i just got the game sometime in Aug. Serious disappointment it had to go to sales so soon

I'll post up a short review.

Things i like so far
+ Active narrations can be witty sometimes.
+The combat, surprisingly, its fun as i thought it might be annoying like Death Spank's one.
+ The weapons feels different from each other, and there are reasons to use different weapons.
+The option to customise your difficulty is awesome by the Shrine mcehanics.
+ Environments is beautiful, despite its just 2D.

Things i dont really like so far
- It doesnt seem to have a wide variety of enemies.
- Challenge series is quite tough for me.
- The soundtrack is pretty meh at time, but it can be very very good at times.
- I am still unsure whats happening in the storyline after 3.6 hours in the game.
- The lack of other voices in the game is a bit underwhelming.

Conclusion so far: Still love it, despite it is slightly disappointing due to the hype around this game. Bastion have been a pretty good independent game so far to me. My 7.50USD is well spent. If you have 7.50USD to spare, get this game. It is worth playing.

Hmm... not sure if you're sharing the same sentiment as I do. I'm just a lil' disappointed that a great game like Bastion gets thrown into the offer bin so early while others might get disappointed due to them getting the game at full price.

Anyway, looking at the bright side, this promotion will lead to more gamers owning a copy of Bastion & experience for themselves the topsy-turvy world of Caelondia.

I am still pretty surprised that it went on sale so soon though.

it is pretty well received but i dont know why they went on sale so soon.

Thanks for the honest review. Pertaining to the cons, do allow me to counter a few of them.

It doesnt seem to have a wide variety of enemies.
You'll soon encounter more types of enemy once you progress deeper into the plot.

Challenge series is quite tough for me.
Tough if you're new to the game or the weapon levels are too low. You'll pwn them easily once you're used to how the different weapons work.

I am still unsure whats happening in the storyline after 3.6 hours in the game.
No worries. The revelation will come once you meet up with some survivors.

Ah thanks, well, as i mentioned its my first impression.

I found some survivors, but i am still unsure whats happening. :/ Maybe im missing out too much.

Ah, cheese review always poison my mind. will get this tonight...again..
lately been getting many indie games from indie bundle, and Halloween sales

well maybe its in offer bin to attract more sales.

gabe did mention that a game with discounts, the sales jumped up exponentially.
