Ugh, playing as Jacob & Esau in Binding of Isaac absolutely sucks. It's two characters controlled simultaneously in a game that was built around using a single character, and if either character dies, you lose. The game still has the same amount of item drops for the single characters, so you have to decide who gets what. Instead of a single decently powerful character, this results in two mediocre characters who can only survive if the stars align and you manage to snag a godly combination of powerups. These two chumps need a serious overhaul.

There's a reason games with multiple simultaneously-controlled characters only only do it in specific sections built around it. But BoI is a roguelike, so there's loads of randomization at play. I spent the past four hours on the easiest difficulty trying to get them to an end boss and failed.
