Bastion Comes to iPad

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.

Heroes of Newerth Makes All Heroes Free

Starting tomorrow, all heroes will be free in Heroes of Newerth. As part of a new game model called All Heroes Free, players will have access to all 107 released heroes at no cost, a move designed to level the playing field and make Newerth “a truly free-to-own game.”

Players were previously limited to pools of 16 free heroes at a time, with the option to purchase individual heroes separately. Anyone who purchased heroes within the past two weeks will receive a full refund, and anyone who purchased a hero at any point will receive a Mecha Gemini avatar for free.

“As gamers, we all know that games are more fun to play with friends, and All Heroes Free will make it easier for players to bring their friends to the game,” Heroes of Newerth director Pu Liu commented. “This new model will also level the eSports playing field, as all players will be able to build their skills and advance their strategies with any hero they choose.”

Separately, S2 Games is adding more rewards per match for Legacy players, and will soon introduce a new game mode called Gated Mode, which will “allow new players to get into the game faster and easier by pairing them with a smaller group of carefully selected heroes and thereby lessening the initial burden of knowledge.”

More details on All Heroes Free, as well as Gated Mode and Heroes of Newerth’s new patch, are available on the game’s official site.
