The Legend of Bum-Bo

theres some attempt to allow synergies but the game is easy without them and either its hard to make or not effective enough basically it doesn't have roguelike sauce the strongest thing is mostly speed or the funny buzz directional spells really it just seems like it could have been worked on more to make the game more interesting

bumbo does indeed, want coin.

It loads slowly, has been left untouched for around 5 years, any time i try to play it i feel like anything i do is useless and compels me to just play something else, even Isaac (whit some challenge based exceptions) and Mewgenics arn't that eager to make you give up that fast. only good thing i will say is that i appreciate it's contribution to the story of isaac and the visuals are REALLY cool, but it's not worth the purchase in my opinion

There is this running joke between my friends that one of them did the VA for Bum-bo. We always remind him and tell him how good he did. Hopefully he reads this and starts doing VA again, he was such a good Bum-bo.

x-- 8 / 10 --x Ridiculously addicitive. I'd argue that this is a lot hard than the Isaac games, but to the point where it could almost be unfair. Scale wise it's at least doable because there's only a fraction of the content to unlock.

This is one of those "wish there were a neutral option". Game itself is *fun* and the concept is great but there are many issues that make aspects of the game frustrating and slow. The spell system and the combat format is really cool too. I feel like a lot would have been fixed just by making the board bigger and having more moves per turn which would mitigate all the times you feel unable to do anything. Really like the cardboard art style and unsurprisingly the music is top notch.
