Supergiant Games and Microsoft have announce that Bastion, the award-winning Action-RPG for Xbox Live Arcade, will be kicking off their Summer of Arcade promotion on July 20th. Having played it at E3 this year I’m completely excited to drop my $15 (1200 Microsoft Points) on this when it release.
Bastion received seven award wins and nine nominations coming out of E3, including Best Downloadable Game, Best Original Game, and Game of Show. The game invites players to take control of a character known as the Kid, who is thrust into a world that has crumbled around him. Players must now create a safe haven in order to build a new world from the remnants of the past. Bastion features lush and imaginative artwork as well as an innovative reactive narration system that responds to players’ actions in real time throughout the adventure. The game offers great gameplay customisation, a wide variety of unique enemies, and a deep story in a world that players can immerse themselves in. Bastion will also be available for PC later this year.
