I always knew that this game was amazing and I bought a 3ds mainly to play this game. I ended up selling my ds later on and I always thought that this game was perfect on a handheld device because of how easy it is to run and because of its quick paced nature. The port is incredibly easy to use and is the same thing as on the ds or computer (when talking about the menu ui). This game has all of the items from the computer version and I'm hoping they will continue to add the dlc from the computer which I'm sure they will because of how much praise this app is getting. I hadn't even read anything on this app before I bought it. The second I saw it i dropped $15 because I knew that it would be worth it. This is a great game with great devs and I know that they care about the community and will continue to refine this game. Since it just came out the movement is a little hard but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I just wish you could adjust where the little joysticks are because I have big fingers and would like them to be a little farther away because on portrait mode it's hard for me. The portrait mode made me really excited because it felt like the ds and was incredibly clean and easy to look at. However because I have an IPhone SE which is basically the size of the 5, my fingers often bump into each other while playing which is a big problem. This game is however I think to be one of the best games the App Store has to offer and it was 100% worth the money.

Love the game, have played countless hours, and when the update came out where I can get the DLC’s I was ecstatic. The only thing I don’t appreciate about the update was the change of the controls. The D-pad in the old version was much better. In this new version the sensitivity cuts out before my finger even slides all the way off the screen. I also preferred the old layout because I could still see the time of day on the screen while playing, which is something I strangely really appreciated.If I had my way, I would request that the controls were reverted, and after the update, the quality seemed to be kind of hazy and the screen felt smaller in a way that I didn’t really like. Maybe if there was an option in settings to revert the screen to the old layout that could be incredible.I haven’t played around enough to know if the update fixed it or not but I also knew of no way to switch the item being held, like if I had Little Baggy, there seemed to be no way to alternate which pill I could select, which made it kind of useless. Not a big deal though, just something I noticed.Thanks for the good work.

I LOVE THIS GAME. Seriously, this game is amazing in many ways. Having a lot of replayability and the excitement of unlocking new items and content. And the mobile port greatly conveys the pc port to mobile. However while playing I have noticed some minor bugs. I'm an AB+ player so all of the bugs I cover are in AB+. 1st bug is that for some reason whenever you fight the boss “delirium” The boss does a static event when you either defeat him or take a long time. And for some reason on mobile when delirium does this my game crashes sometimes. This can be really annoying at times. The second bug I'd like to report is that once you unlock the achievement “Rerun” and gain the ability to redo your previous run, You can never actually use Rerun on mobile. No matter how much you press it never allows you to rerun. So to summarize this review, The binding of issac is a great game. However it does include some minor bugs so I would consider getting the PC port. But over this is a great game in general. I hope that they can fix these bugs next patch.

You know, I’ve played the snot out of this game on PC/Mac. I’ve watched countless hours of The Adventures of Northernegg. I love Isaac. My primary computer is also an iPad Pro (GASP!!!). I’ve been using an iPad at least as a primary mobile computer since 2013, and I’ve never used an iPad without a keyboard. I know that I’m not the only one, especially with Apple marketing the Smart Keyboard accessory so much these days. The keyboard controls for Isaac on Windows and Mac are great, so why is it so hard to have keyboards supported for input on this version? My only guess is that Nicalis very obviously was dismissive of porting the game to *mobile* (read: phones) and just phoned in the port. That would also explain why there have been zero updates to this version of the game. No ability to access Afterbirth/AB+ content. Yet, everything else here seems fine in terms of performance/stability (can’t know that very well though because I can’t get through a complete game with the crappy touch controls). Simply adding keyboard support and access to the expansions as in-app purchases would put this port on par with the desktop versions of the game and it’s incredibly frustrating that the publisher doesn’t seem to care. At least we have controller support, but even that’s very small consolation considering that nobody actually wants to go out and spend 50 bucks on an MFi controller.
