[iOS] Bastion for $1.49 (Was $5.49) and Transistor for $4.49 (Was $12.99)

150

Been wanting this game on iOS for a while. It comes up as $0.99 in the US app store which is (in Apple's pricing) $1.49 in the AU store.

For anyone who hasn't heard of Bastion, it's an action RPG by Supergiant that won Apple's Best in 2012 award.

The iOS version has previously been cheaper - $0.99 in 2012, $0.99 in 2013 and $1.29 in 2014 - but given all these deals are past and the current pricing appears to be around $3 on PS and Steam, it seems like a deal to me.

Further comparison at Appshopper - the last time it was this price was in Jan 2015.

About Bastion

Bastion requires an iPad 2 or newer, iPhone 4S or newer, or iPod touch (5th gen).

Description:
Reimagined for iOS, this award-winning action RPG experience redefines storytelling in games with a reactive narrator who marks your every move!

Bastion is an action role-playing video game produced by independent developer Supergiant Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. In the game, the player controls "the Kid" as he moves through floating, fantasy-themed environments and fights enemies of various types. It features a dynamic voiceover from a narrator, and is presented as a two-dimensional game with an isometric camera and a hand-painted, colorful art style. Bastion's story follows the Kid as he collects special shards of rock to power a structure, the Bastion, in the wake of an apocalyptic Calamity.


Bonus: Transistor for $4.49

Separately, Supergiant's Transistor is out for:
* $4.49 on the AU iTunes store or
* $2.99 on the US iTunes store

Not sure if this is really a deal though but could be good for anyone who enjoyed Bastion and is looking for another similar game.

AppShopper seems to indicate that it is the lowest discounted price.
