Alto's Adventure vs Bastion
Alto's Adventure
Alto's Adventure is an endless runner game that lets you join Alto and his friends as they dash through beautiful, procedurally-generated landscapes, from ancient ruins to the challenging slopes of the alpines, via snowboarding. As you snowboard, you'll also get to gather runaway llamas, brave terrible weather, dive off cliffs, and even leap over gaping chasms all the while escaping the mountain elders.The gameplay in Alto's Adventure is also governed strictly by realistic physics so if you miss that ledge and fell to your doom, it is not the RNG's fault... just sayin'.
Alto's Adventure is a different sort of endless running game that has a sort of calmness to it despite being fast-paced as opposed to games like Temple Run where it gets increasingly frantic as you play the game.
Bastion
Bastion is a very unique action RPG that is so different from any other RPGs you might have played before mainly because the game provides you with your very own personal narrator who will reactively narrate your every move and action, resulting in a deeper and much more personal story to be crafted as you progress in your adventure. The brilliant hand-painted graphics and the melodious soundtrack in this game is astounding too, allowing you to be fully immersed in the bright and cheery-looking world despite being shattered into pieces by an almost apocalyptic event called the Calamity.The gameplay in Bastion is most definitely not the hack-and-slash sort. Instead, the game rewards you for approaching your battles with finesse rather than recklessness. To make your character stronger and able to take on tougher enemies, there are plenty of weapons you can loot and upgrade as well. Best yet, you can even discover up to 6 different Bastion structures and that the game has plenty of varied game modes for you to enjoy.
Bastion is an RPG very unlike any other we, and possibly you, have ever experienced before. The game has a really fascinating way of approaching its storytelling aspect and that alone is enough to make the game a must-buy for many players. But if the storyline isn't something you emphasize on, then you might want to grab the game for its gameplay instead.
