is flash issac worth buying?

im tryna figure out if i want it or not so any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated

It's generally a nice game.

It's got some performance issues, as you can imagine a flash game from the early 2010s to have. Occasional fps-drops as well as limited 30fps. Though it also has the charming graphics, making it all fit together nicely.

You will need both the main game and "Wrath of the Lamb" to have the similar base-content as Rebirth's base-game. But together they only cost 6,60€, so it's fairly cheap.

BUT it also had an update in 2015, the "Eternal Edition", for which one of the devs decided to fix a few things and even add some new content ONLY available on that version. It contains a different kind of hard-mode with new eternal versions of enemies and bosses, giving them new moves, a new room type as well as reducing the chance of a lot of strong items.
So, it does have some exclusive content not found in Rebirth.

But mostly, it really is a nice nostalgic experience for those who had played it back then.
I myself only recently went back to finish up all the achievements and to enjoy that final update.

Personally, I'd say no. Rebirth and the following DLCs are just so refined and high quality that going back to flash for any reason, other than nostalgia or gaming development research, would probably feel underwhelming.

Yeah, but if you are low on money you can get flash because it's just the same

Except with 1 dlc and less items

[The Renderer]

No, not at all.

Agreed. I used to love flash Isaac - I mean, it's what made me fall in love with Isaac in the first place. Buy playing it today... nah.

Yes, absolutely. No idea why people are saying that you shouldn't buy it. The artstyle and sound design are better and the gameplay is a completely different experience. Very fun to 100%.

[fromage_enrage]

Completely different experience lmao

[Danizk0]

What's funny?

[fromage_enrage]

That you're full of it

[Luna]

this wasnt supposed to lead to an argument
should have known the issac community would be like this tho with how long ive been here

[The Renderer]

You wanted opinions. And one guy is hardly "the Isaac community".

pretty sure there's at least two people in that argument

and besides your own post doesn't exactly help either
if you're gonna share your opinion you could at least explain your reasons couldn't you?

[Luna]

whatever this didnt help as much as i hoped so thanks for trying i guess
(this is mostly for the first two people. the ones who explained why it was and wasn't worth it)

I could. But you couldn't even be bothered to explain what you would be looking for in the original Isaac or what would make it "worth it" to you. So why should anyone take the time and provide a comprehensive essay on all the details on the off-chance that something of that might be what you are looking for? Ask sensible questions and you might get useful answers.
