The Legend of Bum-bo

The Legend of Bum-bo is a 2019 roguelike deck-building game developed by designer Edmund McMillen and programmer James Interactive.

The game was released for Microsoft Windows via Steam in November 2019[3] and Android by The Label in December 2020, and for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S by Nicalis in June 2022.

These minigames include a wheel that can be spun to increase a given attribute, and a shell game that players can play to earn an item.

[4] Due to personal issues, James Interactive did not proceed with fixing bugs and updating the game with new content.

In November 2020, McMillen announced that he had recruited The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth programmers Simon Parzer and Adrian Gavrilita to fulfill programming tasks and that further development would be moving forward, with a free downloadable content pack anticipated to be released in 2021.

The Legend of Bum-bo combines gameplay elements from multiple different video game genres. The player takes turns matching tiles on a board in order to cast spells, improve their defense, and attack the various enemies of the game.
