![]() Mixing and matching functions is extremely satisfying when you find what works for you. Or upgrade it with Load() to cause a massive explosion at the destination of your dash. But upgrade Jaunt() with Flood() and it leaves a trail of electricity in your wake that damages enemies over time. When I unlocked Jaunt(), I was like a kitten with a ball of yarn. This function lets you dash around enemies to give you the upper hand (and most importantly, gets you easily behind enemies for extra backstab damage). For example, the function called “crash()” has an active effect that damages and stuns enemies making them vulnerable, an upgrade effect that causes most other functions to adopt it’s stun trait, and a passive effect that gives Red damage resistance and an immunity to attacks that slow her down.Īfter unlocking enough functions, this level of variety opens customizing your approach to combat to a nearly endless world of possibilities. Each function has three effects: active, upgrade, and passive. But we’ll get to the story later.Įach ability in the game is unique and serves as a “function,” one of the many direct allusions the game makes to programming. Transistor tells it’s story in an incredibly unique fashion that rewards those who explore. Along her journey, you discover bits and pieces of answers that reveal the story as well as abilities and statistical upgrades. Off the top of my head, it’s hard to recall a better one.Īfter Red takes the transistor, we follow her through Cloudbank trying to discover why the city is falling apart, battling technological enemies on the way to searching for a way to save her lover. ![]() To summarize, Transistor is easily one of the most gorgeous game worlds I’ve ever had the pleasure of losing myself in. For the most part, these aspects of the game’s visuals and audio overlap the surroundings possess a digital architecture with golden decor full of shapes and spirals while the soundtrack has strong jazz, blues, and folk roots but does not shy away from fast-paced drum and bass to accompany it. The world of Transistor is made up of cyberpunk, jazz, and the art of the Vienna Secession. Your experience begins with Red ripping the transistor out of his lifeless body. All that she has left of him is his voice which is trapped inside the sword-like device (the transistor) that killed him. As a result she has lost her voice and most of her lover. Without giving too much away, Red has recently come into contact with the source of these disappearances, an organization called the Camerata. Cloudbank has been experiencing a number of disappearances over the past year or so of very talented and respected individuals. You play as Red, a famous songwriter and vocalist who inhabits the floating city known as Cloudbank. That is the landscape of Supergiant Games‘ second title, Transistor. Now picture those processes going haywire and destroying it all. Consider the coding processes that it takes to maintain all of these aspects of our lives. ![]() ![]() Picture a future where technology has become such a source of survival and art that everything is made from it: the post office, the weather, panini melts delivered to your door in seconds.
