Ahhh yes, the good, nostalgic isaac built on flash engine- Its a big piece of history that shows the evolution of not only edmund mcmillen's games, but also roguelites in general. Not to mention absolutely gorgeous soundtracks made by Danny Baranosky, with my favourite being "respite". For this price this game is an absolute steal for the amount of content it provides, tho i must admit it has its own flaws. Aside from obvious ones (given the game was released in 2011, damn i feel old) like visibly lower framerate, or tendencies to lag when theres a lot going on screen (especially when unlocking new stuff i get like 5 seconds screen freeze) this game lacks any way of saving a started run, meaning you need to play it from start to finish in one go. Its not really a huge one, but some might find it troubling. The biggest one tho, is that DLC introduces eternal enemis, and HOLY, some rooms are straight up IMPOSSIBLE to clear no hit, which renders the game a bit unfair. Mind you i have 100% the binding of isaac repentence with over 800hours on record. Personally I LOVE hard games, and classic isaac is exactly that. I feel like its meant to be played as as a piece of art- maybe outdated, and flawed in some ways, but its just like youre going to the museum- you go there to objects that are old, often imperfect and even damaged by time, but its exactly what makes them valuable. And i feel the same about flash isaac. Its a piece of old, well preserved art, showing capabilities of small indie dev working on Adobe flash engine in 2010's. If youre casual player, you might better play rebirth and then decide whether you want to see its origins or not- but if you are retro games fan, or simply enjoy learning about history of games- this one, is a great exhibition to study in this massive museum of games that Steam has to offer.
