Bastion , released for the Playstation Vita in 2018, is an action-packed adventure game that follows the story of a city called Caelondia after it's destroyed by a disaster known as "Calamity". The player takes on the role of a silent protagonist, nicknamed "The Kid", who must create a safe haven with the help of Rucks, the narrator. As The Kid travels through the world, they'll encounter various enemies and foes that need to be defeated using melee and ranged weapons, as well as special skills. The gameplay in Bastion is all about strategy and upgrading. The Kid can only hold two weapons and one special skill at a time, which means switching them out to suit the situation. Mementos can be collected and discussed with other characters, while fragments serve as the main currency for purchasing upgrades and useful items in the game's headquarters, Bastion. There are six buildings to restore and utilize, each with its own unique features.
One of the standout features of Bastion is its dynamic narration system, which responds to the player's actions. The narrator will comment on events as they unfold, adding a sense of immersion and personality to the game. As The Kid progresses through the story, they'll unlock new abilities, items, and upgrades that will aid them in their quest.
The Bastion itself is a character in its own right, with six buildings to restore and utilize. From the Distillery, where spirits can be assigned for passive bonuses, to the Shrine, where the game's difficulty can be increased by invoking the gods, each building has its own unique features and challenges.
