Bastion is an action RPG set in a shattered, floating world, following a survivor known as the Kid as he rebuilds a central sanctuary called the Bastion while battling through ruins narrated by a distinctive, reactive storyteller.

Combat blends a variety of melee and ranged weapons with upgradeable abilities, while the game's dynamic narration comments on the player's actions in real time. Its hand painted art style and memorable narrative voice have made it a widely praised entry in the action RPG genre.
