If you enjoyed The Binding of Isaac, you'll want to dive back into the world of the game with The Legend of Bum-Bo. This is the prequel to the first game and where you meet Bum-Bo once again. While he is living quietly in his cardboard box, a mysterious and not particularly courteous entity steals his money. Bum-Bo sets off in pursuit and soon finds himself facing hordes of enemies.

The Legend of Bum-Bo offers you hybrid gameplay that combines deck building and roguelike mechanics while having puzzle solving at the core. The many items you collect in the game are of great importance. With them, you can create other items, or use them to improve your abilities.

In addition to this, The Legend of Bum-Bo lets you choose between four different characters to fight 30 different types of enemies, as well as 10 bosses. The world of the game is made of cardboard, with hand-drawn graphics, and an excellent soundtrack created by Ridiculon.
