Topic: Bastion or Chasm?

So my budget is £15.99. I want a action RPG or metroidvania, but more an action RPG. If I had enough I’d get victor vran. Was thinking about okami as I love zelda but tried it on Wii and couldn’t get into it. I think it’s because you play as a wolf so combat isn’t satisfying.

Thanks guys!

From the length, Chasm is probably longer. But from what I have played of Bastion a few years ago, that game is definitely a gem! Fairly short overall though unless you enjoy doing various challenges.

Blazing through the story kinda put it on around 5-6 hours or so only.

Cool, would you say bastion has the better story or atmosphere?

Played Bastion and the story and atmosphere are definitely top-notch for me (Although their other two games are better personally), but Bastion definitely was very touching.

The narrator is pretty much one of the absolute best as well.

Bastion, no doubt. Chasm is good but I think Bastion is the better more polished game.

I’ve never played Chasm, but I loved Bastion. The music and art are absolute gems. It definitely is worth playing.

Fake-E throws a wrench in, cuz his recommends are pretty spot, haha.

Bastion is excellent.

I hate when people add a third option but ‘Transistor’ is the follow up to Bastion and some consider it a better game? Just my two cents - I’m resisting the urge to recommend Hollow Knight as I do everywhere else, although it’s hard with my eshop being in $AU to know exactly what sits in your price point!

They’re all considered good games regardless so don’t think you can go too wrong!

Ok, I have both titles now and have finished Chasm. I have to say, Chasm is the much better game imo. Chasm has so much depth and the controls are tight! Bastion just seems like a pretty hack’n’slash. Definitely Chasm for me.

Bastion is good but a very straightforward and linear hack and slash. It's not a metroidvania and the upgrades you earn don't really open the game up at all.

So true. You only get small variations on the game play throughout.

I guess Diablo 3 would be your best choice for an action RPG on Switch but I understand it's a more expensive option.
