But there's a trade-off: Bounce is also a great attack, as its bullets ricochet from enemy to enemy. My favorite passive is Bounce, which gave Red a lifesaving damage shield.
Purge, a damage-over-time active, becomes an automatic counterattack equipped as a passive. Equip it as a passive, and it offers a 25% chance to become a SuperUser when triggering a turn, which grants unlimited movement range and a devastating one-hit-kill attack. As an active function, Help summons an AI companion to assist in battle.

But that didn't matter, since I could take down even the toughest Process in one turn.Īs if there weren't enough active and upgrade combinations, all 16 functions have another effect when equipped in a passive slot. Later I built my kit around Red's first function, Crash, which makes enemies vulnerable, and Cull, a devastatingly powerful knock-up attack that costs a huge chunk of the turn meter. Early in the game, I upgraded the slow-but-powerful Breach function with Jaunt, which made the attack trigger instantly and let me use it while my meter was recharging. All 16 functions can be used as active abilities-stuns, ranged line attacks, explosive AOEs, cloaking fields, dodges-or as upgrades that augment the effects of other functions. Transistor's hybrid of real-time and turn-based combat is infinitely malleable thanks to the sword's functions. As he talks, Red walks through linear environments, stopping every couple minutes for a battle that will be over in two or three minutes. The narrator also does most of the expository heavy lifting, musing about the Camerata, the shadowy organization behind the destructive Process. The narration works just as well as it did in Bastion (and comes from the same voice actor), lending emotion to a stoic silent protagonist and offering insight and context about the world. Like Bastion, Supergiant's first game, Transistor is an action RPG set in a dying world, with a narrator keeping you company as you play. Eight hours after grasping that sword, I reached the end of Red's journey in love with the Transistor's deeply nuanced combat abilities-and disappointed that the world around her felt so shallow by comparison. Red is the hero, but the Transistor plays both narrator and star. But Red has the Transistor, the mysterious sword she pulled out of the dead body at her feet. Byte by byte, block by block, Cloudbank is becoming nothingness in the shape of a city. Red is a singer with no voice, trapped in a sprawling digital metropolis being erased by white robot programs called the Process.
Transistor begins with a woman, a dead body, a talking sword, and a dying city.
