Well, what you’d end up with would be something like the PC/Mac game “The Binding of Isaac”.
It’s a dark and unforgiving adventure that has the main character running the abomination infested labyrinths beneath his house to escape his crazed mother. Take a look:

Ok, so that was a little weird. Game footage looks pretty good though. Here's the story set up:
The game takes pages right from Zelda handbook, with a reminiscent top down viewpoint, hidden doors ready to be bombed and more than one boss or monster that reminds me of baddies from “A Link to the past.” Find the Pin boss fight and tell me it doesn’t remind you of the lanmola one in the Zelda SNES classic.
It’s a great throwback and excellent skeleton off which to pin this grim gaming experience. While it has no continues (meaning you start over each time you run out of life), It’s got enough diversity with it’s random dungeon generation – bosses, items and baddies included – that’ll keep you coming back for more.
That being said, the game’s probably darker than some would like. I mean, your main weapon is the tears your character’s crying… That’s how frightened and disturbed he is! Watch the videos above again to decide if you could stand the sometimes exceptionally gruesome experience.
Good? Good. Now head over to Steam to purchase it. It’s worth the money.
