See, calling in a baby friend (no, co-op players actually are babies) will cost a slice of your life, and they may come with a terrible curse.Ĭo-op players steal a heart away from player one when they join, and while the baby gets the same abilities as Isaac currently has (or whoever you're playing as), both deal reduced damage.

Designer Edmund McMillen has explained how it'll all work and, from the sound of things, Rebirth's co-op will bring the joys of friendship without necessarily losing the thrills of trying not to die. Local co-op coming in The Binding of Isaac's remake may sound jolly exciting but are you concerned that having help might turn the roguelike-like into a game for, not just about, babies? Relax! Take a chill pill, pal.
