The game takes place in the aftermath of the Calamity, a catastrophic event that suddenly fractured the city of Caelondia and most (if not all) of the world as people knew it into many pieces and led to an infestation of hostile creatures. Players take control of The Kid, a silent protagonist who awakens on one of the few remaining pieces of the old world and sets off for the titular Bastion, where everyone agreed to go in troubled times. He finds almost nothing left upon arrival, but is told by a wise old man called Rucks that together, they could build a stronghold named The Bastion. The Kid then embarks on a quest to the various Cores that once powered Caelondia, so that they can be used to power the Bastion, while the old man narrates his adventure and provides details on what exactly has happened.

This amazing indie game was released earlier this year, first for XBLA then later for PC.

I bought it while it was 75% off, too. I've logged a few hours, and I like it. You'd think it would get repetitive, but with the different loadouts of weapons and potions, and the upgrades and idol challenges, the game stays fun and exciting. The art is amazing, and the story is simple yet enticing, with a cool narrator.

Narrator is the entire reason I got the game. "[i]The kid just rages for a while...[/i]"
I have it on XBLA, and I must say that it's a surprisingly good game.
I really enjoyed the storyline, and having all the weapon/potion combinations to choose from easily doubled the amount of time I could put into it.
Sexy narrator voice gave me chills sometimes, just because. xD
