Ideological message to Bastion. War and genocide

I recently made a video/article about the game Transistor, from the studio Supergiant Games. And after passing it was so full that the very next day I decided to play other studio games. For me, the choice was small – Pyre or Bastion, Since Hades I have already passed a year earlier (more precisely, I closed most of the plot arches). And the choice fell on Bastion since I met only positive reviews, unlike Pyre and it weighs ten times less Pyre, that for my Internet a significant difference. In addition, she is still and Simple enough – I went through it at my pace in 3 pm, and someone will probably be able to run in a day. Therefore, the analysis will be short, without all magnification of gameplay features And A detailed retelling of the plot. The game, for a minute, for more than ten years, everyone who wanted to play, they know the plot, and if not – what are you waiting for? The game is excellent, they do not do other supergiants, especially since it, as I said, is short, with a rich gameplay, a good plot and excellent graphics – perfectly for a couple of evenings. In general, I will start, otherwise the entry will be more than the analysis itself.

General information

And so, I remind Dynabet.co.uk you – the action takes place in Fantasy-STIMPANKOVSKY A world where the presence of muskets, revolvers, salons and other attributes resembling the American wild west of the second half of the XIX century are also presenttechnologies are so developed that it is indistinguishable from magic«. Around such technologies, the plot with gameplay spins. Starting from the bastion itself and air roads, ending with the weapon, which led to the disaster. But not uniform technologies, as they say. The developers also affect the topics interaction of people in society, their Economic Relations and even relationships geopolitical, In the dynamics of the two peoples – Ceiling and Hurray. Distressed analogues of such clashes in the real world can be called American conquistodors and Indians, England and India, French in Africa, Russian conquerors and peoples of the Urals and Siberia, the Roman Empire and the tribal of Central and Northern Europe, in general examples of hundreds. This is what happened constantly throughout human history. When the rulers of the allegedly more “civilized” state bring, by the right of the strongest, this civilization and enlightenment of supposedly “backward” peoples. First, small trade, exchanging a conditional furs for conditional beads, and then speculatively and at Fire support Exclusive territories with useful resources for nothing, all further driven the indigenous peoples into conditional ones ”reservation«. And then these rulers are very surprised when these peoples begin to desperately resist this position. And here there is a different outcome, somewhere the people suppress and the population of different nations begins to live side-by-cow and slowly assimilated, somewhere whole nations become colonies and cease to be the actual masters of their land, somewhere people are so exterminated that they cease to be at least somewhat significant threat and methodically die out, and somewhere such places remain forever hot spots with constantly flashing conflicts, including armed.

Plot

Returning to the plot – how it happened in the world of bastion? There, the people of Ceiling began to develop rapidly at the expense of technology and began to look Sources of resources For their technologies, there are nuclei that are mined on Rudniki. They found suitable deposits near their territories, but bad luck – he lived on them The people of a hurray. As it was initially unknown with them – Rux only said that the Zeemo deposits went to the nothing, almost for the dead. Perhaps this was a hurry to be a good neighborliness, or maybe the presence of more technological weapons helped in diplomacy, who knows. But after this, Hurray already regretted their decision, as the Ceylonds began to build railways over their heads and apparently not coming to any agreement to their neighbors attacked their neighbors. It would seem – wow what they are aggressors, the first to attack. But here, as our guardians said, not so unambiguously.

As a result, the levels won, throwing them further east, and part of the population was taken prisoner – to work for the good of the country against which they fought without the right to leave. And then the rulers of Ceiling made The most stupid that in general they could come up with. They took prisoner engineer Level on Development Uber device that was supposed to Destroy the remnants of the people of the URand, in one of the key positions. If you play in analogy, it is as if the United States would have captured a scientific from Japan during the Second World War so that he would develop such a nuclear bomb in a leading position that will not only cover Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but in general sink from the face of the earth All Japanese islands, leaving in their place a foundation pit with a depth of the Mariana cavity. Sounds like nonsense. And in the world of Bastion, the Ceylond authorities still put this engineer on Direct launch this megbomb. Moreover, he still made records on A whole book in the native language, which no one in Ceiling really understands. As a logical result – this nuclear crap exploded in Ceyonda, not flying anywhere. Only four people in Ceiling could miraculously survive, the rest turned into a «radioactive ash». Among which:

Rux, The engineer of Ceilingia, who participated in the construction of the bastion and in the creation of weapons, including megbombs, apparently.
