Its presentation is similar to the classic 'Legend of Zelda' However, its narrative and story line exploring religious and child abuse themes give 'The Binding of Isaac' a unique and dark meta narrative which games generally avoid. This 2011 action role playing game is a top down 2D dungeon crawler game, in which players explore the dungeons in Isaac's basement. Emotionally wrenching 2D dungeon crawler rework of the Biblical narrative.
