The Binding of Isaac is going to be getting a prequel. Titled The Legend of Bum-bo, it will be coming to Steam in just a few short weeks with a The Legend of Bum-bo release date for iOS and Nintendo Switch to be announced later.
If you haven't heard of The Binding of Isaac, you've probably been living in a shack out in the woods. This roguelite game beautifully takes the gameplay of classics like The Legend of Zelda and adds in a whole bunch of random items and enemies, making for some pretty challenging (and entertaining) gameplay. Now, this game is going to be followed up with a prequel called The Legend of Bum-bo.
The Legend of Bum-bo has Bum-bo's only coin stolen by some kind of nefarious creature. Billed as a "puzzle deckbuilding roguelike", Bum-bo transitions from real-time gameplay to a turn-base system. There will be over a hundred unique items for players to employ as they fight with one of four playable characters against more than 10 bosses and 30 different kinds of enemy.
