Transistor’s gameplay is fun and unique, especially in the fact that the Transistor is Red’s weapon as well as her companion. ![]() Many features of the game aren’t very apparent at first glance, but this can be avoided if players fully explore the access point menus. The game is actually playable and enjoyable without the story too yet it is the connection between narrative and gameplay that heightens the experience. ![]() However, once the story did click, everything became even better. Transistor’s story is a mystery in the beginning and remained this way for a good portion of the game. The developers spent time crafting a quality game rather than drawing out gameplay unnecessarily (Developers take note -ed). Some have complained that Transistor is too short, yet the story is completely resolved and the game did not feel rushed in the least. The characters were also incredibly interesting once it became clear how to learn more about them. The concept of an anthropomorphized code world is not new of course, but it was excellently executed here. This is a tale of invasion, conspiracy, love, and torment in a digital world. It’s an opening that sets the tone for this wonderful gaming adventure. The Transistor becomes Red’s companion, narrating the story and explaining Cloudbank and the Process. The voice belongs to the Transistor, a sword-like object Red finds lodged in the body next to her. The gameplay begins when Red is awakened by a voice calling out to her. No one in the city of Cloudbank knows exactly what is going on, including Red, the main character. The game takes place in a digital realm that is slowly disappearing. ![]() While some exploring is necessary to fully understand the beauty of Transistor, the game is well worth the time. Supergiant knows how to craft elegantly simple games that use story and interesting gameplay to take players on a unique adventure. The game design, art, soundtrack, story, and mechanics flow together to create a unique game experience. The science-fiction, role-playing, action game exceeded my high expectations and solidifies Supergiant Games’ position as masters of indie development. Transistor is nearly flawless from beginning to end.
