Binding of Isaac is one of my favorite games of the past 5 years, but I didn't like Nuclear Throne at all. Would I like this game??

It's more Binding of Isaac than Nuclear Throne. More of a Binding of Isaac with guns and free aiming.

idk about this game but similar games on console sometimes have issues with framerate drops and crashes. so i would look around?

I've gotten some slowdown but I think it's a weird memory leak thing that happens when you leave the game running for like 24+ hours. I restarted and it's back to being totally smooth again

in many ways it feels like a more fully realized binding of isaac

it's way more like Isaac than nuclear throne and also a lot better than nuclear throne. it scratches the exact same itch Isaac does but in a more, idk, kinetic way? it feels good to play

the game is way harder than binding of isaac though. you save your good guns for nasty rooms and bosses but its generally expected that you can get through big chunks of the game with your starting weapon and not get hit by anything, healing is also rare and expensive

Found a gun that is an ant and shoots pools of oil then when it reloads swaps to shooting fireballs

Guess how long it took me to blow myself up

I really do like it more than Isaac for that reason

This game feels like they understand i-frames and bullet hell formations and how to translate it into this kind of game really well. As an example there's that floor 1 boss who is a guy in a throne, he has that formation where he floods the screen with slow moving bullets to force you to position, then he fires a ring that you HAVE to roll over and it feels satisfying every time

On my best runs though I had soooo many guns ammo management became a non issue. Like i had 2 different rocket launchers and a giant shotgun that shot hearts that charmed enemies and 3 other guns. Also a run where I couldn't find the seller guy in any of the shops

Healing being really rare is annoying though, sometimes you finish a boss with full health and he'll drop 2 hearts and you can't go back floors to get them or anything

Keys are also really rare and you need 3 plus 120 casings at the same time for the first shortcut. Apparently it only gets worse for the later ones.

now i can play binding of isaac except it's very pretty with better music and a tighter feel

it hasnt been out for 100 years w/ multiple expansions so it doesnt strictly have as much content but once it gets to that point, i think isaac's been dethroned tbh

quad post: there is a very slight aim assist in the game, if you aim in an enemy's general direction you actually invisibly lock on to the closest enemy there. so just point the stick in the direction of harm, and keep your eyes on your character to dodge bullets

cool biRd pics
Aug 28, 2009

you will feel ashamed of your words & deeds
from what ive heard the aim assist is controller only and also automatically switches off after a period of time when youve gotten the hang of playing

a storm is coming...

+1 bullets are really overpowered on anything that does a bunch of fully automatic damage bursts, shotguns, automatic shotguns, and anything classified as a beam. It turns the water gun from an absolute joke into a serious contender, and any higher grade beam type into an impossible death machine.

Still managed to die to Dragun because I'm bad at games tho.
