The Binding of Isaac

about 8 years

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a randomly generated action RPG shooter with heavy Rogue-like elements.


Since I know a lot of people in Sandbox play The Binding of Isaac, I thought I'd make a thread here where we can talk about it and share anything Isaac-related.

if magdalene's starting pill is always speed up, what's the point? why not just boost her starting speed and take away the pill


Because then the pill is always in the pill pool, it's even better than just being a stat boost up.

I got bored by the game once I managed to beat everything on hard with The Lost. Yall should try enter the gungeon instead


Beat what on hard with The Lost? Is this supposed to be impressive?

Are you bragging about beating mom's heart as the lost or something?

Brimstone is incredibly rare, you say that like you just casually are able to get it every single run. which is simply not true.

i dont get why people like brimstone so much, it sucks on late-game bosses tbh. it does have some good synergies but on its own its kinda meh

get me a death touch over brimstone any day

this is the fundamental problem with "self challenge": the greater the challenge, the more you have to and will exploit gameplay mechanics you didn't arbitrarily bar off in order to win, and by the very logic that put you in this situation you would be eliminating challenge by simply playing to win because in doing so you logically take the most effective route you can

you will always do what's most likely to make you win and even more so when you "challenge" yourself, so the whole idea is stupid

the game should just be balanced properly

isnt the point of the game to take advantage of the best items

would you run isaac without picking up anything
