It’s hard to imagine a more perfect indie story
than that of Bastion, an RPG built around a few exceedingly clever
mechanics and a whole lot of clever narration. Well, not that hard, as
most successful indie RPGs don’t involve the former Editor in Chief of
one of the biggest game reviewing website on the planet, nor a half
dozen designers formerly of EA fame. What is actually harder to imagine
is that a group of people so steeped in mainstream gaming culture can
put out a product that’s so… unique.
So, to finally come clean, we weren’t really out to spread the news that Bastion
is coming to the PC on August the 16th. That’s definitely good news,
but in order to appreciate it, you’d have to know something about the game beforehand.
The main take away should be the fact the fact that this game exists
and is an incredibly compelling bit of artistry. The fact that you can
play it on PC as well as XBLA is just the universe compensating for the
Black Plague or something.
