Similarly to the first DLC, Afterbirth+ offers many novelties for fans. Veterans can count on tens of unique items that can create even more powerful or surprising combinations. There are also new monsters dwelling on every floor, which can be checked in added bestiary in main menu. As we explore labyrinth of basement, we can find new rooms, including very rare chambers with precious treasures.

Game modes

The add-on introduces new difficulty level for Greed mode, as well as new final chapter of the story, with unique ending and additional boss. Players also received another playable character and five more challenges.
