After six years, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is finally complete. With Repentance numerous new items, playable characters, levels, opponents, rooms, trophies, and challenges have been added to the game.
Additionally, there are some minor changes to the graphic style to make the title more similar to its predecessors. A new end of the game with the corresponding boss is also included.
Chances are, The Binding of Isaac: Repentance will also offer some secrets that we don’t know about yet.
The co-op mode has also been improved. The second player can now choose a correct character instead of just controlling one of the flying babies. Co-op is only available locally, but can also be used online using Steam Remote Play.
A new energy system is also at the start, old content of the game has been changed, and so much more that it is difficult to list even a fraction of the changes here.
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance is so big that the creator of the series, Edmund McMillen, lovingly dubbed it “Isaac 1.9” and the patch notes for the update were too extensive for the internal news section of Steam and therefore had to be rolled into one published in a separate document. Repentance is great. Really big.
A discount campaign on Steam runs until April 14th, in which you can purchase the complete edition of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth for around 30 euros.
In addition to the basic game, this includes the three DLCs Afterbirth, Afterbirth + and of course Repentance. In an FAQ, McMillen confirmed that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth with Repentance is now really complete.
So now is a good time for those who haven’t had any experience with The Binding of Isaac to take a closer look at the title. A Mac release for Repentance is not planned.
