The Best Short Action RPGs Of The Last 10 Years

July 14, 2020 by Dennis Patrick

Some great action RPGs that won’t take too much of your time.


Bastion

Listen, we would be pretty surprised if you didn’t play or at least heard about Bastion. This debut title for indie studio Supergiant Games was a mega-hit and the studio has continued to turn out some incredible works. However, we’re focusing on Bastion for this point where players are tossed into a world that has simply been destroyed. Taking on the role of a hero known as The Kid, players embark on an epic action RPG journey featuring some complex levels filled with unique enemies and hazardous world elements.

This story may be a bit lacking, but everything else makes up for it. You have an awesome array of weapons, visually pleasing aesthetic, and to top it off, the smooth vocals of a narrator helps drive the game forward. With vocals bleeding into the game offering some motivation or generic information, the game is not only pleasing to play but just a fun listen as well. The more you play the more you’ll unlock new weapons or customization options and it becomes a battle on when to stop playing. Of course, it’s not a game that will keep playing going through the campaign endlessly anyway. Most have completed this game in about 6 hours so if you’re really short on time for video games but haven’t given Bastion an honest go, then we would highly recommend giving this title a try.
