He uses his overabundance of tears to shoot at an interesting cast of enemies that are living in his basement and deeper into the depths of the earth.’ ‘Isaac, shocked and appalled of what his mother just tried to do is weeping. While the story is hardly important to the overall fun of the game, it provides a fitting and fascinating opening to the game. Isaac escapes into the basement of his home where the game begins. The story continues on until Isaac’s mother is asked to kill Isaac to show her devotion to God, which she attempts.
Isaac’s mother gets a message from God saying that her son is plagued with evil, and she must fix him. The Binding of Isaac is loosely based on the aforementioned bible story of Abraham. With the numerous variants of enemies and power-ups, no run is the same and over time it proves to be an extremely lasting experience. Binding of Isaac melds all of the elements of a great arcade shooter and a roguelike and does it almost perfectly. If you had come to me before I had played The Binding of Isaac and told me you were making a twin-stick shooter based off a story from the bible, I would have called you insane.
