Part 1

Your friendly guide to The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Part 1. Learn the basics of this rogue-like shooter and get ready to face your fears in the basement!

Hey there! Welcome to The Binding of Isaac. This game can seem a bit wild at first, but don't worry, I'm here to walk you through it. Think of it as a mix between a shooter you play from above and a super-old-school game style called a 'rogue-like'.

You'll be controlling your character from an overhead view, shooting tears – hence the 'shooter' part. The 'rogue-like' aspect is a bit more niche, but it basically means each run is unique and challenging. Don't let that scare you though; there are tons of awesome rogue-likes out there, and this one is a fantastic entry point!
