Ok now that is out of the way Bastion review.

Bastion is an indie game that was brought out this summer for 15USD on steam and some amount of Microsoft points on XBLA, made by the developers Supergiant games this is their first project of hopefully many more to come. Most of these the people who coded the game Bastion have broken off the the big guys cause they wanted to make their own games so like most indie games it was made by 5-10 people in someones basement.

Bastion is your basic Diablo feel RPG you see monsters you click on them they die, this is not the draw of the game the draw of the game is the story telling of the game as you play it. This is done by having a person tell the story like you would to someone seeing nothing and the game is your imagination of what he is telling at you at least that is how i feel it was. There are three acts to this game The Bastion, The Wild and The ura in each act you find new enemies new skills and new weapons they also have a place called the forge where you can upgrade your weapon with more power. 

Now for my personal experience in the game straight away i run off the edge to see if i could and the narrator made a joke about that was the moment i knew it was going to be a good game. So i got myself a hammer and started whacking stuff then my first enemy appeared was some weird looking slug and it died in one hit it was not satisfying. Then i went into a bar and picked up some repeater crossbow that was even worse than the hammer but it was ranged never the less you can guess i did not use it much. Finally i got to my home base the bastion and they gave me the ability to build things to shape my small town with one friend.

This post is getting a little long i will post part 2 of my review tomorrow or the next day either way very soon.
