Steam review snapshots
Especially when you get to bosses that always move more than once, even if you build a defense, it will hit you…It perfectly captures the Isaac atmosphere, and the characters are diverse.A game this buggy—where modders have to painstakingly keep it functional—can’t earn a 10/10.If you liked Mewgenics for its slower paced fights and deck building strategy, maybe give Bumbo a try!Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, strategy filtered by weird, single-player.
