Not that that is a problem. The game is packed with shady humor and it's really suited for almost everybody with some sense pf humor Expand

The Wrath of the Lamb, being only $3.00, takes that to its extreme, making the deepest parts of the game darker, and the hardest parts even more difficult. You may have mastered The Binding of Isaac, but there's more to come in this low-cost, high-content addition to the game. Expand

So many new contents. New bosses, enemies, new room types, tons of new items, and new endings. It is really satisfying to play The Binding of Isaac - The Wrath of the Lamb. The new level types and curses and the trinkets makes the gameplay better. Some of the new enemies are challenging but the difficulty is still fair. There is a new challenge mode with ten challenges, they're also fun and worth to play for some new items. In some challenges you start with good items, but there are no item rooms. So it is fairly balanced. It is a little bit more difficult than before, but it is still OK.

    On the bad side of TBoI : The Wrath of the Lamb, the DLC is glitchy! There are so many minor and major glitches. Fortunately I didn't run into most of them, but I experienced some and I read about them. The creators try to fix them, v1.15 is already out, but it is still glitchy. Hopefully, major bugs will be fixed, sometimes it can break your gameplay. For example, you can teleport into isolated secret rooms, there is no escape from those out. It can be very annoying.


    There is an other issue since the original game: performance. It is horrible on a weaker computer. There is absolutely no GPU support, everything is calculated by the CPU. If you have a bad CPU, you will get serious slowdowns. The game was written in Flash unfortunately, and in The Wrath of the Lamb, there is still no GPU acceleration. I'm sure if it was written for an other engine, it was way much faster. I was hoping Florian Himsl will do something about it.

    If there was no performance issues and glitches I would give The Binding of Isaac : The Wrath of the Lamb a 10. The gameplay is perfect, you won't be bored after playing it a hundred times. It will be always fresh, you will be surprised by getting new items, and other random stuffs.


    Even with the issues, this game is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Also the new character isn't all that great. Samson wasn't worth playing or perhaps was just too hard because I never got good items with him. I did enjoy seeing the new levels but somehow it just wasn't as fun as the original. I played though only about 20x compared to over 100x with the original. overall however it was still worth the $3 full price from steam. Expand

    8.2/10
    Wrath of the Lamb делает всё то, что и должно делать DLC для игры, в которой главное удовольствие заключается в процессе получения разного контента - добавляет контент. Много контента. Запустил оригинальный Binding of Isaac я прежде всего ради ознакомления, но в итоге залип в него на несколько десятков часов, и залипал бы и дальше, если бы не сделал одну непростительную ошибку - запустил Rebirth, и возвращаться в Adobe Flash просто напросто больше нет желания, ведь весь контент, преподнесённый в оригинальных частях, наверняка уже есть в ремейке. Тем не менее я в достаточной степени успел насладиться Wrath of the Lamb, оценив масштаб и важность подобного дополнения для подобной игры, и даже перевыполнил свой план, случайно выполнив несколько испытаний (при своих то кривых руках). Сатану и других супербоссов в итоге так и не одолел, но мы с ними ещё обязательно встретимся. Уже в пиксель-арт варианте.
