Snap walls, deploy cannons, outlast your rivals. Neon Bastion is an arcade strategy game where the shape of your fortress is your strategy. Battle up to three AI rivals or friends on one screen, on a new island every match.
Long
Neon Bastion is an arcade strategy game for one to four players. Every wave you race a 16-second clock to seal a ring of falling wall pieces around your bastion, spend the energy that ring earns on cannons, then aim and fire every shot yourself at your rivals' fortresses.
Rapids lob fast shells, Mortars arc over walls and splash a whole area, Lances pierce three walls in a line. Fortify a ring before the fight, fill all eight slots around a bastion for a garrison bonus, and charge an Overdrive meter that turns five seconds of a losing fight into a comeback. Lead the scoreboard and you wear the crown, and every rival gets double for hitting you.
Play Skirmish against AI rivals on Easy, Medium or Hard, or local multiplayer for up to four players with mouse and keyboard, a second keyboard player and two gamepads.
