Maybe it's the bosses.There were bosses in every level, I think. Occasionally there's a narrow hallway lined with turrets to fight down, but usually it's just fighting monsters in colorful, rectangular areas.

They're just a series of flat platforms that appear for you to fight monsters on. While the art style is memorable, the levels are not. My lasting impression of Bastion when I think of it as a whole is that it's dull. You can even do timed parries with a shield if you want to master it.Įven with its smooth mechanics, unique art style, and excellent voice acting, Bastion somehow manages to be a little less than the sum or its parts. Roll in, melee attack, roll out, pepper enemies with ranged attacks. It's a top-down combat game with dodge roll mechanics. The combat and character control are smooth and polished. It's actually surprising it isn't spectacular considering so many of its parts are exceptional. Bastion isn't a spectacular game, but it's solid. I played Bastion in 2020, about eight years after reviewers collectively creamed their underwear over it, and the question is: how does it hold up? If you're looking for a quick-paced, minimally-challenging way to spend a single Saturday while you sip a 6 pack, I recommend Bastion. I spend just over 6 hours to beat it, which includes a bunch of time spent in optional "proving grounds" which turned out to be unnecessary.
Once I got the health leeching skill and combined it with the skill that improves heath tonics I was practically unkillable. I used a single weapon loadout the whole way through and died ONCE which was from sheer laziness. Who you fight in general seems disjointed with the story. It's baffling that there are none in the last third of the game, which left it feeling anti-climactic. I finally realized the story after finishing the game and still feel indifferent about it. A buttery-voiced narrator tells the story over the course of the game, and he will talk during intense combat with loud music accompaniment. However, some will suit you much more than others, so you'll just spend the whole game using your favorite one anyway.
There are about 10 to find over the course of the game, and once you find one you have it permanently. I also really like the variety of the weapons which reminded me of Contra. Several tracks are going right into my workout mix. The pace and energy really makes combat come alive. The highlight is the catchy Western/Electronica music. I highly recommend playing it.įun-ish shoot-em-up that is very easy and rather short. This game is easy to pick up and put down, it is very fun, and doesn't require a huge time commitment. Given this is one of Supergiant's first titles it is really fun and a very respectable starting place. But, Supergiant Games has only gotten better with time as their later titles Transistor and the recent and very highly acclaimed Hades have just gotten better and better in terms of quality and length. For what it is the game is really fun, if a bit short. There are so many weapons and special weapon skills that they really could have cut some of that extensive variety and just focused on making a longer and more fleshed out game instead. Really my only critique would be that the amount of levels was decent but maybe could have been more. The plot is slightly vague but still actually quite good and has an emotional ending. And there many fun challenges and weapons and weapon upgrades. It adds a lot of flavor to the experience without overdoing it. There is a narrator who talks sometimes but really just enough and not too much. This game straddles the line between beat-em-up and platformer. You also get a plethora of weapons and trick moves to interact with the mobs of foes. I describe it like a beat em up because the screen often gets filled with enemies who take a certain number of hits before dying and are ghosts and beasts in addition to people. The scenery is very colorful and pleasing to look at.
Also, the path is floating in space and sorta builds itself right in front of you as you go which is weird but wonderful.

First off, how to describe it? Well, it is kinda like a beat em-up but instead of side scrolling it has levels that are semi-3D and have you traversing towards the corners of the screen in a kinda sorta isometric fashion rather than right left up and down. I went into this game blind but was very pleasantly surprised by it.
