The Legend Of Bum-Bo: 10 Things You Need To Know

9. It's A 'Deckbuilding Roguelike'...

THE LEGEND OF bum-bo
Edmund McMillen

One of the best attributes of The Binding of Isaac was just how customisable your characters were. You could have a legion of babies doing the damage for you, or you could have a psychic laser that shot down enemies in seconds. While nowhere near as customisable as Isaac (which has had multiple large scale expansions) Bumbo looks to be following in its footsteps by becoming a 'Deckbuilding Roguelike'.

As you progress through the game, you collect trinkets or spells which increase your ability to defeat enemies. These items can be combined to yield some devastating results as you progress through the game.

As not all the items have been revealed, it's tough to tell just how varied each run could be, but considering how much customisation there was even in the earliest editions of Isaac, there's plenty of hope to be had for Bumbo.
