Portal’s turrets turn up in Bastion

22 August 2011

Do you really need another reason to love Supergiant’s already totally lovable Bastion? Not really, I’m sure, but I’ve got one for you anyway – the game now features 100% more Portal turrets, which experts agree is also a 100% improvement. When it comes to being awesome, it seems Bastion knows no bounds.

The turrets were apparently added in a Steam game update sometime over the weekend, to the enormous delight of everybody, ever. They’re available in New Game Plus mode as a new Gel Cannister Secret Skill, described as “a viscous substance of unknown origin”, and found in the Bastion’s Arsenal. Using it deploys a laser turret nearby. Fortunately enough, it’s not one of those defective ones but don’t get too complacent now – it’s probably part of some mad Aperture Science scheme.

For the moment, or maybe forever, the turrets are exclusive to the PC version of Bastion.

See the turrets doing their own special thing in the video below.
