Devil Deals where you can give up health for powerful items, and Angel Rooms where you can fight a boss by blowing up the statue.Devil Rooms that have a higher chance of appearing if you take no red heart damage on a floor encouraging cautious play, and so do Angel Rooms.Even if the pixel-art graphics have a different feel compared to the original game, the graphics are not only drawn well, they were also with multiple redesigns in Repentance.Random stats, random items and random look. If he dies, he'll come back as Lazarus Risen, with greater stats. Azazel can fly and shoots a short-range Brimstone.The more damage Samson takes, the more damage he deals. These items activate when she takes damage and when she has at most one red heart respectively. Eve starts with Whore of Babylon and Dead Bird.Starts with an item that summons a pile of poop. It cannot have Red Hearts health up items just add Soul Hearts to the 3 Soul Hearts it already starts with. ? is a character with slightly better stats than Isaac.This item increases his damage stat for one room. Cain starts with Lucky Foot which adds +1 to the luck stat and increases his chance of winning from things like Beggars and Slot Machines.Magdalene has 4 hearts compared to Isaac's 3, and she starts with the "Yum Heart!" item heals her by one whole heart.Good for when you don't like the item shown on a pedestal. Isaac, while not feeling special at first, can start with a D6 (if unlocked) that lets him reroll items.Multiple playable characters with differing stats and abilities.The soundtrack by Ridiculon, while not as charming as Danny Baranowsky's soundtrack for the original game, is good.The Bible not only grants flight, it can also defeat Mom and Mom's Heart/It Lives.The Wafer lets Isaac only take one half heart of damage from most sources of damage.

They synergize with Isaac's bomb effects. Fetus and Epic Fetus let Isaac shoot bombs and rockets respectively.


But the lowered tears stat is not the only concern. Ipecac lets Isaac lob green, explosive balls.It's powerful, but it reduces Isaac's tears stat. Brimstone lets Isaac shoot a red laser from his mouth.Tons of replay value thanks to everything being randomly generated making the game very addicting.
