Binding of Isaac prequel game The Legend of Bum-bo gets first gameplay trailer
Back in March 2016, the creator of the hit indie game The Binding of Isaac showed off a new game he was working on, describing it as a turn-based puzzle RPG. Titled The Legend of Bum-bo, it was set to be the prequel story to The Binding of Isaac, and would release early 2018. In January, it was announced that the game would be delayed to somewhere around the second half of the year, and nothing more was heard about its development. Now, the development team has revealed a new trailer for it, giving fans a first look at what the gameplay will be like. Focusing on randomly generated areas, you'll need to face off against enemies and fight them by matching items in your inventory in order to attack. The game is supposedly almost finished with development, and will launch later this year for iOS, Android, and PC. A Nintendo Switch version is also planned, and is scheduled for sometime in 2019.
The Legend of Bum-bo is a randomly generated, turn based puzzle rpg where you take the role of Bum-bo (from the binding of Isaac) as he punches the faces off hordes of paper goons and takes their coins! …only to gamble them away at the casinos.
Utilizing his bag of trash bum-bo forms pagan glyph’s (via a match 4 puzzle system) that create offensive and defensive attacks and gain specific types of mana to cast epic spells that range from jagging stuff with a fish hook to summoning mom’s leg to crush all who stand in your path.
Every dungeon bum-bo enters will be randomly generated and much like isaac feature hoards of monsters, bosses, traps, puzzles and randomly chosen spells, so each run will be totally unique and each successful play through will unlock more items, trinkets, playable characters and more.
