Okay so I recently started playing this game and dare I say it is one of the best games I've played in a long while. It came out two years ago and I feel stupid for not playing it earlier. There's a story as to what you're trying to do in the beginning:
There are two levels of each floor: (basement, caves, and depths). There are multiple rooms and each floor contains a treasure room (guaranteed to have an active or passive ability) and an item room (spend $ in order to get consumables and other items). There's also a secret room on every floor that you need to bomb into in order to claim your loot.
Your main attack is your tears (lol), and in order to beat the game for the first time, you must clear all six floors where you finally confront the final boss (I'll give you a couple of guesses as to who it is). All of the main bosses are based off of Isaac's nightmares, and there's even multiple shout outs to Super Meat Boy.
The number of Biblical references in this game are also astounding. The minibosses (who can spawn in any room) are the Seven Deadly Sins, and the other available characters are also references to it as well. The Tarot cards give you positive effects such as temporary invincibility to spawning multiple bombs across the room, and if you're feeling lucky, pills can give you the boost you need (or give you explosive [literally!] diarrhea).
And of course, there are always surprises lurking around every corner (and after you beat the game as well!). This game takes a lot of patience and runs on the Troll Engine, so you will probably need a few runs before you get the hang of it.
It's only 4.99 in the steam store, so you should definitely get it if you can!
--There's also a DLC which costs 2.99. If you've got the $ then I'd highly recommend it :3
Your name is Isaac and your mom is crazy. She hears the words of God and God says that Isaac is corrupted and must be saved. She starts by taking away her toys. In order to further save him, she locks Isaac in his room. God called her again, and finally tells Isaac's mother that in order to prove her love to God, she must kill Isaac. Right about as she's about to kill him, he finds a trapdoor underneath his rug. It leads to the basement.
