Curse Tier List

[Legacy]

Hey guys, I figured out it would be funny to compare each other worst curses on BOI and see how it differs from one another, I'll go first :

1. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Curse of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Blind
.....
...
..
.

Wait, are they other curses ?

[Jevmen]

1. Curse of the ♥♥♥♥ you in the face and then i ♥♥♥♥ in your corpse
2. curse of the ''you should check your HP every time you enter a new floor, you didnt? well ♥♥♥♥ you then''
3. Curse of the ''no secret rooms for you unless you have photographic memory''
4. curse of the ''♥♥♥♥ you but you can still manage to play arround it but backtraking is garbage''
5. curse of the ''is a bit harder to see''
6. curse of the ''the ''this is actually a good thing''

With the sole exception of Curse of Labyrinth they're all "Garbage that doesn't add anything to the game other than making me not want to play it" tier. Adding curses to Isaac was akin to a chef making me an excellent meal with a chance of taking a big ♥♥♥♥ on my plate at any moment.

Yeah, is that

Curse of every doorway damages you similar to curse rooms in a maggy challenge

Curse of ultra hard

Curse of ??? Question marks pill

Curse of the tower

Curse of cursed eye

Curse of April fools

Curse of lose your stuff and become the lost because you do too many victory laps

[Jevmen]

They could make curse of the blind so you can see the image of the item but every pixel is black.
They could make curse of the unknow so you can see the health you have for the first 10 seconds so you dont regret not checking your Hp before entering the new floor

[Legacy]

I really love that idea of curse of the blind, the curse of the unknown seems a bit too easy since you know you're gonna lose sight of your Hps, so you'll focus on that before it vanishes.

Blind pisses me off the most, because it can easily derail a good run if you end up picking a garbage item and mess up devil/angel rooms. Of course you can just not pick up stuff, but you will be short of some items then.

Having curse of lost isn't that bad if you get it on early floors, but later on when the floors are bigger it is so freaking annoying, just running around like a moron. Simply forces you to spend more time on the floor.

Maze has managed to piss me off a lot too. Sure it can put you into some different room than you intended to go into, but most often it just keeps putting you in the same freaking room you just exited over and over again just to waste your time. Going for boss rush or Hush? Here, have curse of maze. Supposedly Repentance has reworked this one, so my opinion may change.

Curse of unknown is an annoyance. Doesn't necessarily ruin your run - just makes things more annoying.

Curse of darkness is simply another slightly annoying one. Doesn't really change anything.

Curse of labyrinth is one I'm happy to see. You can save a lot of time and having two items rooms on the same "floor" is neat.

Overall I don't like curses. They just tend to piss you off.

If there were more ways to get curse inmunity.
Actually you can get Dagaz or Balck candle. (The lantern and spelunker heals only curse of the darkness)

Considering the worse curse is curse of the vlind are more ways to heal that curse too like if Glass/vision related stuff cures curse of the blind (20/20, x ray vision, bookworm...)

Curses seem like a half developed idea, usually rogelikes use the risk reward system, the curses are just a punch in the nuts because the game hates you, is not fun at all.

Curse of the laberynt is the only one that offers something.
Just 1 deal with the devil/angels and only 1 shop, 1 secret and super secret rooms, but you can save a lot of time if you want to go to hush or the boss rush and big floors also have adventages like full floor buffs (imagine you have just 1 card of the world or a Mama mega)

Theres also curse of darkness from Glaucoma

But I guess thats now "Old curse of darkness".
