Isaac escapes into the basement, where he faces hordes of grotesque monsters, his lost siblings, his fears, and eventually his mother.
The gameplay is inspired by classic games like The Legend of Zelda and Rogue. You control Isaac or one of the other playable characters as you explore randomly generated rooms filled with enemies, traps, secrets, and treasures.

Each boss has its own attack patterns and weaknesses that you have to learn and exploit. Defeating bosses rewards you with more items or unlocks new content.
