You are a citizen of the town of Bastion. Your town guard have been slain by barbarians. And now they are coming for you. Your job is to defend your town. You are no great warrior. You are no mighty soldier. You are just a normal citizen. But you are also Bastion's only hope. The Last Bastion is a competitive game for 1-4 players. You goal is to train enough with the village elders to be able to save your town, then go out and defeat the barbarian horde. Train too much and the horde will overrun the town. Train too little and you will be trampled. Will you be the hero of Bastion, or it's martyr.
