About Bastion

After the Calamity, most of the world was destroyed and seemingly everyone was turned to stone, except the Kid. As the Kid, players will have to flee collapsing city, in order to reach the Bastion, where the game’s narrator Rucks, will instruct players to collect the Cores. Most of the story will be told through the narration and music.

Bastion is an action role-playing game with an isometric overview of the map. As players progress across the levels they will find and unlock collectible items and weapons. After completing said levels the Kid will find Cores, that are used to upgrade the Hub are of Bastion and unlock more features, like a blacksmith, arsenal or an item shop. Any level can be replayed if players missed any items or if they’re short on currency, called fragments. The Kid will also encounter challenge levels, where players will have to successfully use collected weapons under a time limit.

**Key Features**: • Action-packed combat rewards playing with finesse • Hours of reactive narration delivers a deep story • Stunning hand-painted artwork in full 1080p resolution • Critically-acclaimed original music score • Controls custom-tailored to PC plus gamepad support • 10+ unique upgradeable weapons to be used • 6 powerful Bastion structures to be discovered • 'New Game Plus' and 'Score Attack' modes unlocked after finishing the story • 'No-Sweat Mode' lets players of any skill level enjoy the story

How the Bastion optimization card is computed

Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). Your GPU and CPU selections map to comparable-class scores. The generator compares your hardware score against the game's demand to pick a starting preset, estimate an FPS band at 1080p/1440p/4K, and recommend an upscaler (DLSS / FSR 3) and ray-tracing posture. The output is a planning guide — always verify in-game with the built-in benchmark when available.
