Bastion developer Supergiant Games announced that its smash-hit action-RPG is coming to iPad tomorrow, August 30 for just $4.99. Apple launches apps on a county-by-country basis, so gamers in New Zealand and some other territories can grab the title now.
IGN awarded Bastion a 9 / 10 “Editor’s Choice” designation in our original Xbox Live Arcade & PC reviews. Reviewer Greg Miller specifically praised the game’s gorgeous watercolor style, its often-parodied narrator, and its excellent design that keeps the player wondering what will come next.
In a lengthy FAQ on its website, Supergiant has revealed plenty of details about the iOS port. The iPad version’s default controls allow players to simply tap to move. Double-tapping executes an evasive roll, and The Kid attacks automatically when enemies are in range. A “classic control” option is also available for players that prefer a virtual joystick & buttons.
The iPad port doesn’t include any new story content (beyond integrating the Stranger’s Dream DLC), but it does feature Game Center achievements and support for the new iPad’s Retina Display screen. The previous version’s “No-Sweat Mode” has also been converted into an infinite lives option, for gamers that just want to run through the adventure stress-free.
Bastion on iOS for now only supports iPad 2 and newer devices.
IGN will have more on this high-profile iPad port very soon.
