About The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

A top-down roguelike action-adventure game and remake of the 2011 original, rebuilt from its Flash engine to enable expanded content and features. Players control Isaac through procedurally generated dungeon floors, using tears as projectiles to defeat monsters while collecting items that modify abilities and appearance in potentially powerful combinations. Runs end in permadeath, and each playthrough offers different layouts, items, and bosses. The game has received four expansions adding characters, floors, items, co-op multiplayer, modding support, and online play. Inspired by the biblical story of the same name and its designer's religious upbringing.

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,810 ELO points over the last 123 days.

    Picked this up right after finishing a Diablo binge, and the shift from loot power fantasy to fragile little Isaac dodging everything was a real shock at first.

    Bought it on a whim during a rainy weekend and got destroyed for hours by the same run. 71% win rate against Hades feels generous honestly.

    et pourtant même après toutes ces heures il continue de surprendre, ça mérite d'être reconnu.

    71% ça sonne bien mais un run peut se décider en trois secondes de mauvais input, la fenêtre de réaction est parfois minuscule

    Hortense_48

    un run qui se joue en quelques minutes face à Hades qui investit sur la durée, ça compte comment dans un ELO pareil selon vous?

  3. RachelleLegend

    The item pool is genuinely great but people act like the RNG never screws you over, and it absolutely does, some runs are just dead on arrival.

    Encore un duel contre Hades et encore le même débat sans fin, je vote un peu par automatisme maintenant pour être honnête. Ça ne changera pas grand chose à son classement de toute façon.

    FrameKid

    votar por costumbre igual cuenta, no? aunque ya sé que la GENTE dirá que eso no vale nada para el ranking

    Le rythme est complètement différent de Don't Starve, ici on enchaîne vite alors que là bas tout est lent et anxiogène, du coup je varie selon l'humeur du soir.

    Lucy_20

    la comparaison sur le rythme est juste, et niveau manette on sent que tout est pensé pour l'instantanéité, zéro friction avant l'action

    a mí también me acompañó en un invierno raro, y comparado con la lentitud angustiante de otros roguelikes esto era casi un respiro, aunque no siempre lo elegía por eso
