears to fight these frightening basement beasts. And there’s a good chance that you will perish. As the apparently naked son, you’ll retreat into the basement and fight through rooms of grotesque, anxiety-fueled monsters using your tears as a weapon. That’s not entirely surprising: it’s a violent and unnerving game about a woman who hears voices from God, and thus decides to kill and sacrifice her young son. Already a smash indie hit on PC, Mac, and consoles, the game was planned for release on iPhone and iPad about a year ago… until it was rejected for its content. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth was almost one of those games.
