Bastion Wallpapers


Here are several wallpapers I made of Supergiant Games' Bastion. Some use the image of The Kid from the game's cover art, and the rest are screenshots from more artistic moments in the game. I had to do a little bit of photoshopping to crop The Kid, so if you look closely you might catch one or two minor differences, but I think it looks pretty good. I could easily add the Bastion game logo, if anybody's interested in a version with the wall and the stylized text. Click the full article for the wallpapers.

UPDATE: I added a wallpaper from the restoration ending.
UPDATE #2: I added a few more wallpapers, including the evacuation ending.

You Should Be Playing Bastion













Bastion is the first game from Supergiant Games, and it is a remarkably enjoyable experience. An action-RPG, you go through levels fighting enemies, acquiring new weapons and items, leveling-up, and upgrading your character. It's not especially unique in this regard, but the gameplay is masterfully crafted to feel highly rewarding and compelling. Its most remarkable aspect is the atmosphere; the lush visuals, melodic soundtrack, narrative storytelling, and general premise are uniquely refreshing. Since Bastion only costs $15, you have no excuse not to play it. In fact, you should be playing Bastion right now instead of reading this review.

If you insist on reading further, I have more words for you about why the game is so good, after the jump.
