So I like Bastion, and I like fanfiction.
This is a surprisingly good take on Rucks. I haven't played the game in a while, but this felt very true to his tone, and his tone left a definite impression. He didn't talk nearly this much about what was going on during the game, but with this sort of storytelling gimmick, you gotta do what you gotta do. Also, by starting out slow and ramping up, you made it seem more normal.
The War Machete was definitly my favorite weapon. I don't remember Workmens Ward specifically, though.
The fight scenes were fairly slick and readable.
In the end, though, there's nothing deeper here; no real challenge, or emotional swing, or twist ending, or what have you. It's fun, but fun is really all it is.
There's nothing wrong with that, really, but yeah. I want a little more depth to my short stories before I hand out really high ratings. - RznRoyal Road★★★ 3.0Bastion came out more than a decade ago now, and this fanfiction is probably really niche given everything, but for those who played it - this might stir some memories. The story goes through the motions and tries to capture the feel, but the action is not really smooth here. The prose is awkward and it doesn't flow naturally. It is good though.
