Should i buy it for $5 on my iPhone?
If you like indie games, it's a really good indie game. If you're a mainstream kind of guy, you won't hate it but you won't like it.
Bastion is a great game with amazing visuals and amazing soundtrack.
Gameplay aint bad either, but i don't think i'd want to play it on a phone myself.
I don't really like either classification honestly. Indie and mainstream isn't really indicative of what kind of game it is to me, only the fashion that it's made. I do like games that are made by indie developers generally, but mainstream isn't all bad either. It depends solely on the game.Quote:

For example, the most recent game i picked up is clash of clans. Not expecting that level of upgrade systems or lasting power but something that doesn't end in a few days would be nice.
@Malthe; Is it on steam?
It's on steam yes.
There is replay value and the difficulty system makes it fun to do challenges/New game plus, a playthrough of the main story would only take around 10 hours though, with new game plus and challenges it would probably extend to 20-25 hours if not a bit more. That's from my own personal experience though.
Bastion is a gorgeous and fun game, I love it. It's rather short (IMO) but for $5, DO GET IT.
Aesthetically, its a gorgeous game. Gameplay wise, from what I played of it, its sort of like a brawler: run from point A to point B, fighting mobs of enemies along the way. People tend to love the announcer.
Its worth five bucks, definitely. On Steam, you can usually catch it on sale for around $2.
Is the combat system somewhat deep or is it more of a masher? Would i want to keep playing it just to fight things?Quote:

I'm not sure if i would call it deep though.
I think people are forgetting the Steam version has a playable demo. Try that out and go from there. Really all I can say.
