These spirits alter and enhance the Kid's abilities in a number of different ways. Between levels, the Kid visits the Bastion, where he can use the fragments he has acquired to purchase weapon upgrades and spirits. They are found laying about in the different environments and are dropped by enemies upon defeat. There is a currency in Bastion known as fragments, or pieces of the Old World. In order to progress, the Kid must defeat enemies using a variety of melee and ranged weaponry while collecting items and leveling up his attributes with experience points along the way. The Kid moves through fantasy-themed environments that form up underneath his feet as he moves thorough each level. Gameplayīastion is an action RPG with a level structure that emphasizes fast paced and frantic gameplay. In the New Game+ mode, which is unlocked after beating the game once, it is hinted that restoring the world did not prevent the Calamity. The game ends, either way, showing images of the characters (with the inclusion of Zulf if the player chose to rescue him) flying away or of their lives before the Calamity along with the credits. Rucks is unsure if there is any way to prevent the Calamity from reoccurring if the time is rewound, as there was no way to test the process. If he chooses to carry Zulf, Ura archers initially open fire on them but ultimately cease-fire and watch silently as the Kid and Zulf take the skyway back to the Bastion.Īfter the Kid returns and recovers, Rucks gives him another choice: He can have the Bastion rewind time to before the Calamity in the hopes of preventing it or use it to evacuate the survivors and move on to somewhere safe. If he leaves Zulf behind, the Kid destroys the Ura's remnants and escapes through a skyway. The Kid can choose to drop his weapon to help Zulf or leave him. There, he discovers Zulf being attacked by his people: the battle with the Kid has devastated the Ura forces, and they blame Zulf for bringing the Kid to their home. The Kid travels to the once-underground Ura homeland to retrieve the last shard. When he finally blasts through an Ura outpost and meets Zia, she tells him that she had left with the Ura voluntarily to find out their intentions Rucks had previously told Zia that the Bastion had the ability to fix the Calamity somehow. In the next seven days, The Kid engages in sporadic skirmishes in Ura territory. As he obtains the penultimate shard needed, the Ura attack the Bastion, damaging it and abducting Zia. To repair Zulf's damage to the Bastion, the Kid starts collecting Shards, a lesser form of Cores. Venn rigged the weapon to backfire so that when he was finally forced to trigger it, the resulting Calamity destroyed most of Caelondia as well. He had helped Caelondian scientists ('Mancers') build a weapon intended to eradicate the Ura to prevent another war. The Kid learns that the journal belonged to Zia's father, Venn, who had worked for the Caelondians. Both of them return to the Bastion, but upon reading a journal that the Kid discovers, Zulf intentionally damages parts of the Bastion's central device (the monument) and returns to Ura territory. A device in the Bastion can use the power of the crystalline Cores to create landmasses and structures and enable the Kid to travel farther afield via 'skyways' that propel him through the air.ĭuring his quest, the Kid meets two more survivors: Zulf, an ambassador from the Ura, underground-dwelling people with whom Caelondia was once at war and Zia, an Ura girl raised in Caelondia. The only survivor he meets is an older man named Rucks, the game's narrator, who instructs him to collect the Cores that once powered Caelondia. Players take control of the Kid, a silent protagonist who awakens on one of the few remaining pieces of the old world and sets off for the eponymous Bastion, where everyone was supposed to go in troubled times. The game takes place in the aftermath of the Calamity, a catastrophic event that suddenly fractured the city of Caelondia (/seɪˈlɒndiə/) as well as the surrounding areas of the game's world into many floating pieces, disrupting its ecology and reducing most of its people to ash.
