And it says RPG, should we believe?
Bastion is not what I'd consider RPG; it is an action game with load-outs. But the general public out there seems to call it aRPG, so I guess it is, and likely the case with this game.

I would not call Bastion an RPG, and very little appealed to me in Bastion. That said, I'll keep a eye on this one, see how it develops.

I almost closed the window as soon as I saw "FROM THE CREATORS OF BASTION". Then I really closed the window when I saw that you were playing a chick with a large sword. In a sci-fi setting. Get fucked. It'll probably win more awards from the vidya awards, though.

It's shit, if even someone who enjoyed bastion found it annoying i guess.

Gay song.


Haven't played Bastion yet, is it any good? The fact that everyone, including both mainstream media and hipsters, sings its praises to high heaven made sceptic about its quality.

music is nice (fuck trash metal, electro and symphony lovers). But the game looks shit (this thing that she holds in her hands and all this phone-like look - bleh).

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Music is actually p. nice, but the artstlye is a bit too anime-ish for my tastes (gods, look at that giant cyber-sword). Gameplay looks like it could be fun but I don't see what's RPG about it.

Looks like hipster/douchebag/nexgen kids dream game. I.e. - like shit. Doesn't even look like an rpg. I don't mind the music and art style btw (although it is crappy).

I think it's going for $ 1 today on humble weekly sale. For that price, it's a fun romp. The art style nice enough, but there's not enough variation, so gets old rather quickly. The "narrator" is overrated. Works well with kb&m.

Great song. Like Muse without balls and less guitars. Gameplay looks cheesy as fuck.
