can I use my 360 controller?
is it better than Dungeon Defenders? cuz I'm playing that non-stop right now, Portal Gun + Pierce Shot is uber sweet

I just played 5 hours of this in one sitting. If you can muster up the $7.50, get this game.

You can indeed use your 360 controller.

I haven't played dungeon defenders. but bastion is sweet. It is dangerously pretty, fun Dungeon-walking monster slashing action. Kinda like a Torchlight that moves faster. Theres also a Demo.

Dungeon Defenders and Bastion are two different Genres. Bastions an Action Dungeon Crawler while Dungeon Defenders a Tower Defense Game.

Though if you really like the combat in DD you'll like Bastions.

First Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, now this. Thanks, midweek madness.

ARGH...and still I wait for a PSN version! STILL! (And sacrificing local pets and orphans to the Old Ones has yet to grant me my wish!)

Dungeon Defender's combat bits and Torchlight dungeon crawling style! Okay I'm buying this ASAP

I purchased this for through the XBLA whilst the summer promotion was in full swing. That and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and From Dust, but that's a different thread.

Bastion is very novel, it's narration a unique way of telling a tale. I'm not quite certain as to the level of praise thrown at it though - sure it's a nice change but it isn't as reactionary as it is made out to be.

That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the game, took me about 12 hours to see everything the game had to offer - so it exceeds it's GBP1/hour rule I have for games.

Neat! I already have it though. Definitely a great game, and worth the money.

Be sure to get the Soundtrack edition if you can since the game has a beautiful soundtrack.

Case in point:

Adding to this that if you're an IGN prime member they are giving away the sound track for a limited time for free and the soundtrack is awesome!

I almost want to say don't do it. I really like that soundtrack, and they put a lot of effort and money into it (particularly for a small game) that you should buy the physical CD from their Bandcamp page.

Bought the Soundtrack Edition,damn you Steam for your Midweek Madness and reduced prices.

 

[lordlillen]

i already bought but i used this as an opertunity to get the soundtrack for cheap.

Question: My computer is a dual-booted Mac (I don't want to hear about it), and though obviously I'll be playing the game itself in Windows I spend most of my time in OSX. I noticed that the soundtrack is listed on Steam as being Windows-only but I'm not certain how much sense that makes, given that I thought it was just in mp3 format.

So if I buy the soundtrack will I be able to listen to it on Mac? If Steam won't let me download it directly I could always transfer it.

The soundtrack pack just tosses in a folder containing the music files right in your Bastion folder within Steam, which is easily copied or what have you. Can't see a reason as to why you wouldn't be able to work with it.
