As a seasoned gamer with countless hours clocked into the world of roguelikes, I can confidently say that The Binding of Isaac: Repentance has been a gem in my gaming collection since its release in 2014. The recent Repentance+ update has only served to reignite my passion for this game.


Among the top-tier roguelike games, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth stands out, as indicated by 96% positive reviews on Steam. First released in 2014, this game continues to expand with new content. In 2021, a DLC called Repentance was unveiled, and now, three years later, we can experience Repentance+ (for details, check out the full patch notes). This free update brings numerous additions, but the most significant is the introduction of online cooperative play.

The Binding of Isaac Repentance 2024 Update Patch Notes

In the latest update of “The Binding of Isaac Repentance,” the most significant new feature is the addition of online cooperative play. This option was previously tested and is now accessible in the public build. As a result, you can now join your friends to play across all modes such as Normal, Hard, Greed, Greedier, or Challenges. Additionally, there are Daily Runs that have been tweaked for this update. For instance, when defeating a boss, all players will receive rewards instead of just the player who defeated it initially.

Additionally, there are more rewards to look forward to: unlocking achievements and new items while playing with friends. However, one drawback is that you need to turn off all active mods to play online. Be aware that Repentance+ has a separate mod folder – Users\XY\Documents\My Games\Binding of Isaac Repentance+\mods. You can move your old mods there, but it’s important to note that they might not function correctly until their developers update them. This could potentially lead to issues during gameplay.

Absolutely, there are additional novelties as well. The power level of 25 items has been enhanced. Here’s a rundown:

  1. Abyss
  2. Kidney Bean
  3. Mars
  4. Mega Bean
  5. Void

In addition to resolving numerous issues (bugs), developers have adjusted pricing for certain items. Nevertheless, be aware that the Repentance+ may still contain a few lingering bugs.
