Game not saving
Game breaking bug
:|
that said, this mobile version has some issues
as some people seem to complain about the controls- i think the controls on mobile are fine except for just a few items that feel near unusable (e.g. epic fetus), can be a little annoying but barely enough to be an actual problem.
main problem is, progress in the game is super susceptible to getting corrupted and reset if the game closes mid-run
you can avoid this to an extent, but if your phone dies or your game crashes randomly it can delete hours up to days of progress
maybe i’m just used to online console games and its a limitation of the mobile medium but i’ve had this happen enough times where i felt the need to leave a review complaining about it :/
STUPID CONTROL!
Issac on iOS Can be GOOD! But HOLY PLEASE FIX THE GAME
The last Update was to fix Forgotten Needing A trinket to change to the ghost, and fixing pocket actives and adding more controls to Tainted Characters.
This was Almost 3 YEARS AGO, and ever since then, there has been countless bugs, unusable items + Trinkets, Awful control changes for no reason, save file corruption and many MANY more.
Issue One / The controls:
The Controls are really awful, and are a major downgrade from the previous ones before the DLCS were buyable, Dropping Trinkets are on the bottom left of the screen, now this sounds fine… but the button is INVISIBLE, not to mention, if you even GRAZE the near the trinket button, you simply stop moving and stop in-place, this is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL to deal with, and requires an unnecessary odd finger placement just to avoid the trinket button, and that’s just one of the issues, due to the screen now being much smaller, the Moving controls on iPad are AWFUL, they block the screen, are annoying, can make it difficult to use them if you drag them too far away from the area, and are simply a nuisance, this was not an issue as they were completely stopped in place in the previous update, now they move all over the place for no reason whatsoever.
Issue Two / Items + Trinkets + Items being unusable:
Items like D-Infinity and Blood Bombs / Trinkets like RC Remote and blood clots / golden bombs at 0 Bombs, and many more are simply useless without a controller, blood bombs and golden bombs can’t be used at 0 bombs due to the fact that the bombs button disappears at 0 bombs, items like D-Infinity can’t be switched due to the fact there’s no button or action to switch them, and RC car and Blood clots can’t allow you to move them separately due to the fact the button doesn’t appear, these items and trinkets and pickups can’t not be used without the use of a controller, and without a controller these things become UTTERLY USELESS making them pointless deadweight, in the previous update, you could switch D-Infinity with the trinket button due to it acting like a Key, but now that it’s been fixed, you simply can NOT use D-infinity or other items like it.
Issue Three / Dailies being (Semi)unplayable:
The button to play dailies is completely grayed out, so how are you meant to unlock some of the Unlocks that requires you to play Dailies? Simple! Just turn off airplane mode / the Wifi, turn it back on, and then QUICKLY press the button as the WiFi comes back on before it grays out again, this will take MANY attempts to even be able to do so, this is MISERABLE to deal with, and without the knowledge of what you need to do to ungray the button, it practically makes the unlocks Unobtainable.
The Third and biggest issue / complete Save file reversals / deletion:
Thankfully I’ve never experienced this issue, but the fact that this can happen is really bad, it isn’t possible to copy a save file so when one of these do happen, it is simply impossible to do anything, this is not only really awful, but can also be extremely demotivating and can Ruin the game and any enjoyment of it.
Yes the binding of Isaac is a very well made and fairly polished game, and While I enjoy the binding of Issac, I simply do not recommend YOU get it on iOS, it simply has too many issues for it to be worth it, all I can hope is one day these issues can be fixed, but until then, NEVER PLAY THIS GAME IN IOS.
