The story is kind of weak, and somewhat predictable. You can make the game harder by using "idols", but the standard setting won't strain you too much. The game is kind of short, as I clocked in about 8-9 hours on my first playthrough, and it's not too terribly challenging. There are also leaderboards and other challenges, so there is a lot to keep you busy. There are tons of other nice little additions like being able to build up the Bastion (your home base) and playing mini game challenges for prizes. The game is easy to get into and plays great. Each button is assigned to a various action, with one button swinging your main melee weapon, another using a ranged weapon, and another using a healing potion. While Bastion can be controlled with either the keyboard or joystick, the joystick felt much more comfortable and natural to use. The music is also a treat, as the tracks build they play out beautifully and hauntingly against the games somewhat depressing storyline. Graphically, Bastion looks great for an indie game, filled with lush colors and detailed characters and landscapes. It definitely adds a nice touch that really builds the atmosphere and depth of the game. This is done by Logan Cunningham, who does the voice of Rucks the old man, and it is done fabulously. Immediately from the beginning of Bastion, the game narrates your nearly every move.
