Binding of Isaac is a rogue like game made by the meat boy team, it has the same kind of animation and some disgusting humor. The game is top down and looks just like Zelda but that is where the similarities end. The entire game is simply going through 6  levels of a dungeon with a boss at every second floor. If you die you start all over, the whole point is to upgrade Isaac by exploring the dungeons which can also lead to your death. Every time you play the game is randomized so you never know what upgrades you will get or how the dungeons are laid out.

The action is basically you running around avoiding projectiles and other Zelda like attacks while you shoot tears. Everything in the game is about torturing poor Isaac, upgrades are stuff like a hanger through his head which makes him shoot more tears. One game will last about an hour but the game is extremely hard so you will die many many times. You will become addicted simply cause you want to beat the game and once you finish it you find that is just the beginning as there are loads of unlockables.

This was my first rogue like game and I must say I enjoy the genre. The randomization keeps each game interesting as you don't know what you will get. It's a simple game but a very fun and addicting one.

If you find you like Rogue-likes, then you --HAVE TO-- try Spelunky!

I have this and would like to play it but the X360 controller is not working natively so it's a hassle to sort out
