Edmund McMillen made this sport. I don’t need to let you know that as a result of if you already know who Edmund McMillen is then you already know what all of his unholy creations appear like.

The Legend of Bum-bo is a randomly generated, turn-based puzzle RPG the place you’re taking the position of Bum-bo (from the The Binding of Isaac) as he punches the faces off hordes of paper goons and takes their cash, that are then wasted on video games on the native on line casino. It’s very crude and silly, with dumb voices and monsters which might be piles of poo.
It’s additionally intensely charming and I do know I’m going to fall in love with it.

Perfectly pure response, proper? Monsters want their cash. That’s Capitalism 101. You’ll use your rubbish and your wits and your timing to convey down every little thing this sub-world can throw at you.
“Every dungeon Bum-bo enters will be randomly generated,” Edmund McMillen says, “and much like Isaac feature hoards of monsters, bosses, traps, puzzles and randomly chosen spells, so each run will be totally unique and each successful play through will unlock more items, trinkets, playable characters and more.”
