Never have I been THIS pumped-up and excited for original anime, because unique shows are a dime a dozen of few hits and many misses. "It is for me to decide which WORLD to live in!" Just don't be surprised if you come away disappointed."The world must be rid of bugs." Sorry, let me rephrase that: "The world NEEDS bugs." With all that: Login/Logout of the Deca-Dence.
#THE LAST BASTION NETFLIX REVIEWS FOR FREE#
If you purchase on PS4, you'll get this version for free anyway, and can at least satisfy any surging curiosity. If you've somehow still not played Bastion then you'll find yourself immersed in its narrative direction, role-playing techniques, bold and brazen action, and well-honed mechanics.Ĭonsider another platform to set off on your adventure, though, as both the tablet and home console versions handle Bastion so much better. We're left with a thrown together port that - admittedly - does work well as a handheld title with pick-up-and-play properties, but could have given us so much more. We also feel there was huge potential for a harmonious marriage between buttons and touchscreen, yet both opportunities have been squandered. We would have loved to have been given a choice between classic controls and touch interface.
Using the stiff D-Pad to navigate menus also feels like a chore, as the game refuses to allow you to use the analogs or touch for ease or convenience.

Likewise, the sound seems rather tinny and full of echoes unless you're using good quality headphones. The Vita's screen does allow the game to shine and sparkle in all it's dazzling glory, though the frame-rate really suffers when the action gets fast and furious. But while it is wonderful to relive Bastion on Playstation 4 with sharper visuals and crisper sound, the experience is a poor accompaniment on handheld. It also means one purchase nets you the game on both formats. The Vita version also benefits from both Cross Buy and Cross Save functionality with the Playstation 4, so any progress you make on your daily commute or on the commode can be enjoyed on a bigger screen at a later date. You're still fighting Windbags, Gasfellas and Scumbags, listening to the deliciously dulcet tones of Logan Cunningham and getting all the additional extras that have been developed for the game, like No Sweat Mode and Leaderboard support. Where they said you’d beĭespite all that, it remains an excellent game. Unfortunately, this Vita version feels a little slapped together. Touch reinvigorated the aging indie, breathing new life into it and encouraging another playthrough. The mobile versions require you to tap your screen to move, and are completely reliant on auto-aimīased on that style of play, Bastion felt fresh. The flow and tempo of the game is also very different. The crossbow here feels solid, whereas on touch it lacked impact. Not that there's anything wrong with controlling Bastion with buttons. There’s no way to change that in the settings either.Ĭonsidering the success of the tablet and mobile versions of Bastion, this omission is completely perplexing.īastion clearly works well this way, but apparently the Vita - with its front-facing and rear-touch-pad - doesn’t need to entertain the idea because it has buttons. The biggest surprise is that Bastion on Vita doesn’t make use of touch. Instead though, the experience has been nothing short of a tremendous let-down. So you can imagine why we felt the potential for a Vita port was huge, that this could be the definitive edition of a classic game. We reviewed the iOS version back in 2012 and gave it a deserved Gold Award, for the high quality content on offer and the intuitive way it made use of touch-screen controls. The game is actually older than Sony's handheld.
The fact that Bastion is only coming out on Vita now is a brutal indication of how far the mighty handheld has fallen over the last few years.
