Will it be better or worse than The Binding of Isaac?

Game has been great so far! I could easily see myself sinking 500 hours in the first few months if I don't watch myself, and I can safely say that Edmund has indeed delivered.

The only strange thing about it is that the game has been going... pretty easy?

I'm not sure if this is my Tactics RPG brain has fried for playing too many hours of Fire Emblem on the hardest difficulty and insane difficulty romhacks. But I really was expecting to get my butt handed over thousands of times... and my journey has been nothing but smooth sailling.

The only time I have lost a cat was when they Feline AIDS (yes, that's a real thing in this game) which made them have 1 HP, so screw me I guess lol.

I even have beaten the cave boss with everyone at full HP, I also even managed to beat 90% of my battles in under 2-3 rounds consistently too (all in hard path btw).

I do know that I only got 13 out of 281 achievements so far, so there's indeed A LOT more content to be discovered, but also idk, Isaac has traumatized me so much that I kinda expected to be stuck in the first "chapters" for dozens of hours... but no, the game difficulty curve is actually well adjusted.

It's an easy game... but also incredibly fun, which hey, it's all it matters really. I also do have to reminds myself that this is only the beginning, so I kinda expect to see the last "true final boss" to be able to kill all my units in 2 rounds unless I minmaxx and breed the perfect clowder of cats with autism and down syndrome.

Mage has been my favorite class so far, it's so funny how some of their skills have unlimited range and busted damage output if you play your cards right. They also interact a lot with the environment which I really adore.

And while I said the game has been easy so far, I'm also quite impressed with the enemy AI, sometimes they just throw the rocks at you or even push you in a corner so you can't escape. They're a bit goofy when walking around the map and have a tendency on stepping in the negative tiles, but still, pretty nice.

So this is a reported list of credits for the game.

Liquid Chris can only refer to well Liquid Chris of Chris Chan fame right? Edmund if you ever read this just want to say I love your games.

And yes the motherfucker himself voices a cat in the game, but it has been 12 years in development so who cares that Edmund gave the disgusting pervert a plushie.

I'm so happy how slick the game feels and looks, the animations are smooooth. The visuals are a bit too drab though.

It does seem pretty easy, I imagine things get crazy as you get to the later chapters. There's also the hard routes on the map.

I'm really disappointed that the game doesn't let you rename your cats and gang.

It does seem really silly, there must have been a reason but I can't think of a good one. I guess it's because the cats are supposed to be disposable, a cat is retired after a single run.

That's probably the reason. I used to alter the names and appearances of my cultists in Blood of the Lamb but after your 50th one dies of old age/gets sacrificed/croaks from eating too much poop I stopped caring. I do give names and really goofy backstories to my XCOM 2 characters, however, but they're quite a bit more resilient.

This is like super smash bros for lolcows

Game is great, though
 
This game tickles my autism brain in ways you can't imagine. I barely got theough my first adventure and I can already tell I'm sinking hours into this. Hope I can find Guppy.
Also, Steven shows up and tells you to chew your steak when you try to save scum and punishes you if you do it again.
Never change, Edmund you trash cow.

It's a shame they haven't even given the ability to name things. Maybe I want to call my cats retard #1 through #1000.
 
Played a few hours of it, the music is great, I got to the first boss at the end of the Alley run and the soundtrack for him slaps.

Combat is very enjoyable I hope it gets expanded more as the game goes on
 
It is amazing, just what I expected. There are some qol issues but those aside, it's just isaac + into the breach, with the same mechanics, same progression, everything. Already my goty.

Holy shit, 70% of this list is shills and retards. Fucking jim sterling and his sewer goblin jonathan holmes. Jack packard. Mark brown from gmtk. Why? It's just nepotistic incestuous shills all around. Corpse husband, lilypichu and Michael reeves have not been relevant since Covid. They put markiplier in but no PewDiePie. Hbombergay too. It makes me a bit angry but games still good. Also the brittney I figure is brittney venti cause she said on twitter that she VAed for this.

Edit: CliffyB is also there, CliffyB hasn't been relevant since 2014, after his gay cucking scandal. I thought he was a nobody now but apparently not. Yes to meatcanyon, no to flashgitz. No harry partridge too, I'm disappointed Edmund.

Hasan's in there too,fucking lmao
 
Ed should use the binding of Isaac as a base for a similar game but make it a retro future styled roguelike shooter with some simple strategic elements like cover based shooting set on a space station with a synth heavy soundtrack. You could draw from SOOOOO many sources for content with that foundation. Easily hundreds of 80-90s movie references in characters enemies and items for sure.
 
Why is Idubbbz name "Ian Carter" on the list? Is that his middle name or some lore I dont know about?

Game is fucking amazing only two hours in but absolutely loving it so far. Hopefully I can unlock other rooms soon so I can start raising specific cats. Atm im just working with what I get.
