Bastion Review

For those who have played Bastion, here are crucial answers to critical questions: yes, the entire contents of the original game is included in this download, including all of the music and narration, and (fortunately) there is nothing that can be unlocked by need the purchase of in-game credits. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, the controls work and work very well. I was initially dubious. After all, this is a game originally designed for a dual-stick console like the PS3 or Xbox360. However, developer Supergiant Games crafted an original control scheme for touch screen that works elegantly. There are no virtual joystick (you can use the standard controls to this more traditional approach to change), but the player clicks on the screen to guide the child. If there is something in the destructible environment, whether enemy or inanimate object, The Kid will shoot at them, if it is within range of his weapon. Want to switch weapons? Just click on the virtual button on the side of the screen. The only control that can be used to take some time to complete, is the shield, which is available via a virtual button on the bottom of the screen. Nevertheless, the controls MILES above most action-adventure games on the iPad.

For those who have not played Bastion, you have no excuse. It's a bargain - $ 4.99 for the full version of the game - and it's a beautiful, smart, absolutely one-of-a-kind experience. Buy. Then tell someone to buy it.
