If you're a fan of The Binding of Isaac, you'll likely get a kick out of it's prequel. Featuring pretty basic match 4 puzzle game mechanics, Bumbo's roguelike adventure may not be quite as crazy as Isaac's, but with a charming Cardboard based artstyle and some expansions on the Isaac storyline, this game is worth giving a look even if it won't keep you as busy as it's predecessor.

It's certainly a slightly unpolished game, but it is still a pretty good time overall. There's a handful of visual bugs and some issues with the achievement popups in game and I think putting the level progression unlocks behind required playable characters is kinda annoying. Why do I have to play as Bumbo the Weird to unlock the final area of the game? Isaac never really hid any level progression behind specific characters, only the item unlocks. Small complaint and bugs aside, the main gameplay loop is surprisingly addictive. Edmund managed to make candy crush into a very fun strategy roguelite. If you liked Mewgenics for its slower paced fights and deck building strategy, maybe give Bumbo a try!
